Me too. In the UK,
Sara is usually Sah-ra to rhyme with
Zara,
Lara,
Kara,
Tara etc. Although some people use it as an alternative to
Sarah.
I prefer
Sarah as it's more classic but I find it a very boring name because I know so many of them! I'd put it with a more unusual middle name but can't think of any at the moment!
