[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Clara?
I can definitely see why some people would find that pronunciation of Clara pretentious. I think it is slightly less common of a pronunciation in the US. With the Claire pronunciation being more common. Every time I've seen a version of The Nutcracker with narration they pronounce her name CLAHR-ə / CLAR-ə. I maybe have once heard them pronounce it differently. So as a kid my first introduction to the name was the CLAHR-ə pronunciation.Truthfully I love both pronunciations. I was hoping that Clara CLAHR-ə wouldn't seem too pretentious since Lara usually seems to be most often pronounced LAHR-ə. Well most Lara's I have met pronounce it that way. Also I see Sara pronounced SAHR-ə / SAR-ə about equally often as SER-ə.
