Re: Carys or Charis?
Charis is pronounced HAH-ris in Greek, as far as I know. So there's not even a K-sound. I like the look of Charis better but I dislike the Greek pronunciation and in English people might pronounce it KAIR-is which I like, but they might also say SHAH-reez or something like that which is awful. I also don't feel comfortable not using the Greek pronunciation as it is the original one and the name isn't well established in the English language like Phoebe or something.So I'd pick Carys. The meaning is nice and it is definitely pronounced with a K-sound.
