Tara rhymes with Sara, right? Right?! Well, that depends on who you ask. There are slight pronunciation tweaks to the name. Some say straight-up TAR-a, others say the name TEAR-a. And there are some that say TEH-ruh. It could have to do with where you were born and/or accents. Or, it could do with what version of the name people like the best or the one they were first exposed to. Don’t assume that your version is the one that the Tara in front of you likes to be called. All parents considering naming their daughter Tara should also have a clear idea which version they want to go with. And they should think about how they feel about other people tweaking the name.
