Probably Cara, maybe Kara, but never Carah
I love the name Cara! Don't like it with the h though. I would pronounce it CAR-ah, never heard it the other way

I pronounce both the same way, as CAR-rah. I prefer the spelling Cara.
I pronounce Cara CA-ruh (CA as in cat). It's my middle name.
I pronounce Carah (which looks stupid, imo) CAHR-uh (CAHR as in Car).
It ticks me off when people pronounce it CAIR-uh.

I definitely prefer Cara, but I'd pronounce both of them the same (CAIR-ah).
I prefer Cara and would be comfortable pronouncing it KAIR-uh or KAR-uh. I've known plenty of both, so I wouldn't want to assume.
My impulse would be to pronounce Carah as KAR-uh, but it wouldn't surprise me to hear KAIR-uh instead.

I prefer Cara. I would say them both the same though, cair-uh.
I agree
Cara. The H looks uneccessary.
I would pronounce them both CAR-ah. But if I met a CAIR-uh, then I wouldn't complain and insist it was CAR-ah.
