I like it, but I prefer Carys. I know those aren't the same name, but they're pronounced the same.

I actually prefer Carys (prn. KAH-ris), or Karis (prn. CARE-is). Either way it's pretty. I love the meaning by the way.

I think the spelling is off. It makes me want to pronounce it Sah-rees. I don't mind it spelled Karis though. It isn't my favorite name in general.

Why sah-rees?

Because in the english language, that is how it would be pronounced. It is similiar to some Americans incorrectly pronouncing Celtic as "Sell-tic." So, because I am a native English speaker my tongue automatically wants to say "Sar-iss" or "Sah-rees." I do however realize that it is not supposed to be pronounced this way.

But the letter c is almost always prn like k when it's in front of an a, o, or u (think cat, cove, or cup). The only exception I can think of is Caesar, and lots of people misspell it as Ceasar. C is prn like an s only in front of an e or an i (think certain or circus). That's why so many people misprn Celtic as SELL-tic. I can't imagine anyone seeing Caris and pronouncing it like SAR-riss.

I agree also.
It's like that in most romance languages, too (or in Spanish at least): A, O, and U are "hard vowels," while E and I are "soft vowels" and soften C before them.
