I know a girl named Kiera. Her full name is Kiera Dianne Janet. Those are just her middle names though. And the funny part is that'she has a step cousin named Rachel Diana. Kiera is 12 and Rachel is 11. The middle names Dianne and Diana crack me up. Haha!

This is a great boys name. Cute on a toddler, distinguished on a professional. I think It's a solid choice for any boy. I don't see it as a girls name, personally.

My name's Kiera and I'm 26. People's pronunciation is alot better now than it used it be (most likely since Keira Knightley came on the'scene). Even'though the names becoming increasingly more popular I still love it. My parents thought they actually made up the name...I was going to be called Kiora (like the cordial) but after much family protest they changed to 'o' to an 'e' and here I am :o)

We gave this name to our daughter when she was born six years ago. We all love the name, but It'seems to confuse most people. We pronounce it ZAR-ee-a, but It'seems that most people do not know how to pronounce it when'they read it. Once they hear the name, most do not forget it. We have often been asked if we just made up the name. Our daughter especially likes to use the nick-name "Z".
