I like this but is it a bit common now due to the model cara delevigne?

The only Cara I know is 40! So don't think it's that popular today, but it is nice.

Is Cara pronounced Care-a or more like Car(i.e. automobile)-a? I never know how to say it!

EyelinerQueen · 09/03/2014 12:52

The second one Simply. Car(automobile)-ah.

I know a 16 year old Cara. She's gorgeous and it's a lovely name. I also like Cari which is a welsh version of the name.

About Gaius (Gye-us) - it was the first name of Roman leader Julius Caesar and he was a very interesting character....

Will it be an issue that in some places 'Caius' (the English form of Gaius) is pronounced 'Keys'?

It was on our list.

We went with Cara with an L :)

GarthsUncle · 09/03/2014 19:20

Lovely

DumSpiroSpero · 09/03/2014 19:44

Beautiful. My mum used to use it occasionally as a shortening of my full name.

I love it Smile .

BumpNGrind · 09/03/2014 22:24

I have a friend called Cara and she's fun and lovely, in Welsh the word 'caru' means to love and the Welsh name Cari is also lovely. I think either name is perfect depending on potential middle names.

I know a Cara, aged 11. Think it is lovely. Never heard of Cara Deleviegne.
