Lara?

[babysoon1]

Do people like Lara?

I did but think its too closely linked to Lara Croft nowadays

I know a Lara and never think of Lara Croft but more of Doctor Zhivago [sp?] Lara's theme.

Love it! Very classic and underused. Also love Laura.

I like it.

Love it. Reminds me of Glendalough in Co. Wicklow, Ireland. The village of Laragh is nearby.

I know a Lara as well and I've never associated it with Lara Croft.

I really like the name as well, not too popular but not completely wacky.

I do like it ,but prefer Clara :)

Really love it, my top name. I don't think of Lara Croft but rather Dr. Zhivago.

IMO a fab name that everyone knows but is still underused, pretty but not frilly and complicated

I do. I also like Lauretta, Laurel, Lorelai and Laura.

Lovely.

Lovely name - agree Dr Zhivago rather than Lara Croft (is that my age??)

I dislike it, sounds common and frumpy.

I like it, sounds pretty and elegant to me. Larissa is nice too.

Lara in Dr. Zhivago is short for Larissa. I like it.

It's nice, easy to spell and pronounce and isn't too common.

I love the name Lara. I went to uni with a girl called Lara, and shes lovely, a very sporty girl (captain of hockey).

When I was first pregnant I loved long flouncy names. Five months on and I am now loving the short names which are easy to use in everyday life.

Love it. High up on my list if I ever have another dd. I went to look around a nursery this morning and was surprised to see three coat pegs with Lara on - more than any other name. Maybe it's a name on the up? Also heard one in the park this afternoon too four Lara's in one day!

It's very popular in Switzerland (as is anything beginning with L and ending with a!)

Love it! But I'm biased because one of my middle names is Larissa. Wish it was my first name...

Lara is lovely. It's my cousins name.

I like Lara, I know a lovely one. :)

Beautiful name

Really nice name. Wouldn't think of Lara Croft at all. That was just a flash in the pan and will be meaningless to the next generation.

Just a warning, although Lara is easy to spell, anyone called it will have to put up with being called different names and having to explain "it's L-A-R-A" then have people go "oh, like Dr. Zhivago!" their entire lives. My sister is called Lara, but she's been mistaken for Laura (so much she atually answers to it!), Clara, Zara, Kara ...
'Tis a lush name though

I knew a lovely one, too

Named after the film.
