Lara. Although I prefer Lana

Zara makes me this shop and royal family

Zara

Zara.
Lara always looks unfinished to me like it's missing the C off the front.

Flutterflybutterby · 26/01/2022 14:56

Zara for sure

Oh they both sound so gorgeous with an Irish accent! I don't think you can go wrong OP. You'll know when you look at her :)

@DramaAlpaca

Zara. It's stronger sounding. Lara is pretty and soft. Like both though.
I would have said the opposite strangely! Lara Croft is a badass

@thisplaceisweird either would go fine with her surname.

Really trying to avoid very popular names so open to other suggestions too. I am in Ireland and had Fiadh on my list as number 1 but am now being put off due to its popularity

Both are nice but I slightly prefer Lara.

Firebird83 · 26/01/2022 14:48

Lara but both are lovely

BasiliskFace · 26/01/2022 14:46

Lara one hundred per cent

PattyPan · 26/01/2022 14:43

Zara for sure. It’s a bit more interesting. I’ve never really liked Lara for some reason.

KimchiJjigae · 26/01/2022 14:42

Zara definitely. Well known name but not that many in this age group. I suppose that's true for both names.

Pinchofnom · 26/01/2022 14:42

Lara. Lovely name.

thisplaceisweird · 26/01/2022 14:41

I think both are very pretty. Which sounds nicer with her surname?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/01/2022 14:39

Zara

BaruFisher · 26/01/2022 14:39

Lara definitely. Zara makes me think of the shop.
