I love the name but bothers me that everyone shops at Zara, including myself!
Do people like the name and would you be put off by the shop name?

Hate the shop (mainly because my massive boobs won't fit in anything!), love the name.

I also like the name and didn't think of the shop.

I like it.

Zara says Princess Anne's daughter to me. I've never met anyone called Zara.

I'm not really aware of the shop. Don't think there is one near me.

The shop wouldn't put me off, I should have added.

The shop wouldn't put me off at all. Zara is a nice name. If you'd said Lakeland or Paperchase, maybe a gentle nudge towards more mainstream names. I have a friend with a dd Zara (half-Iraqi).

I thought of Zara Phillips!

I like the name and the shop doesn't put me off, but when I mentioned it my friend said oh no you can't use that, because of the shop!

reuset · 22/07/2015 23:24

I do like the name. The shop, not so much.

Haha I also have that trouble Margo.
But would it put you off naming your girl Zara?

I like the name. I didn't think of the shop when I saw your thread title.

MargoReadbetter · 22/07/2015 23:22

I too like the name. I think I should like the shop but nothing ever fits me from there. I'm an average shape and size.

I really like the name, but dislike the shop!
