- The syllable 케 (ke) used in the name is quite rare in traditional Korean names and is almost exclusively seen in loanwords or foreign names.
- Because 'r' and 'l' sounds are often conflated in Korean, the 'ra' in 케이라 might sound slightly more like an 'l' sound to an English ear depending on the speaker's speed.
