[Opinions] Re: Pronunciation of "a" in Tara, Sarah
An American Tara could easily be TAH-ra or TAIR-uh. I've known both, and it's just a matter of making your preferences clear. A Sarah or Sara in the U.S. is always going to be SAIR-uh. I don't think there's any way around it without resorting to a creative spelling such as Sahra.Some names with a similar sound:
Mara
Lara
Cara (often KAIR-uh)
Samara
Ara
Zara
Margo
Clara (though this often becomes KLAIR-uh in the the U.S.)
Xiomara
Amara

Sara, spelled that way, would most likely stick.  ·  Soro  ·  1/6/2008, 9:43 PM
