1. No-Elle and no-well sound the same in my accent. A w sound appears in between the No and the
Elle even if I try not to say it.
2. I say it more like Eph-rum.
3. I say kee-ar-a. I know one
Ciara who pronounces it
Sierra, but that's sort of a nickname. Her parents named her kee-ar-a but her grandma always called her
Sarah for so
reason, so she hybridized it into
Sierra. I don't think it would nory make sense today
Ciara that way though (I was confused be her name until I heard the story behind it).
My second pronunciation for
Ciara would be keer-a.
4. Lu-see-a
