Hello. My name is Karin (Care-Rehn). While in Germany as a a teenager, I found my name to be common there. I asked how they would pronounce it, and they said it the same way I do. Personally it drives me nuts to be called Cah-rin, but that is due to association. Anyways, that's just my 2 cents. :D I do have a wonderful friend who's name is Carren (Car-Rehn), and I think it's beautiful. It drives her nuts, because nobody get's it right.

I love this name, since it's my name. But it can get annoying sometimes when people pronounce it like Karen. I always say, (not in earshot of anybody) "if it isn't spelled like Karen it shouldn't be pronounced like Karen." My mom's friend even spelled my name Caren! Anyway, yes, this is a great name, despite it's tendency to be misunderstood. Where I live this is a very uncommon name.
