Help[Opinions] Re: How do you pronounce Clara and Lara?
in reply to a message by Cristi-es
I pronounce them your way, but I'm not American either.
I once met a British family with a little girl, Clara, pronounced Clare-ah; they explained that they couldn't choose between Sarah and Clare, so they combined them. I was horrified, but they were pretty proud of themselves.
I just hear the Dr Zhivago tune when I see Lara, and it doesn't make me warm up to it at all. I quite liked the book, but not the movie. However, Laura is one of my very favourite names, and Lara seems silly next to it. I like Clara, and a lot of northern European names actually, but I'd be more likely to use Clare.
