Which one? I feel like Cara is easier to say than Clara and Zara, but maybe i am overthinkingHmm

Tara, Lara and Zara are pure 1980s, to my ears.

I'd as soon call my child Tiffany or Kimberley as Tara.

Cara was a bitch at my school so go for the other two. 😂

Liadain · 15/10/2017 10:20

Oh Tara is great as well! And I have taught two Zaras, a Cara and a Clara - but never a Tara.

Zara or Cara. Clara always sounds a bit dull and heavy to me. Meh on Lara. I like the Zahra variation more than Zara, though.

Really dislike Cara, and round here it seems to be given to only the top annoying girls.

Zara is nice, but it is a clothes shop..... Clara has class and distinction.

Lara

Cara

Zara is 20 places higher than Clara in the top 100 baby names list.

So it might be rare at your nursery hubbybubby but statistically you're more likely to meet a Zara than a Clara.

Zara

Cara. I’ve only met one cara in he mid 40’s and she was incredibly sweet and lovely.
Zara is a shop, Clara is a bit posh IMO.

Hate clara dead common in london under 2s
There 3 in the baby room of 10 (and 2 Margots)

Clara is the new Evie / Ava and used. By Eastern Europeans and Italians as well as English so popular amongst a lot of groups

Zara and Lara are nicer and rare

Cara

rachrach2 · 13/10/2017 23:33

I like Clara and Zara. Really dislike cara but that may because I went to school with a particularly obnoxious one and it has tainted the name!

RhinosDontEatOatcakes · 13/10/2017 23:29

Clara is such a pretty name.

Madeyemoodysmum · 13/10/2017 22:57

Clara

mum2be2boys · 13/10/2017 22:52

Really like both Cara and Zara, can't decide which I like best!

somethingmissing · 13/10/2017 22:50

Tara?

somethingmissing · 13/10/2017 22:43

Clara

millifiori · 13/10/2017 22:37

Clara, then Zara.

Not Cara.

Threeandabit · 13/10/2017 22:15

Zara

I really like the name Carrie too.

LovelyBranches · 13/10/2017 22:11

Cara or Zara. Both beautiful names and I am very close to two lovely people with these names. Cara is more trendy and Zara is more classic imo.

Ttbb · 13/10/2017 21:17

Clara

FindTheLightSwitchDarren · 13/10/2017 21:17

ByAllMeansMoveAtAGlacialPace · 13/10/2017 21:17
