Hi Puddin0705,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to always be able to easily type your nieces name correctly. You may consider setting up a text replacement that will automatically change her name if you type it incorrectly. Essentially, when you type "Kheira" it will automatically replace it with "Khiera". This article has the steps: Save keystrokes with text replacements on iPhone.
"Create a text replacement
- While typing in a text field, touch and hold
or 
. - Tap Keyboard Settings, then tap Text Replacement.
- Tap
at the top right. - Type a phrase in the Phrase field and the text shortcut you want to use for it in the Shortcut field.
Have a word or phrase you use and don’t want it corrected?
- Go to Settings
> General > Keyboard, then tap Text Replacement. - Tap at the top right, then enter your word or phrase in the Phrase field, but leave the Shortcut field blank."
We hope this helps.
Take care.
