Well, it's only female in Jewish or Khmer. In Irish it's male (Khmer's
Dara may also be masculine). I pronounce it DAIR-ah, but I doubt that pronunciation is the same in all three ethnicities of the name.
I would, in any case, spell it
Dara. Anything else looks kre8iv to me. And I'd especially avoid Darragh if it's for a girl, as it looks like a kre8iv pseudo-Irish spelling.
As for me liking it... I like it, but I'm not crazy about it. It sounds a bit boyish for a girl to me, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
