Help[Opinions] Re: Mispronunciations on real people...
in reply to a message by Llewella
The difference between Sara/Sarah is British? I'm American and I always assume that Sarah is SAYR-uh and Sara is SAH-ra (but then again, I haven't actually met any American Saras.)

That's really weird for me to think about. Where I'm from they're both pronounced the same (SAYR-uh).

That's what the general consensus seemed to be when it came up on this board once before. I say Sara as SAH-ra in my head because I really like that pronunciation (makes me think of A Little Princess), but I've known plenty of Saras and they all said it like Sarah. (I'm really surprised you've never met a Sara! It ranked in the 20s-30s for most of the 70s and 80s, and hasn't been out of the top 100 until 2009.)
