Personal experiences with the name Ciara

My name is Ciara, although its becoming more popular, growing up no one had the same name as me. (Honey, everyone is called Ciara.) I do get compliments very frequently,( Oh Really?) but I usually have to explain that it isn't Clara or Sarah (Sarah? Where does sarah come from? Man its not even the same letters.) first. Overall I love my name. (Stfu)

Love my name but really wish people would use the proper pronunciation when saying it or naming their children. (maybe, they shouldn't be called Ciara. just don't call your child Ciara) It is said like "Keer-ah" not like name Sierra "sea-air-ah". C in Gaelic is pronounced as a K not like an S. For example, Celtic is said "Keltic" not "Seltic". (guud point)

My name is also Ciara (AGAIN?) and growing up I absolutely hated it. (lol noice) I knew nobody else with my name and people often called me Key-are-ah or See-air-uh or Cara/Clara/Sara, anything but my actual name. However, now that I'm older (20 years old) I've come to love my unique Irish name that holds a lot of meaning to me. And it's always special on the rare occasion I meet another Ciara. I get so many compliments on how beautiful my name is, I've even had a few people tell me it sounds quite mystical/magical which is a cute compliment. I wouldn't change my name for the world.

Meanings and history of the name Ciara

Ciara is a popular Irish female name (pronounced keer-ah) and was tenth on the list of most popular names given to baby girls in Ireland in 2006. It is the feminine version of the name Ciarán, meaning "dark", "black", "dark-haired" or "black-haired" in Irish Gaelic, and was also the name of Saint Ciara, a seventh-century Irish saint venerated by the Roman Catholic Church. The name's spelling is often Anglicized as Keira, Kiera, Keara, Kyra or Kira.

In the United States, the name Ciara is pronounced sometimes like the name Sierra as see-ar-uh or see-air-uh. The first pronunciation may have been further promoted in part by the popularity of a perfume brand called Ciara, "C-R-uh" after the initials of Charles Revson) created by Revlon in 1973.

I don't like that.
