[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes it is an Indian name meaning star and pronounced Tar-uh, not Tare-ah.  I thought of the aa spelling to prevent people from pronouncing it Tare-uh.

Tare-uh just sounds too 80s and I just don't like the name.  I know some people will mispronounce but I am hoping a phonetic spelling will help with that.

The hard t versus soft t issue is a puzzler for us. We want an Indian name and eliminating all soft t names, AND finding a name that is easy to pronounce AND has a nice meaning AND that we can both agree on is a toughie.

OP as a fellow Indian-American who is also thinking about baby names, just go with whatever you feel comfortable with.  I think Taara is fine and much less likely to get the mispronunciations.  That said, people will always pronounce the T incorrectly, and as long as you are okay with that, then so be it (I have a t in my name and don't correct anyone.  I did get my husband to pronounce my name properly, though!)[/quote]
