HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE THE FOLLOWING

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Keira
Kiera
Ciara
Kiara
Kira
Chiara

Peronally, I pronounce them all except Keira and Chiara like Ciaran without the "n" (like, Keera) unless told otherwise. Chiara I pronouce like Key-ah-ra and Keira I pronounce like Keira Knightley does, Key-air-uh. However I am 99% sure I'm prounouncing half of them wrong.

PS are they all forms of Claire?

KEER-ah = Kiera, Keira, Kira
key-AH-rah = Kiara, Chiara

I don't know how to pronounce Ciara. either KEER-ah or KEE-ah-rah, I suppose.

Chiara is Italian, so the chi definitely makes a "kee" sound.
