Flying

Quick question. If one of the main characters in my fantasy story is named Calevar, would you pronounce it like Cal-uh-var (var sounds like far) or Kale-var. Or maybe something else?

This has been bothering me for basically 5 years because I've asked my friends multiple times how they'd say it and have written his name on a piece of paper for them, but they've heard me say his name so much that they automatically respond with what they're used to. I need an outside opinion because I've been getting tripped up over words like calendar and Caleb sounding completely different. 

Sincerely, someone who is up at 12:30 AM, trying to fall asleep, but instead is staring at the ceiling and having a crisis over the name of an imaginary swordsman/field medic/superhero.. thing. Honestly, he's also having a crisis right now so this is pretty fitting.
