[Opinions] Re: Pronunciation of names containing -ar- - such as Sarah and Karen
in reply to a message by Kellan
There is no universal correct pronunciation. Depends on where you from on and your preferences.
I would say
/ɑ/ as in car:
Aaron (don't like it pronounced like Erin)
Cara
Kara
Sarah and Clara if outside English-speaking countries
Tara
Ariana
/æ/ as in cat:
Carolyn
Mary
Darren
Karen
/ɛər/ as in air:
Sarah and Clara (in English)
Cary
Gary
Barry
