For some reason, when I see Kara, I always want to pronounce it care-uh, but when I see Cara, my first instinct is to pronounce it car-uh. Don't ask me why, LOL!

I pronounce Kara as KAA (like if you replace the "k" w/a "b" you get the sound a sheep makes)-ra. KAA-ra.

I pronounce Cara as CAR-uh.

Me too, for some reason when I see Kara- I think Care-uh. But for Cara I think of Car-uh.

I cannot find any websites that list pronunciations after various names! Anyone know of any?

I'm with a lot of the others... Kara with a "K" I see as rhyming with Sarah... Cara with a "C" I see as "Carr-a"

I have a sister named Kara - rhymes with Sarah. The vast majority of people she comes into contact with have no trouble figuring out it's Care-uh; only very occasionally did she get called Carr-a.

Good, that's exactly what I was wanting to know. If I name my child that, would she be getting called Car-uh or Care-uh mostly!!?? Nice to hear what people who have that name have experienced!

Thanks!
