Here in Aus, I think they are pretty much always pronounced ar. Well, except Sarah which is always Sair-. Sara is Sah-ruh though, and the others are said the same way. I know one Sara said Sarah, and one Clara said Clair-uh, but the first has Candian parents and the second American.

I think Tara said Tair-uh is one of the ugliest things I've heard. I like the -ar prn. much better than the -air ones.

I'm the opposite with Tara...

I think Tara pronounced like Tar is super ugly and just destroys the name for me. It's my middle name and it feels so princessy, airy, and light pronounced Tair-uh.

Its kind of interesting how we pronounce names though. In America, everyone pronounces the debated names in different ways. I think it depends on the area of the country you live in and your preferred pronunciation. I have lived all over so I say Clara and Sarah as Clair-uh and Sair-uh, but I say Tara as Tar-uh and Cara as Car-uh and Cair-uh.
