Comments for the name Kara

My personal impression is not very good, as my father named me Kara after watching a horror film called The Awakening about an evil Egyptian goddess called Kara.

The first time I heard the name was when I was watching Dragonheart (not the most profound film in the world I know). In that film there's a girl called Kara and my impression of the name Kara is linked to her. She's a redhead and she's really cool (IMO anyway). She's rebellious and stands up for herself.
I would consider naming my child Kara in the future!

Kara is a Celtic name that means pure.

In the Unfortunate Events movie, Sunny Baudelaire is played by Kara Hoffman and her twin sister, Shelby Hoffman.

In Vietnamese, this name means diamonds.

My name is Kara and I love it. None of my friends have the same name as me and I'm my own person. It's not that common of a name and I think there are only some people the name would be good for.

My name Kara and im Irish. The correct Irish spelling is Cara and it means "friend or beloved one". I`ve never met another Kara so it's relatively unusual in Ireland.

My name is Kara (not Karavan) and I really like it also. I am from Australia. Here Kara means Possum in Aboriginal. I have only met a handful of Kara's and have had an instant connection with all of them I think because our name isn't a popular one. I studied Japanese a few years ago and in the their language the word Kara is used for 3 different meanings!

I think that Kara has a Japanese origin also. In Japan, it means "empty".

Kara "Starbuck" Thrace is a character on the television series "Battlestar Galactica."

Kara means 'friend' in Gaeilge and 'dearest one' in Italian (I think)! It is a very unusual name!

Kara is a very, very hot name.

My friend pronounces it KAR-A, as in Care-uh. Most people pronounce it as KHAR-A, as in Car-uh. I think it sounds pretty both ways.

I think this is a very pretty name with a nice meaning. It is strong yet delicate and feminine.

I like the name better pronounced KHAR-UH (as in CAR-UH) but both are pretty.

"Kara" could be a short form of "Karina".

Kara was used the most in the 1980's.

Kara Kum is a desert in Turkmenistan.

My name is Kara and I love it although it means EMPTY. Because it is!

Isn't Kara Hebrew for shark or creature of the sea?

Kara means cold (f) in Hebrew and it's a cool name. I like it especially in the summer ;) By the way, shark in Hebrew will be karish.

I'm not sure, but I think Kara means 'black' in Turkish.

This is the ugliest name I ever heard.

My name is Kara. I like it very much, because it's unusual without being bizarre.

The only bad thing about being named Kara is that it gets mispronounced at least half the time. In fact, it happens so often that I actually get a great first impression of people that pronounce my name right on the first try. That's rather messed up.

Still, it's a lovely name.

This name is cool. At least it's not overused like Jamie of Mary, of course.

I like the name Kara. I think it is pretty and only works for some people. I have only known one Kara in my life, so it is pretty unique.

In Polish, this word means "punishment" and would be a rather strange (if not entirely inappropriate) name for a person.

This name may not render people speechless with its originality and uncommon beauty, but I like the name all the same. It sounds poetic and beautiful to me in some unexplainable way, despite being quite common, simple, and nothing out of ordinary. I like this much better spelled with a 'k', as the 'c' variant looks too much like the Italian word, which still makes me think of an annoying song I had to sing in elementary school.

My middle name is Karra with two R's, and is prounced "Kar-da" with a D, unless in America, where I seem to be either this name (Care-ah) or Car-ah, which I saw people had said, too. My middle name is extremely similar to this. It's interesting, but my name seems to be pronounced differently. I like the name Kara, though, it seems. I don't know; Cute?

It sounds like a person who is kind and gentle. I quite like the name.

My sister's name Kara with a 'k' and she loves it. I think it's a really good name too bad it's getting popular.

This is my name, it is not short for anything. Just Kara. My middle name is Ellen. I have a friend who calls me Caroline. Just because if you say my first and middle name together that is what it sounds like.

I think this might be the name of Supergirl, in one of the latest Justice League series.

Kara is Norse for "song of the swan" or "swan maiden". Kara was one of the Valkyries who took fallen battle heroes to their reward in Valhalla. The phrase "swan song" used to describe someone's last hurrah comes from this. This name is also spelled Cara.

Another famous bearer was Kara Beth Borden. In 2005, when she was 14 years old she ran away with David Ludwig, her boyfriend who was 4 years older than her. Ludwig then proceeded to shoot her parents, for not allowing them to date due to age differences.

A famous bearer is American songwriter/music producer/television personality Kara DioGuardi (born December 9, 1970). She is well-known for writing/co-writing dozens of songs for a diverse population of musicians, including Jessica Simpson, Kylie Minogue, Ricky Martin, Hilary Duff, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lindsay Lohan, Kelly Clarkson, and Ashley Tisdale. In 2009, she joined the television series "American Idol" as a judge for its eighth season.

I LOVE LOVE this name. But not as a diminutive as Katherine or Karoline or anything. Just Kara. I like it better with a K. If I had a daughter this would be her name.=

This name isn't wonderfully elegant or extremely beautiful, but it has a simple, down-to-earth ring to it. I like this name.

I have known plenty of girls called 'Kara'. This is because I grew up in a poor neighbourhood and there were very few families with any real class. Cheap and tacky in the extreme.

I would pronounce Kara like KAR_A. It's very pretty. I like Kara spelled with a K then a C.

Kara Kohler (born 1991 in Clayton, California) is an American rower.

Personally better than Cara.
