How would you spell it to get this pronunciation?

Question

How would you spell this name to get people to say "Muh- Keera"?
Makiera
Makeira
Makira
Some other way??
I dont want people to mispronounce it or not know how to say it. What's the best way to get that sound across? "Ma-keer-uh"

Answer

I would spell it Makira. Because a lot of people pronounce the Kiera part like Kee-air-uh.

Answer

Mukira

Answer

Makira and Makeira are the acceptable spellings for that pronunciation. However, I think Makira will probably give her less of a headache since it’s like Shakira.

Answer

I think either Makeira or Makira should work. Kiera usually rhymes with Sierra so I wouldn't use that one.

Answer

MaKeira to me. I think the “Ke” encourages the kee sound inside of a kye sound.

Answer

Makhera

Answer

With unusual names / less common names you are always going to get people that mispronounce or don't say it correctly. So in that vain I would spell it how you want it to be spelt. Even if you were to spell it almost phonetically you're still going to have people mispronounce simply because it's not a commonly known name like James, Steve, Malachi for example.

Answer

Definitely Makiera!
