Kara is sometimes in my top 10. I've always liked it.

---

I'm usually a C- girl, but I prefer the look of sharper Kara. I don't dislike Cara, but I think "cara mia," and I get a mental image of Gomez Addams kissing his way up Morticia's arm.

Cara if it's Latin and means Dear; Kara means Black or Dark as I understand it.

I find them both dated. About 30 years ago there was a minor explosion of Cara and Kara people, but it passed.

I like it. It is sweet and simple but pretty.
It is a little dated as it and it's variants were very popular in the 80's.
(It seems every female at my husband's high school was Cara/Kara/Carrie/Caroline/Kelly/Christa/Kristen).

It's pretty. A bit boring maybe, but pretty. I prefer the Cara spelling. I always prefer a C over a K, because I find C to be soft and graceful, whereas K sound harsh.

I like Cara. I think it's sweet, probably because it reminds me of the word "caring." It's a nice, simple name. I dislike Kara, though.

I've always liked Cara / Kara. In fact, with my youngest, I wanted to name her Caroline and call her Cara which appeals to me more than Kara. It looks softer.

Very pretty. I prefer the Cara spelling because it means friend in Irish and dear one in Italian. A two-for-one name. :-D

I like it. It's a bit boring, but not too much. It has a soft, sweet sound. I prefer Cara for "care + a" and Kara for "car + a". Not sure why.

From a numerology standpoint.

---

K is a vibration of 2
C is a vibration of 3

---

Just one letter change in a name can change the vibration.

---

When adding the rest of the letters vibration numbers you come up with the whole vibration of the name.

---

Kara is a 4 vibration: solid, responsible, and seeks security

---

Cara is a 5 vibration: seeks freedom and adventure

I like it as long as its pronounced KAR-uh not KAIR-uh. I find in some accents the A sounds more like a soft A sound, which I dislike.

---

I think I prefer the C spelling because K names are too trendy right now.

I think it's alright, it's my middle name. I pronounce it differently than normal though, and that was always a bother. People would say either CAH-ruh or CARE-uh, but I say CA-ruh. It's a hard pronunciation to write out. Kind of like the first a in calendar? It might be a regional pronunciation, I don't know. I find the other two pronunciations very unattractive. Cara as a spelling is preferable to Kara.

It's OK. I prefer the look of Cara. I have bad associations with Kara so I'd avoid that personally. Kara looks more dated to me.

I prefer Cara, it has a nice meaning in Irish (friend). Kara doesn't do anything for me - I don't like many K names. I used to really like Cara, now I find it a little boring, not sure why.

Yuck. I don't think it's pretty at all, especially with the K- spelling. It sounds very trashy.

I like it. I prefer Cara, but I like Kara as well. Kara reminds me of Klara, so I think that Kara seems more likely to be pronounced KAR-a rather than CARE-a, but I have heard Kara pronounced CARE-a frequently enough that I don't think that there would be many problems.

I've always liked it. Pronounced Care-a, of course. I think I like Cara better, but it isn't much of a difference to me.
