Re: Charis
in reply to a message by Magz
Yes, I think it is.
I used to really like it. I pronounced it like CARE-iss. Then a few years ago, I was working for the school yearbook and we passed out the yearbooks in the middle of the summer, so people had to come in for them. A woman came in and said she had to pick up one for a student, she showed me her name written down, the paper said Charis. I said, "Oh, Care-iss". The lady goes "No, CHAIR-iss."
I ended up taking it off my list after that and prefer Carys / Cerys now. I'm pretty sure she was wrong but I think of that every time.
