What are thoughts on Cara?

Hi

We're thinking of the name Cara but I'm a bit paranoid about choosing a name from the wrong era. Do people think it's a 1970's name? Or it's never been common enough so it doesn't really have an era.

At the moment it's the only name we can both sort of agree on so thoughts much appreciated.

I have an aversion to the name as an old boss of mine was called Cara and was an absolute farking cow bitch from hell. I basically got pregnant so I could get out of her team!

But it's a lovely name - also Ciara

A girl at school was called Cara - I think it is very nice.
