Sarah

As a Sarah, I've noticed a lot of variation in pronunciation online. My name is Sir-ah. Sir rhymes with air, bare, bear, care, dare, fare, fair, hair, her, mare, pear, per etc...

It is also a different name to Sara. Sara is generally not pronounced like Sarah where I live. Sar- rhymes with bar, car, far, jar, par, tar etc...

My name is Cera and it is said like Sarah.

Well my name is pronounced Sair-a and is therefore spelt Saira! Nice thinking on my parents' part. :-) But people get confused sometimes. I've had sah-ra and sah-ria and sye-rah. My friends and I put bets on when we have substitute teachers who attempt to pronounce it.

My name is Sarah and I pronounce it s-air-rah.

In Spanish, this name is pronounced SAH-rah.

I pronounce it Sair-a. And you have to remember: names don't always follow the rules (i.e., Sean is pronounced 'sHawn'.) You can also spell the name (Sara, Sarah,) Cera. I think it's cute.

This name is pronounced sah-rah in Hebrew.

My name is Sarah and you pronounce it SAR-RA.

In German this name is pronounced sah-rah.

In Holland we do use the SAH-rah pronunciation.

In Ireland I have never heard Sarah pronounced as SAH RAH! I have heard the name Sara (no 'h') pronounced SAH RAH. It can also be spelled Saragh (apparently Old Irish).

In English Sarah is indeed SER-ah (which may be also be written SAIR-ah). As far as I know, virtually no one says Sarah like SAH-rah here in Canada or the US.
