[Opinions] Re: Kara/Cara
in reply to a message by as
I think it's alright, it's my middle name. I pronounce it differently than normal though, and that was always a bother. People would say either CAH-ruh or CARE-uh, but I say CA-ruh. It's a hard pronunciation to write out. Kind of like the first a in calendar? It might be a regional pronunciation, I don't know. I find the other two pronunciations very unattractive. Cara as a spelling is preferable to Kara.

I was trying to work out how to write the pronunciation too! I say it the same way as you.

Could you write the pronunciation like kerr-ah? Like the girls' name Kerry, but with a different ending?

No, I don't pronounce it like Kerry. Kerry has a very clear E sound, and Cara has an A sound.
