[Opinions] Kara or Cara
I like the name Kara or Cara ( pronounced Ka-ra not CAH-RAH) I have decided on the middle name Joanne, but am not sure how to spell
C(K)ara. Any thoughts?:) Jessie

How is ka-ra and CAH-RAH different? Unless you mean kare-a (more /r/ sound) and kah-rah/cah-rah?Just reading a post further down:
All Kara's and Cara's I have known they have all been car-a / kar-a or however to try phonetically transcribe it. blah! I think the kare-a is more American because they are more likely to pronounce the /r/ and so changes it.
Anyway - I don't like the kare-a pronounciation and I am now lost at how you are going to pronounce it. If Siri is right then your pronounciation goes with Kara, I think. And my Pronounciation matches with Cara.I prefer Cara spelling anyway. I like Kara/Cara Joanne.:o)

I prefer C's so Cara gets my vote.

I'd spell it with a "C" it's pretty that way to me.~~The brave may not live forever, but the cautious don't live at all~~

If its pronunced Ka-ra, spell it Kara. Cara is ca-ra.

Wouldn't "ka-ra" and "ca-ra" be said the same?

I love the spelling Kara, it's one of my favourite names. I also prefer it pronounced the way you like it. I think Joanne goes very well together with Kara! Good job!~Lully Lulla~

I pronounce Kara / Cara as Kare-uh. I don't care for the name, as it sounds harsh to me, but I like Joanne. I choose the spelling Kara - Kara Joanne.
