It's alright. It reminds me not of "caries" but of "caress" and "care," and that makes it seem too soft and weak for my taste. Like Lily. I had it on a favorites list once though. It does have some appeal.
I pronounce it, roughly, "KEHR-iss." Like "care." I could be easily trained to say it like "car" if I were asked to, though.

I love it. It's so soft and pretty. I pronounce it CARE-is.

I work with a Carys who is originally from Wales and she pronounces her name with the first syllable sounding like the word "care" and so does everyone who knows her.

KA riss, with the first sound as in cat (listen to the top pronunciation here: http://www.forvo.com/word/carys/#cy) If you want something pronounced care-iss, then Cerys is closer.
It's a nice enough name and would go with almost anything, barring other ca- and -iss names and R & S names.

Carys Emily
Carys Juliet
Carys Elinor
Carys Anwen
Carys Jane

I would pronounce KAHR-ihs. I prefer Charis, which I think is easier to pronounce.
I pronounce it CA-riss. The 'ca' is like the beginning of the word 'cat'. I think it's ok but it's not a favourite of mine.
I really like the name Carys in theory but don't know if I would use it because its fairly unknown in my area and I would expect pronunciation problems. I like the meaning and the look though, and I think it could work :-)
I would pronounce it "KAIR-ihhs."
