Cara with no accents etc - I haven’t seen it spelled another way.

Cara. Not all that fuss. The child have to explain and explain and explain...

No need for an accent

Yes I’d just spell it without the accent.

Why would it need an accent? It comes either from Italian meaning beloved or Irish meaning friend. No accents in either.

Do you actually understand what accents are? They are used in different languages to affect the pronunciation or stress in a word. They're not something you just stick on to make your child's name look 'speshul'.
