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?

Kira - Ki-rah.
...My name is Kirra, and I live in the shadow of Mt. Keira, so I'm very set in how names like that are said.
And they have nothing to do with Clare, they're either derived from Ciara - "Dark woman", which is derived from Ciaran, or they come from the Persian - "Light", Russian - "Sunshine" or Aboriginal - "Leaf".
