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

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 Grin

Zara Phillips springs to mind

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.

Mum2jenny · 13/05/2017 21:55

I think of the shop, sorry!

Wolfiefan · 13/05/2017 21:53

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

AmyOnTheBorder · 13/05/2017 21:53

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

Foxsox · 13/05/2017 21:52

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

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/05/2017 21:52

It's very nice OP.

Itsmekathy · 13/05/2017 21:51

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.

AutumnalLeaves38 · 13/05/2017 21:51

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 Smile

Made me think of Doctors. How sad am I Shock

Phillips.

It's a nice name Smile

donkey86 · 13/05/2017 21:48

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

CricketRuntAndRashers · 13/05/2017 21:48

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

But I would give her a middle name.

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