[Opinions] Kyra
i’m writing a book and one character’s name is Kyra (K-eye-ra) though i’ve changed the spelling and pronunciation of it several times.
what do you think of it, and would you spell/pronounce it any differently? :)

My first instinct was "Keer-uh;" I grew up with a Kyra who pronounced it that way. "Kai-ruh" is also very pretty, but I do prefer the name Kira "Keer-uh" instead. Kyra with your desired pronunciation is easily recognized, though you may need to correct some! I'd say to keep the spelling it as is, for your pronunciation
I like it. I think Kyra is the easiest way to spell it. Kaira would work too but I've never seen it spelled that way.
Oh, Kaira is so pretty! I wish that were used more.
I find it very ugly, but I'd pronounce it the same way.
I've always thought Kyra would make more sense pronounced that way.
