Dara is alright, but I'd take
Cara or even
Tara over it any day. Dareth isn't working for me. It sounds like a made-up way to honor a
Darren or feminize the name.
I pronounce
Cara like care-ah. I do like it- it's grown on me- however, I think it's a tad dull. And yes, I pronounce
Kara the same way, but I don't like the K spelling.
