I would guess KAHR-uh, because that's how I've heard the Ch in charisma +
Charis, and because CHAR-uh or CHEHR-uh are the 1st alternatives I'd see (I'm vaguely reminded of
Chandra and
Charon), but those sound more awkward/unfamiliar than
Cara.
I like
Cara and
Kara 100% better, although I slightly prefer those pronounced KEHR-uh similar to how I say
Caroline or
Carrie. I would pick
Kara over
Cara for the KAHR-uh pronunciation, partly because of
Kari. I also feel like Khara would be preferable to
Chara.
I like
Cerys but am indifferent to
Carys and
Charis.
Carissa is ok and better than
Charissa (and
Charis) imv, unless I really care about the Faerie Queene connection.
I am not familiar with Undertale.
I like
Chara more if the Ch is a Sh sound as in
Cheryl, but that'd seem least likely to me, and I don't even prefer Shara to
Kara.
Chara: 6/10 for a baby (it's fine; I just don't like the spelling)
