I say Tara as TAHR-ah. Sara is SAH-rah while Sarah is SAIR-ah, so if you like SAH-rah, it might work to drop the H.

Ditto. In the UK, Tara is always TAR-uh (what you describe as the 'British' way), while Sarah is always SAIR-uh (what you'd call the 'American' way). Sara, on the other hand, is usually SAR-uh (to rhyme with Tara).
