Eira is going to be pronounced EYE-ra about 99% of the time. Eara is probably going to be ee-AH-ra most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-spell-a-name#post-2904497 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 17:14:53 +0000 Umbreon 2904497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably do Eera </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-spell-a-name#post-2904485 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 16:03:28 +0000 MamaBear87 2904485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spell it how you want.<br /> I have a Gemma and a Cassius and I constantly have to correct people (on both!) Cassius I get because it can be Cassius like the ancient pronunciation or Cassius like Cassius Clay which is how we pronounce it. That I get but people also mispronounce our daughter's name and I just don't get it. </p> <p>All that to say you'll correct people regardless so pick what you like.<br /> I love it so pretty and uncommon 🙂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-spell-a-name#post-2904483 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 15:55:58 +0000 Ms. RV 2904483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other ways could be Aera (like the ae in Caesar) or Aora (would be an Irish spelling... but it looks like Aorta :bummed:). People would pronounce them Ay-ra at first but ditto what @Mommy Finger said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-spell-a-name#post-2904479 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 15:25:01 +0000 Mommy Finger 2904479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say spell how you like as no matter what, you're going to have to correct people. I don't say that to be a Debbie Downer, I promise. People have trouble with just about any name that they don't think is "normal". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-spell-a-name#post-2904472 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 15:07:24 +0000 erinbaderin 2904472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Erah? Or Eera? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-spell-a-name#post-2904465 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 14:23:48 +0000 Corduroy 2904465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Marshmallow: I started googling out of curiosity.

Definitely not Ira. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-spell-a-name#post-2904445 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 13:22:59 +0000 Mrs. Marshmallow 2904445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How would you spell the name pronounced "Ear-ah"</p> <p>My husband and I both love the sound of this name but haven't landed on how it should be spelled. Eira seems to make sense, but baby name sites say that name is pronounced Ay-ra or Eye-ra.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
