| I don't think that Kristy gets into this file anymore so I will
answer for her. Kristy pronounces it with a long i. She is a very
pretty girl to go along with her very pretty name.

| 4.7 | Something to Muse over | CSC32::S_WATTUM | | Tue Sep 13 1988 13:21 | 20 |
| In XANADU, Kira was (supposedly) one of the Muses, from greek
mythology one of the nine daughters of Mnemosyne (how about that for a
girls name?) and Zeus, each of whom presided over a different art
or science:
Calliope - Epic poetry
Clio - History
Erato - Lyric poetry and mime
Euterpe - Lyric poetry and music
Melpomene - Tragedy
Polyhymnia - Singing, rhetoric and mime
Terpsichore - Dancing and choral singing
Thalia - Comedy and pastoral poetry
Urania - Astronomy
So, now the thing to do is figure out which Muse Kira really was. I
haven't been able to find any reasonable derivation for any of the
"true" Muses that gives Kira as a name, but then it was only a movie.

| Kira is a Persian name meaning "sun". It fits our daughter quite
well, as she's a real sunny blonde with bright blue eyes...
