Kara Joy vs. Cara Joy

This is the name we have decided on, but which spelling? In past polls, Kara has been the popular choice, but I am leaning to Cara because my daughter’s name is Kate, and this would give the girls different first initials. My mom almost named me Cara, so that is why I chose Cara over Kara. I just want to make sure Cara Joy Sullivan looks as pretty as Kara Joy Sullivan to other people. I have always been complimented on my kids’ names and I want our last baby’s name to be just as beautiful. Siblings are Ashley Katherine (Kate), Owen Charles (Owen), and Zachary Alan (Zach). Thanks for your comments. No rude comments, please!

I like the spelling Cara better than Kara. And I think it is a wonderful and very beautiful name! GL!

Your daughter’s first name is Ashley though, so technically Kate is just a nickname and won’t be written down with Kara much.

In your situation, I would keep with Cara since your daughter goes by Kate, because Kate and Kara are too close. However, Kara is a variant of Katherine, you could always tell her that she was named after her big sister. As far as the initials CJ that someone posted, that is great initials for a boy but it doesn’t matter for a girl unless you are going to call her that. I personally have decided to go with Kara because my name is Kim and I want another K, plus my mother is named Cathey and like I said Kara is a variant of Kathryn. Anyway, I hope that helped. By the way, where did you get Joy from. I thought of Kara Brynn, Kara Faith, Kara Ashlie, etc. Just wondering?

Ashley Katherine & Kara Ashlynn- Just a thought. I know their not twins.

Kara Monet, Kara Monique, Kara Madison, Kara Madylynn. etc.



Cara kind of reminded me of CAR-AH too and it is older than Kara. Kara is English and Cara is either Welsh or Irish I believe.

I would go with Kara Ashlie, seeings how her daughter’s name is Ashley.

Go with Kara Joy. Kara is more modern and Cara is so old-fashioned it really needs to catch up with the times. Especially if you call your daughter a modern name like Kate, I would give your daughter an old fashioned spelling. Kara is obviously the best choice.
