Re: Tara

Here it's always pronounced TAH ra. (I remember for a few minutes wondering what on earth the Buffy character's name was when she first appeared, because I was hearing Terror). It's okay - short and easy to spell, sounds nice enough. Not quite sure of the hows and whys, but it's got a much longer history than you'd think; I found Taras born here in the 1840s.
