I know a
Tamar & she pronounces it TAY-mar. I like
Tamar Catrina the best out of your combos. I personally don't like the name
Tamar, due to the Bible stories about 2 different Tamars involved in incest (One
Tamar posed as a prostitute, seduced her father-in-law & bore him twin boys. Another
Tamar, daughter of
King David, was raped by her half-brother Amnon.), but I guarantee you that most people wouldn't associate the name with those Bible stories, as they are somewhat obscure. Besides, it really has a nice meaning and a lovely sound to it. :o) Sound-wise, I do prefer it to
Tamara.
