Pronounctiation?
Is this the proper venue to ask about pronounciation? I love the looks of the names Maren and Carys, but I've heard them pronounced different ways, and was wondering if someone has an authoritative answer as to the correct way. Thanks!

I know a woman with a girl named Maren, pronounced MARE in. I don't know about Carys, though.

I'm sorry, but I can't tell by looking at it how "Karris" is pronounced. Could you tell me what it rhymes with, or maybe spell each syllable phonetically like dictionaries do? I appreciate your efforts to help!
