Clara came from Clare which came from Clarence which came from Clarus. So, Clara is Claire-uh.

Its stupid.

Clare shouldn't be pronounced the same as Claire either. I'm talking logically here. I know it IS, even I say these the same. but at should be said rhyming with are.

oh the technicalities..... I love how we are debating this and its totally OT

Haha, yes, we are totally OT but sometimes that is allowed. :)

Clare could be pronounced as rhyming with the word are, but it isn't pronounced that way. Like I mentioned earlier the English language has funky rules and half the time it doesn't follow them.

exactly.

this is the only point I was ever trying to make.
talk about starting a debate......

Clare SHOULD be rhyming with star and are in the english language.

The air sound makes no sense, just like in Mary and Sarah.
