[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there,
My husband and I really like the name [name_f]Cara[/name_f]/[name_f]Kara[/name_f] equally.
Which do you prefer… And why?
The middle name will most likely be [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f].
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think it matters if there are too many ‘K’ sounds?
Thanks for your opinions 
When I read these names I pronounce [name_f]Cara[/name_f] like Car-a and I pronounce [name_f]Kara[/name_f] like Care-a
Im sure you can say both versions either way that is just what my brain interperates them as
I’ve always, always loved [name_f]Cara[/name_f] (spelled like that).
Also, I think in this case, there are a lot of Ca/Ka sounds with [name_f]Cara[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f].
Hmm I think bith work. Depends whether you like the visual alliteration of [name_f]Kara[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] or if you prefer the contrast of [name_f]Cara[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]. Writing it out I prefer the latter. If you do choose [name_f]Kara[/name_f], I just hope your last initial isn’t K!
I think [name_f]Kara[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is a little too much K, but the balance of double K sound but different initials in [name_f]Cara[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] strikes the right balance. [name_f]Cara[/name_f] is also the Latin word for beloved, a beautiful thing to have for a name.
I like the [name_f]Kara[/name_f] sp best
Normally, I prefer [name_f]Kara[/name_f]. However, with [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] I think I prefer [name_f]Cara[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Cara[/name_f]. I pronounce both of them as Care-uh at first glance though. [name_m]How[/name_m] are you intending to pronounce it?
[name_f]Cara[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is just the right balance.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone ”
Our new favorite combination is [name_f]Cara[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] ([name_f]Nicole[/name_f] is also a family name).
Her older brother’s name is [name_m]Samson[/name_m] [name_m]Mark[/name_m].
After some thought… [name_f]Cara[/name_f]/[name_f]Kara[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] has too many ‘Ca/ka’ sounds…
Sounds a bit bogan when said outloud with our Aussie accents too! Haha! ”
I prefer [name_f]Cara[/name_f] because it means “loved” or “beloved” in Italian. I would think that [name_f]Kara[/name_f] is a respelling of [name_f]Cara[/name_f].
Yes, the more I think about it, the [name_f]Cara[/name_f] spelling is the right choice for us. I love, love the meaning behind the name, too.
Plus…
[name_f]Cara[/name_f] is the name of the jewelry store my husband bought my engagement ring from.
Our 20 month old son’s favorite word right now is ‘car’. He is totally obsessed with cars. So he’ll be able to say his baby sister’s name easily! Hehe
Awww! It’s perfect! So pleased! [name_f]Happy[/name_f], emotional Mama Xxx
I think [name_f]Cara[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] looks better than [name_f]Kara[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]…that’s the only way I can decide which, though - I love them equally as well!
I prefer [name_f]Cara[/name_f].
I’m thinking this too, but I so much prefer [name_f]Kara[/name_f] that I still would consider it despite the alliteration.
I was going to say the same! I’d go with whatever pronunciation you want, unless you want it to be CAR-uh but two K’s in a row is too many for you.
I love [name_f]Cara[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f]! I love the name [name_f]Cara[/name_f], partially because of [name_f]Cara[/name_f] Delevingne, but I prefer the care-uh pronunciation. I assume you are using car-uh?
[name_f]Cara[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is lovely. I’m a huge fan of [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f].
[name_m]Le[/name_m] swoon–I love [name_f]Cara[/name_f]! I say them both the same, but I like the softer “C”, so [name_f]Cara[/name_f] gets my vote, but I adore her. She’s so sweet, and I love most of her meanings (my favorite is “friend”–it shares a meaning with my grandmother’s name, which I find to be super sweet). I think I might go with [name_f]Kara[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f], though, just because CK/KC initials have always looked sort of odd to me. (Unless you have a “K” surname. I definitely would avoid the initials KKK at all costs!) [name_f]Cara[/name_f]'s gorgeous, though!
Good luck!
