I think Eira is sweet.
This day and age names do not seem to stick with the genders any longer. A friend of mine has a little girl name Billie and a son name Sammy, both unisex names but to me billy is male and Sammie is female but whatever fits for you.
Elias, Esmèe and Eira seem to fit wonderfully!
Actor Ryan Reynolds daughter is called James, so I wouldn't worry too much. Follow your heart. Good luck x

It sounds like a boy name
Girls have Blake and etc so use what you love!!

It's my opinion that if you're appropriating a name from a certain culture, you should respect the naming rules of that culture. Eira is feminine in Wales and I don't think it looks masculine at all. I realize you probably want a name with an "E" initial but I don't think you should change tradition to suit that purpose.

I think Ira is more appropriate for a boy.

Ira is a boys name and always has been. Eira has the same pronunciation but it's a Welsh girl name. I would break the E cycle and spell it Ira. GL

I think since Eira is so rare you could get by with spelling it this way. Ira is actually a boy name. So I think you could get by with spelling it Eira if it is what you prefer.

I recently changed my name to Eyra and I'm non binary! great gender neutral name. who cares about what it was traditionally used as.. i'm welsh and I see no problem in it at all. Just at the sound of the name people would usually assume the spelling is Ira, being a male name.
