I like Cara very much. I had wanted to name my youngest dd Caroline and call her Cara, however, Cara works well on its own.

---

Re: pronunciation, I realize Cara is pronounced CAR-a in Irish ("friend") and Italian ("beloved"). Still, I had planned to call my dd CARE-a.

I think it's okay. Nothing really that I would look at as special and that stands out. But it's not bad.

I think it's really pretty, but...

---

...it means "face" in Spanish, which ruins it for me. However, it's got a really nice sound and a beautiful meaning. I'd use it on its own rather than as a nn.

---

P.S: I like pn Car-ah

---

--Laura--

I prefer Kara (car-uh)

I adore Cara, I think it's a really beautiful name.

---

I pronounce it as CARE-a.

---

I definately prefer Cara on its own.

Sugar:Water polo! Isn't that terribly dangerous?
Junior:I'll say. I had two ponies drowned under me.

Cara is beautiful...

---

I've always liked it. I've only heard it pronounced Care-a, but I live in the US so maybe they say it differently in other countries.

---

I think Cara is pretty enough to use on its own, it probably wouldn't even occur to me to use it as a nn for something else.

---

Here's a few mn ideas;

---

Cara Andrea (know somebody named this)

---

Cara Allison

---

Cara Ashley

---

Cara Dawn

---

Cara Ellen

---

Cara Frances

---

Cara Irene (if you are feeling playful, that is; Irene Cara sang the theme from Flashdance.)

---

Cara Jo

---

Cara Justine

---

Kara Leigh (I've seen Cara Lynn used a lot, but it strikes me as too similar to Carolyn)

---

Cara Michelle

---

Cara Melissa

---

Cara Noelle

---

Cara Paige

---

Cara Rose

---

Cara Suzanne

---

Cara Victoria

I love it, it has been on my list forever. I also like Kara. I much prefer the pronunciation KAIR-a, today, but I like KAR-a a lot, too, anyway. I prefer it on its own - to me, the nick for Caroline / -lyn is Carrie / Cari / Caro.

---

Cara Janel
Cara Rebecca
Cara Phoebe
Cara Demetria

I really like it. It bounces in and out of my top 10 faves for a future DD.

---

I say care-ah.

Cara is my middle name...

---

WDYTO this name?
I like it, it is far prettier than my first name, Rachel.

---

Which pronunciation do you prefer?
I hate cahr-uh. cair-uh reminds me of carrots. I pronounce it ca-ruh with (using lilbabylaura101's example) the a as is 'big mac'

---

Do you prefer Cara on it's own or as a nn for Caroline or Carolyn?
On its own

---

Any combo suggestions?
Cara Michelle
Cara Simone
Cara Audrey
Cara Morgan
Cara Jasmine
Cara Georgette
Cara Sophia
Cara Gwendolyn
Cara Primrose
Cara Josephine
Cara Eleanor
Cara Vivian

---

I would pair it with a longer mn, tell me what you like!

---

Oh, and also, I must add, I have never met a Cara or a Kars in my life, but it is known, so a lovely, not common name!

---

This is my resting spot
I can let myself breathe
I may not be perfect
But at least I am free

I use car-a

---

And I love it, on its own. Cara Eloise springs to mind.

Cara is lovely! Definitely not as a nn. Cara should be pronounce the way that doesn't have the first syllable 'car' as in Chevrolet. Cara is like the 'a' sound in big mAc. an AAHH sound. I can't type it! :P

Cara's fine for someone else's kid, but I don't find it very attractive myself. I'd much rather it was a full name than a nickname.
