Keira

I voted Kira. The other two spellings would make me think kee-AR-ah, not KEER-ah

NOT Keara.

Keira is my little listers way of spelling it and it looks right but the Irish way is Ciara.

All three look like they would be pronounced, "KEER-uh" to me.

I voted for Kiera. It’s Irish (originally Ciara, from male Ciaran / Kieran), meaning "dark haired." Kira is my second choice. It’s Russian, the feminine of Kiril ("keer-EEL") / Cyril, meaning "lord." I’ve never come across Keara before. I assume it’s another variant of Ciara. Perhaps the origin / meanings can help you to decide. Good luck! :0)

I voted for Keara, but I actually think Keira is the best spelling for the name. I wouldn’t use Kiera, as that looks like Kee-air-uh, and Kira might be mistaken for Ky-ruh.
