I prefer Lara because of the shop but still like Zara.
I love Lana though.

Because of Dr Zhivago!

Both equal. Zara makes me think of Zara Philips.

What do they mean?

Zara

Ah Zara was always my picked name for a girl and I would have used it no matter what :) (have 2 boys). Lara is also lovely and so cool.
If youre in Ireland isn’t the Irish thing to spell it Laragh? Just an option.

Zara. It's a sparkly sort of name and royal to boot. The shop is irrelevant. Lara just reminds me of Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft.

Santahasjoinedww · 26/01/2022 15:58

We had Zara and Willow in our list.

Had a ds!!

JustMaggie · 26/01/2022 15:57

Lara for sure

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 26/01/2022 15:54

Zara. I've always liked names that begin with Z. No idea why.

@Justkeeppedaling Cara is a lovely name but is quite popular where I am and we have one in the family already

Both lovely but Lara edges it for me. It was on my list for DD but DP wasn't keen!

Justkeeppedaling · 26/01/2022 15:47

I prefer Cara, but otherwise Zara

LouLouLou37 · 26/01/2022 15:44

Zara

Whatwouldnanado · 26/01/2022 15:39

Lara. (Laura is lovely too)

Synchrony · 26/01/2022 15:35
