Kyrie…Working on this kit. But have no idea how to pronounce the name. Does the y sound like sky or like ear? :thinking:

Following… I’ve been calling her “Kye-ree,” but now that you questioned it I keep singing that song from the 80’s: www.metrolyrics.com/kyrie-lyrics-mr-mister.html

I say Keer-ree when I read it…

But I think it is Kai- ree

Maybe @bountifulbaby can tell us how the real baby’s name is pronounced?

I’ve been saying KY ree. But then I looked at my Kyra kit. I pronounce her name “Kira.” Then if dawned on me…I’m probably pronouncing both names wrong. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Until 2 hours ago, I was calling her Kye-ree and I hadn’t given it a second thought, but this has become oddly important to me. I’m at work, and I keep checking in. I need to know! :rofl:

I’ve always heard it pronounced kehr-ee-aa 3 syllables in church
Like this without the rolling R

But some people pronounce kehr-ree or kye-ree

I listened to that one. Then I listened to several more pronouncing the same name. Some say it one way, some say it the other way. All YouTube did was confuse me even more. :grimacing:
Hopefully bountiful babies will tell us how this particular Kyrie is pronounced. She’s too cute for us not to know the correct way for her.
