It makes me think of "Sayonara" for some reason. I'm just not sure about it. It's the first time I've heard that name.

It makes me think of sonar. I prefer the Cornish name Senara.

I've not heard of the name but it made me think of Samara from The Ring Confused then the word Sonar (the latter obviously isnt scary)

I know an adult Sonara. She's very cool and her name suits her.

I'm not a fan. It sounds like a medicine to me, maybe one for insomnia.

Your niece isn't a mumsnetter is she? I'm guessing she's going to recognise that you've posted about her name choice if she is on here...

I read it as sonar - a. It takes a bit of getting used to and unless it means something interesting in another language I wouldn't go there. It sounds awkward to the ear.

My first thought too was sayonara which isn't the best IMO.

Sounds like a brand of headphones or a medication for travel sickness or something.

It sounds like an anti-snoring aid/medication

I best mention she's not a mumsnetter and I think a MUCH prettier Irish name is the front runner. (MUCH looks wrong in capitals for some reason)

Sounds like a make of car. "The new Toyota Sonara, fuel efficient etc etc"

I also thought headphones or a contraceptive pill. Sorry, not my thing.

No verging on hating it., sounds like a made up name for medication.

There's a Senara I know, very pretty name and prefer < this spelling to Sonara
