HelpRe: Clara
in reply to a message by LMS
It couldn't be shortened to Clare in most countries. The North American dialects are almost unique in pronouncing the first 'a' in -ara names as 'air', eg Sara as SAIR-uh, Tara as TAIR-uh etc.
Everywhere else, that first 'a' is pronounced 'ah'. SAH-ra, TAH-ra, CLAH-ra.
