It depends on location. In Greece, it is pronounced Char-ah. Abroad, it's closer to Kar-ah. In Serbia, where Chara is a nickname for Charles and Charlene, it is also Char-ah, but with a rolled R. I know a family that immigrated to the States from Greece and their daughter likes and is fine with both.

Yeah sorry the first thing that comes to mind is Zdeno Chara, and a seven-foot man on skates is not what I want to call to mind when I call my hypothetical little girl's name.
Unless you want her to be terrifying and intimidating. Actually, the more I think about it...
