Perfect x

Inoffensive. I prefer Lana and Lyra of the cluster of L names that's around.

Iliria · 18/01/2013 17:44

Love the name - my 2 month old daughter is Lara :)

JambalayaCodfishPie · 08/01/2013 22:18

Love it. Have loved it since there was a Lara in Casualty. Grin Unfortunately it doesn't really go with our surname. Hmm

Would have been my DDs name if I hadn't only had boys. Really really like it.

Fabulous name

zenoushka · 08/01/2013 22:10

Lara is a beautiful name!

I have a Lara. It's surprisingly uncommon. I think we've met two other Lara's, one a few years older and one a few years younger.

Onezerozero · 07/01/2013 09:20

It's beautiful.

REALLY like it!

wigglesrock · 07/01/2013 08:54

Its really lovely, I have 3 daughters and I flirted with Lara for each of them. In the end I didn't choose it, but my dd1 goes to school with a Lara and its gorgeous when she says it.

MysteryCat · 07/01/2013 08:50

I love Lara - pretty without being overly flowery.

MrsLatcher · 07/01/2013 07:34

Absolutely beautiful name.

HDee · 07/01/2013 07:29

I love it. I know a Lara who is lovely and confident and friendly which helps (she's very loud too, but I can forgive her that)

chickabilla · 07/01/2013 07:26

Love it, want this for my baby but too close to Laura, which would cause upset!

DessieLou · 07/01/2013 02:35

Lovely! I also like elara/alara. :-)

I like it too -- but Larissa is the full form in Russian, not the diminutive.

Rhubarbgarden · 06/01/2013 21:17

Beautiful.

Alisvolatpropiis · 06/01/2013 19:59

Lovely name!

Yika · 06/01/2013 19:58
