My 3yo DDs 'best friend' is called Zara. Pretty name.

Dd2 who is nearly 4yo has a classmate named Zara, she is pretty and the name really suits her. She is the only one I know around here, although there was another at the same school a few years ago, but spelt Zahra.

As you say OP, it's unusual whilst being well known. A good choice Smile

I know a baby Zara, she's just turned 1 :) it's a lovely name.

Yea that's one of the reasons I fell in love with the name, it's so feminine too.

Yes princess is a good nickname! And yes I like how it's an easy name to pronounce and spell, but unusual in the sense that it doesn't seem very popular! also-congratulations! Those names sound lovely together Thanks

It's a beautiful name, or don't know any other little girls called it. I fell in love with the name when I found out its meaning was princess (I actually call her princess more than Zarah Grin )

I'm currently pregnant with a little boy who will be called Zak. I really like how they sound together

Thank you! Yes Zara Phillips is the only person I can think of with the name, I think it's lovely. Feminine and strong!

Fantastic name, I like it!

Don't know any little Zaras, but I think it would suit any age. Zara Phillips seems to have done just fine and the name suits her.
