Re: Spinoff to my name post: How do YOU pronounce this name?
I try to be conscious of it now because my friend prefers Clair-a for her baby but if i say it quick, it comes out Claaara.

Same. But the way it's written here is freaking me out, all I can think of is Hannibal Lecter saying "Clarice" 
"Claire" is also a beautiful name but I have honestly NEVER heard anyone say
Claire-a for Clara

That is interesting I have had the opposite experience, I have known a few "Claire-a's" and have never met a "Claaara" but I am Upstate and have found that there are definite differences in pronunciation between Upstate, Downstate, and Long Island.

Claire-a is more of a southern pronunciation, I believe. I hear it a lot around here.

Like Clarabelle cow from Disney, that's how I would think anyone not from the South would say it.

Nah, my friend is from Colorado and she says Clair-a that way so I think it's a midwestern thing too. I think Claaara (the more nasal sounding way) is just a northeastern thing.

ITA! Here in California there are a lot of things that are pronounced that way...
like Aaron is said like "Air-on"
or Erin is like "Air-in"
You have to remember, these people out here in CA say merry, Mary, and marry all the same way! haha

Re: Spinoff to my name post: How do YOU pronounce this name?
Claaaaara. If you are looking for people to call her "Clarie-A", I'd spell it "Claira".

Re: Spinoff to my name post: How do YOU pronounce this name?
See, this is why I can't use this name I think. Again, I am WEIRD and it would drive me nuts to have it possibly pronounced more than 1 way.
I'm from upstate, though not "very" upstate so I don't have a Buffalo/Rochester accent. But anyway, I'm more inclined to pronounce it "Claire-a" than "Claaaara". Though I don't know which way I like it better
