Hello folks,

Stuck between these two names. 😫

Sara pronounced SAH-RA (not Sarah) or Cara. Which one do you prefer?

Cara, though I also like Zara, Tara and Lara.

I struggle with remembering that Sara is sometimes pronounced as Sarah!

Cara. I have a Sarah but I don’t like sara. Zara is also lovely if that’s the sound you’re going for.

Love Cara! Not keen on Sara at all.

Cara. Both are nice but Sara might get Zara/Sarah.

Cara! Especially if you have Irish relations

Sara is alright but all the Saras I know spend their life correcting the pronunciation. Most people assume it’s the same as Sarah. I like Zara as a close alternative though

How about Lara?
