I am afraid that there is no way of spelling your name that will guarantee the correct pronunciation.

Sara ~ /'s?r?/

"Narima" will, I think, be instinctively be pronounced in one of two ways, depending where the English speaker thinks the primary stress is located.

/n?'ri:m?/ — most likely guess — primary stress on the second syllable.
/'n?r?m?/ — less likely guess — primary stress on the first syllable.
