Does 'Zara' just remind you of the clothes shop?!

[Mariala]

My previous girls name shortlist had Zara as the favourite, almost certain I'm going with Zara now - mentioned to DM and immediately got 'what, like the clothes shop?'

Tbf she had her heart set on another name which I went off

thoughts?

[BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington]

Nice name, and my first thought isn't the clothes chain.

[CricketRuntAndRashers]

No, it really doesn't. Zara is awesome :)!

But I would give her a middle name.

[donkey86]

I'd think of Zara Phillips first, rather than the shop.

[EtonMessi]

Phillips.

It's a nice name

[BurnTheBlackSuit]

Made me think of Doctors. How sad am I

[AutumnalLeaves38]

Nope, I instantly think of the royal Zara (who's widely known to be a hard working, down-to-earth, kind-hearted, unassuming and likeable woman, so that's a very positive association with the name, IMO!).

Great name, OP

[Itsmekathy]

I would think of Zara Phillips. I have never bought anything in Zara the clothes shop in my life so wouldn't think of it.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

It's very nice OP.

[Foxsox]

I think of Zara Phillips
It's a good association and a lovely name

[AmyOnTheBorder]

I do think immediately of the shop. It's not really a bad association though.

[Wolfiefan]

Zara Phillips would be my first thought.
Really like the name.

[Mum2jenny]

I think of the shop, sorry!

[LongDivision]

I've known a little Zara for a few years now, and it had never crossed my mind that it was the same name as the shop. It's a cute name.

[buttercup54321]

Zara Phillips springs to mind

[ImGoingForATwix]

I always think Zara Phillips or the clothes shop. It's a nice name though.

[user1471456357]

I always think of the shop, sorry.

[EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard]

Lovely. I associate it with Zara Phillips too.

[the4muppets]

It's my sisters name so I automatically think of her.

[Sophronia]

No. it's a lovely name.

[NataliaOsipova]

I think Zara Phillips too.

[HeyRoly]

There's a Zara in my DD's class and I don't think of the clothes shop OR Zara Phillips

[NennyNooNoo]

I thought of Zara Phillips before the shop too.

[DramaAlpaca]

I think Zara Phillips. I'm old enough to remember when she was born, and how the Queen had to give permission for Princess Anne to use such an unusual (for a Royal back then) name.

Anyway, back to the name - it's lovely OP.

[BikeRunSki]

Zara is a fabulous name. If you use it, your baby will become the default "Zara" in your life.

[GuntyMcGee]

Makes me think of the horsey royal family member, but it is a beautiful name, not too infantile and cutest for an adult but also not overly old for a child either.
