Zafira is a very popular UK family car.

Amira is nice.

Saara Seren is a little alliterative for my taste...

Sahira is a similar and lovely name that might work.

Definitely Amira. Zafira just makes me think of the car, what about Zahara as an alternative?

Amira nice. Agree maybe Zahara/ Zara/ Zahra would be similar to Saara but just soften the alliteration. Would the initials SS bother you at all?

Someone has beaten me to it, but at first glance I thought your post was about help with a car choice. Zara is lovely as suggested.

I loved my zafira it was diesel very economical and the extra seats were really useful

You have excellent taste in names, in my humble opinion!

I agree that Zahra would be a lovely option (with a pretty meaning albeit different from Saara). Saara is nice but doesn't sound right with Seren.

Amira also lovely and works well with Seren. Another nice meaning.

I've always loved Zafira/Zephyra (Greek alternative). Hadn't heard of the car (am I the only one?!)

Have you considered Safiya?

I had no idea it was a car until I first mentioned I liked the name and someone pointed it out. I guess from the replies on here it is mainly though of as a car in the uk! Shame. I do like some of the alternatives that's been given....St DavidsSaara and Amira mean princess and seren means star and I love that idea even though probably it will be just me that notices that. It's a nice thought haha

Just checked and one of the meanings of Zahra is bright, shining, brilliant.

So if you like the meanings Zahra Seren would be a shining star Smile

I like Amira best. I also like Amina (shortened to Mina)

What about Seren as a first name? I really like it. Amira is pretty too and my favourite of your choices. Samira is nice as well.

Amira is the best one out of the three.

Zafira is a model of car well known in the UK.

Saara is just Sara with an extra 'a'?
