Help[Opinions] Re: Question for those in the UK
in reply to a message by Pickles
oh! can I piggy back on this one? are Sara and Sarah pronounced differently to you? if so, why?
*I was watching a true crime documentary about a British murder where one family member was a Sarah and another a Sara and I swear they were said differently. Sara was more like Zara.
Please rate my "Names I would Use" list & "Backup Favorites" list. Feel free to rate some of my other lists too if you have the time.

we say Sarah to rhyme with carer and Sara to rhyme with Cara or Lara

I'm from the US and I'd say the first syllable of Sarah to rhyme with "air" and the first syllable of Sara to rhyme with "car". I've seen Sara used for both, but I've only seen Sarah used for the "air" version, so I'd tend to assume Sara is the other way until I hear them say it.

Yep, same.
We pronounce Tara and Cara like Sara, too - TAH-ra and CAH-ra rather than TAIR-uh and CAIR-uh.

that is interesting, we just use them interchangeably in the US as the former. But I kind of like the latter as well

Yes, I second this.
