Really, really dumb. The "ugh" at the end makes it sound like someone moaning the name Kara. Even if someone were to at least attempt to pronounce this name, they would either pronounce the gh (kar-Aug) or keep it silent and stress the last part, leading to (Ka-RAUH). If this is supposed to be pronounced like Kara, you could at least take out the U and leave it as Karagh. People who name their kids this like to fake Irish heritage and that ends up in really stupid names like this.
It looks like it should be pronounced Ka-Raw or Ka-Row. If you want to pronounce it as Ka-Ra, please just spell it as Kara or Cara. It makes things a lot easier for everyone.
I stumbled upon this name by accident. In my opinion Karaugh is a very masculine name better suited as a surname rather a first or middle. In a way, it kind of reminds me of the name Krav Maga, a brutal martial art. I am certain I would mistake it as such if I were skimming pages quickly. I suppose this further highlights the masculinity.
Ugh, this spelling looks really gross. I stumbled upon it accidentally and I didn't even realize it was supposed to be Cara/Kara at first. The spelling and pronunciation make no sense whatsoever.

A pretentious, pseudo-retro spelling of a nice name. This looks like it's pronounced KA-raw.
