Names like Careen/Carina?

Okay so we are between Zyra or possibly Careen - happy to pick once she gets here. I’m just not 100% confident in Careen - I have always LOVED Carina but someone else in the family already has it (spelt with a K) Can anyone think of anything else similar? Husband has ruled out Serena 🙄
Or generally any not too common sharp sounding names?

I had a friend at school called Karyn. Not quite Karen and not quite Careen. It was pronounced kind of like Ka-rin, with the emphasis on the "in". (Same as Karen I guess, but with "in" rather than "un" sound at the end.

Or there's the Scandinavian Karin, pronounced Car-in.

Or how about Corin, pronounced like Colin, but with an R instead of an L.

Didn't mean to keep the 'Careen/Carina' bit in there, I just wrote it so I could come up with some you might like Grin

I like Zyra but I think I'd spell it Zaira.

MouseTheDog · 20/01/2019 22:26

Carenza?

I prefer the Karine spelling to Careen. It's a lovely name.
Not keen on zyra, it looks a bit like a brand name to me.
