I'm with you on the British pronunciation. The Nutcracker was a big part of my childhood, although I'm fairly certain the American pronunciation was used.

I dislike claire-a, a lot. It reminds me of a cow. Clar-a is prettier. I used to love Claire / Clare, but now I'm starting to see how it can be seen as week.

Also: I wouldn't use Clara in the US, at least around here. Everyone will be familiar with the claire-a pronunciation and think that clar-a was weird.

It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.
