I'm just a little confused with your pronunciation - the "ni" part. Would that be like Nye (as in BillNye the Science Guy) or nee as in...knee?I prefer the Nye, and I agree with you about the KAR-a. So together that would be Nye-KAR-a.
I'm not familiar with Bill Nye...but if it rhymes with dye (die) then that's not what I meant. And not like nee either. By ni I meant the same sound as the beginning of Nicola /Nicole / Nicholas. I say Nicola ni-KOL-a so I thought Nicara would be ni-KAR-a.
