Welcome to
That's right! Finally a page for every Ciara everywhere!
Not Kyra, Kira, Cara, Sierra, See-ara, or anything anyone else calls us.
We are Ciaras, and we are proud!!The Ciaras around the world make up some of the finest people anywhere.
I decided to create this page after the guestbooks of my personal homepages began to fill up with comments from Ciaras who thanked me, simply for being me and having the name Ciara!
That's when I knew, the Ciaras were a strong, banded bunch, harrassed continuously by others mispronouncing and misspelling their name on any and every ocassion.Proud parents of a brand-new Ciara sent me this URL for... The Ciara Song!!!

I have received several e-mails asking for the correct way to pronounce our name, and have decided to save everyone the trouble and write it down here. Ciara is pronounced "Kyr-ra", like the name of actress Kyra Sedgewick. If anyone has recording capabilities, and can send me a .wav or any other kind of sound file, I would be more than happy to put a sound recording of it on the page. Please let me know!
