This is actually one of the potential nn's if we have a girl. We plan on pronouncing it Mar-a.

I agree that I would pronouce it Mar-a.

I don't agree with the second part...Mare-a would not be Maria. Mare-a would sound like it had the word "air" in it. The "e" would be silent, not a long-e sound.

Mare-a would actually rhyme with Sara.

Ma-re-a would be Maria.

I would totally pronounce it as if it rhymed with Sarah. Mara, Tara, Kara-all of these would be similar in my book.

I'd pronouce it like Sara. Ma-ra.

Mare-a to me, sounds like Hair-a.

Yes, this is exactly what I was trying to say, but you said it much better!
