Re: Tamara
in reply to a message by ClaudiaS
I have also heard Tam-ruh, but I believe its a more European pronunciation. I think its sort of like Tara pronounced the Gone With the Wind (Tarr-uh) way and Tara pronounced as Tare-uh. The former is definitely more Irish-European while the latter has an American flair.

I've known an English and a German Tamara and they both pronounced it tə MAHR ə (yup, a bit like tə MAH toe). This is the only pronunciation I've ever come across.

You can hear it being said here. Some people say "Tuh-meer-uh" as well.
