| I have a colleague named Cera (pronounced Sara/h). |
| My name is Sarah with a C. The C is both silent and invisible. |
But I cee it. |
Scarah sounds lovely. |
Thank you for this thread everyone. I am literally laughing out loud over here. Oh man. Sarah with a C!! What sort of incanity will they think of next?? |
Ara ?!? |
| OP, I disagree with the critical posters. I think Cera would be lovely. |

You simply cannot do this, Canye.
Just not a good idea. |
This is the kind of blunt reply that sums up DCUM for me. If I ever need a reality check, I come here. |
I taught a Cerah. However, she pronounced it Chair-ah. |
| OP -- Just remember that a name is really how you pronounce it, not how you spell it. Spell it like you want. I have a last name with a lot of consonants, and people especially in the DC metro area (not so much in the region where I grew up) mispronounce it all the time. I know others with the same last name that have anglicized the pronunciation based on the English phonics. That anglicized pronunciation is not my name, but it is for others. Toe-may-toe, toe-mot-o. |
| Sarachka or something like that is the diminutive of sarah in Russian, according to someone i grew up with. Also grew up with an italian ciara pronounced key-are-uh. |
| Sriracha? That has a c. |
| You can’t. Just say no. |
THIS. You can’t. Have no idea why this is even a question as it’s one of the weirder things I’ve seen asked on here, and there have been some weird posts in this forum. Of course OP, you can do it as long as you want to constantly be spelling your kids name every day all day long for people. Plus, you condemn your child to a lifetime of having to explain the spelling of her name. Believe me when I tell you that it is the biggest pain in the rear end to have to constantly let people know how your name is spelled or correct people all of the time. Just. Don’t. Do. It. |
