    Most people over here do pronounce "Sarah" and "Sara" differently but nobody on this crazy Earth says Sear-uh

    Sarah = Sair-ah
    Sara = Sarr-ah

    Most people I know called Sara pronounce it the same as Sarah (Say-rah), but I suppose it's just personal preference in the end.

    However, Shauna and Shona are not the same name and people here seem to think they are.

    In my accent, Sear and Sair are pretty much exactly the same. Hair, hare, hear, here. All the same.

    Your accent is wrong. Like, objectively so. Why do you kiwis think we have different letters? Because they mean different things.

    Tina or Teena

    I guess I would pronounce the same

    Mary or Marie

    I can tell you these are not pronounced the same. My boyfriends mother is named Mary and my middle name is Marie, which sounds considerably more French.

    Joan or Joanne

    Not pronounced the same. Joan like Joe-nn and Joanne like Jo-ann

    Megan or Vegan

    What?

    Manus or Anus

    I suppose so

    On so on..

    Sarah and Sara aren't really pronounced the same but I do anyways because I have trouble pronouncing Sara the proper way.

    This is the same person who thinks soup is also a drink. As I was reading that post and noticed him claiming they rhymed, I shook my head.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Sarah and Sara are the same.

    As for Mary and Marie, it really depends on the person. I have seen them being pronounced the same and different.

    BoB, you scare me. I am afraid to ever speak with you now that I know every word such sounds the same to you...

    Why do people spell their names incorrectly anyway?

    I saw somewhere that one decade "Micheal" was one of the most popular baby boy names, pronounced the exact same as Michael. Like what. Someone really screwed up on a lot of birth certificates.

    I dislike how Americans say Sarah and Sara. The gross way they say the first syllable. Like Sarra. They do it with the first syllable of my irl name too.

    I'm accent racist btw
