Do you think this is a nice name?

Lovely name.

DoTheNextRightThing · 20/12/2020 22:26

I also think of Farrah from Teen Mom Blush I think it's a lovely name but I can't separate it from her and she really is the worst.

SionnachRua · 20/12/2020 22:25

Beautiful name.

Blushingm · 20/12/2020 21:23

I like it, I like Fallon too

Orphlids · 20/12/2020 20:46

I really like it. My great uncle, who was incredibly posh and good fun was named Farrah. But I think it’s a beautiful name for a girl too. I agree with a PP - it’s a cool girl name. Don’t worry about the Teen Mom thing, because whatever that is, I suspect it’s not something that people will still be talking about in ten year’s time.

Lovely sound and fairly unusual whilst still being well heard of. She may be have to spell it sometimes, and some people may think it's a touch dated (as they think of Fawcett), but it's a nice choice imo.

GlacindaTheTroll · 20/12/2020 09:57

Farrah Fawcett - 70s association in a good sort of way.

And Amy Farrah Fowler (TBBT) - also good

VenusClapTrap · 20/12/2020 09:55

I think it’s lovely.

chubbyhotchoc · 20/12/2020 09:12

I like it

OhNoGroken · 20/12/2020 03:24

Great choice!

August20 · 20/12/2020 03:15

Makes me think Amy Farrah Fowler Grin

Nothing wrong with the name, it wouldn't be on my list but it's perfectly fine.

CremeEggThief · 20/12/2020 00:24

Nice name. Only know one in real life.

Aquamarine1029 · 20/12/2020 00:23

Love it.

Enough4me · 20/12/2020 00:20

It isn't made up and I like it, think it's pretty.

ChristmasBubble · 19/12/2020 23:49

Fara Williams played football for England. I like it.

scrivette · 19/12/2020 23:39

It is my nieces middle name, it's nice to have an unusual name.

Quads4x4 · 19/12/2020 23:38

I dont like it at all.

grapewine · 19/12/2020 23:38

I think of the teen mom too so wouldn't use it for that reason. But it's a pretty enough name.

CherryBlossomTree7 · 19/12/2020 23:37

No, sorry.

What about Zara?

Nell96 · 19/12/2020 23:35

It's ok, not my favourite - I think because it sounds quite 70s to me, due to Farah Fawcett. I know one too, in her mid-late 40s I'd guess, so it feels like a slightly older name. How about:

Freya
Faye
Zara
Zahara
Yara
Norah
Thea

FestiveDigestives · 19/12/2020 22:57

I think it’s really lovely. A cool girl name.

DramaAlpaca · 19/12/2020 22:53

My first association is Farrah Fawcett.

I know a Farrah in her 20s, she's cool and lovely.

It's not a fussy or frilly name and that's in its favour.

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 18/12/2020 19:25

I know a Farrah (young teen). It’s ok, unusual, almost androgynous which is probably quite fashionable atm.

JemimaTiggywinkle · 18/12/2020 19:22

I really don’t like it

Chilldonaldchill · 13/12/2020 22:33

I know a few, all of whom are in their 30s and of Indian origin. They're all lovely so it's a positive name for me. I think most spell it Farah though and pronounce it FARer rather than FA rer. I prefer the ah sound to the a sound.
