Kara - KAH-rah (can't stand it pronounced KAIR-rah, it sounds ugly IMO)
Elvira - el-VEE-rah
Tamara - tuh-MAH-rah

So... let me get this straight. You want to fly on a magic carpet to see the king of the potato people and you're telling me you're completely sane?

Me too
Obviously our Swedish pronounciation is closer to the British pronouciation here.
Besides, to me Cara or Kara is Italian, Elvira Spanish and Tamara Russian. And I am certain that Italians don't pronounca Cara as "care-a" and Spaniards not Elvira as "el-vye-ra".
But nowadays we just have to ask a person how she pronounces her name; international names have different pronounciations in different countries.
