I live in the US. I usually pronounce Clara, Tara, Mara, Lara and Sara as CLAR-ah, TAR-ah, MAR-ah LAR-ah and SAR-ah. I see them pronounced both ways with the AIR and the AR sound but I've met slightly more AR than AIR.

Hm, fancy that. I'm from Australia myself - South Australia. I words like dance, chance etc with the AH sound, although I know some parts of Australia, like NSW, pronounce it ANce. These regions might be open to pronouncing Clara your way - I'm not sure. Of course I like my natural pronunciation of words/names more. :)
