Name spelling help!!

Okay so we love the name Mira. But most people pronounce it “My-rah” which is pretty! But, I think we like the pronunciation “Meer-ah” better. Would the spelling Meira be better??

I’d just keep it as Mira and correct people, there’s a Disney+ cartoon with a girl called Mira pronounced the way you like

I’m not sure if I want to correct people her whole life🤣

I don’t think you will, it’s a lovely name

Maybe “Meara”?

Doesn’t matter what you call them they’ll have their name messed up.
We get Sylvia. All the time.
Her name is not Sylvia.

I don’t mind that either but it autocorrects to Meats hahaha.

Meira i see it as may-rah
I think if it was Myra they would of pronounce it m -eyerah
But since it’s with an I I don’t think the majority will.
The only option I see if you don’t want anyone to make a mistake would probably be Meera . But , I love Mira

My mom’s the one who got in my head with pronunciation. Silly moms!

Mira to me is “mee-rah”
Myra is “my-ra”


My mum hated both my kids names she’ll hate this ones name too but mira is a lovely name x

I pronounced it the way you want it pronounced when I saw the name

Mira, Mirra, or Meerah all cut & self explanatory on pronunciation. You can't worry about others, spell it how you want. There will always be someone to butcher even the simplest names.

My name is Sierra & I still get called Seria or Sara.

I would pronounce it Meer-ah (Australia)
