I would probably say "key ah rah" without knowing that it should be Sierra.

I don't think so Dull, but I'm not sure now that you say it. I've seen both Sierra and Ciara, and both were pronounced in the same way. I don't know if that is a "rule" though.

C followed by an I is usually an "S" sound. I would have pronounced it as SEE-AIR-AH vs. See-are-ah, but you'd only have to tell me once to get it straight. I think the way you are doing it is great!
