Re: Mara
in reply to a message by Jacks
I've heard Mara pronounced mostly as MAR-ah (or MAHR-ah), but occasionally as MARE-ah, rhyming with Sarah. Maura, which I've only heard a few times (and on actresses at that), has been said as MORE-ah, rhyming with Laura. So the sounds are very different to me. BUT, I can definitely see pronouncing Maura as MAHR-ah. Phonetically it makes sense. *shrugs*
