I think her full name was Glafira (short-Glasha), but mostly she was called "Ira" (not "Irina"). But, possibly, Natalia Kravtsova in her memories call her Glasha to distinguish from Irina Sebrova (Kravtsova's pilot), since both of them was often refered by name only in her memoires.
But, if so, it's not correct to call Kashirina with "Irina"- it is different name. I found "Irina Kashirina" (not "Ira Kashirina") only in momoires of a "third party" persons. In memoires of people from the same squadron- only "Ira" (in Aronova's and in Ahmetova's momoires) or "Glasha" (in Kravtsova's memoires).
