funny question

[asmallfall]

curious...when you see this word:

mira

do you think it would sound like mee-rah or my-rah?

do you think the i would need some sort of funny accent to make it sound like ee? or is it fine the way it is?

(maybe puppy's name!)

I think of Mye-rah because I'm from Nova Scotia and there's a river called The Mira here pronounced Mye-rah. Also that Anne Murray song, "Song for the Mira."

But in Spanish Mee-rah (Mira) is "look!" (like, "look at at that!") so I think you can get away with it!

Oh, in Spanish it would be mee-RAH, but whatever!

oh man, i hope after people see my dog's name, they aren't going to think i named her after an anne murray song!

I was thinking of the song "Out on the Mira", but yeah what Sarah said.

I have a friend who spells her name Meera.

i'll have to take a listen to that song now

i thought of spelling it out as meera, but i just really like the look of the i (plus i have a thing for 4-letter names, being lucy and all!)
