Re: Claire
I would amuse you then. I do rhyme Clara and Sara. Same goes for Cara. Typically I lean towards British and European pronunciations. But these names are the exception to that rule. I've never cared for the pronunciation you favor. Can't even put my finger on why that is. It just sounds less attractive to my American ears, I guess.

I do know a bit of German, so that's probably my reason. The only Clara people I've known have had connections with Germany or with Afrikaans-speaking South africa, which in this case comes to the same.
