anytime i go to one of these sites thats supposed to tell you about names and they have this huge name database i love it when i type in my name and no results were found it just reminds me that even though there may be lots of people these days with my name my spelling remains unique

never heard of this name in ireland, female version of Ciaran is Ciara

This name reminds me of my neighbour's truck, no offence but it's still a beautiful name!

I do love the name Sierra, that said - it somewhat bores me. I do prefer it to the alternate spellings, which I think are used to spruce up an already mundane name.

I named my 2nd daughter this name, but i wanted something different in the spelling, so i spelled Seaira, and everyone loves it.

I love the name Sierra a lot!! Everytime someone see me they always sing Ciara, the rap artist, first song, 1,2,step!! And I get very tired of it but i have to get used to it cause im going to hear it all my life!!!

i love my name i think it is the best name in the whole world

When I was growing up i was the only one that had this name and I had to spell it for every one. It is different and beautiful.

I've only ever read that Sierra means literally jagged or rough mountain. Thus "Sierra Nevada": literally translates to snowy mountain. I'm not sure why they say it comes from ciaran "dark".
It is a spanish word, not celtic.
I suppose Ciara may come from that, but not Sierra.

how do u pronunce Sierra?

I love the name ...but there is so many people with that name ....Sierra Marie.....i went to school with 3 or 4 other Sierra's ...pretty name though

I think this is a lovely name but thinking of spelling it as Seeara, not too sure about the spelling though. Because I would like to prounance it as C-ara.Help

The name "Sierra" no matter how it is spelt has become a very popular name. When I was growing up there was myself and one other that spelled hers Ciara. I believe it is a very beautiful name compared to my first name which is "Tommie". I love my name as I was named after my grandfather but Tommie for a girl is a little bit of a stretch.

i love this name r 4 a girl

I may nam emy baby Sierra

My lil girls name is Sierra, I love the name it is very beautiful but when it came down to me and my husband picking a name he wanted to name her Stephanie and I personally am not a fan of that name (everytime i hear it i think of full hous lol) so we couldnt decide but then my sister in law suggested sierra and we both loved it =) and it fits her so well

So, my name is actually Sierra, only my mom decided it should be spelled "Syerrah" instead. I think it's cool, but I never actually knew what it meant. Also, I didn't know it was an Irish name, I always thought it was Spanish or something...Anyway, the meaning doesn't really fit me, since the only thing 'dark' about me is my hair (which is only brown, not black) as I'm otherwise pretty pale, but I still find it really fascinating to know what it means.
