just wondered what people thought of when they hear the name Zara. Nice and pretty, or a bit harsh?

Makes me think of the clothing chain, tbh.

McDreamy · 22/02/2011 22:27

I like it.

baskingseals · 22/02/2011 22:27

It makes me think of a transexual lapdancer

It's different without being too way out there. It's pretty, would fit a small child as well as a grown up. It's not too common popular! Can't think of any other reasons, I just like it Smile

yes.
we nearly called DD it.

Showjumpers with inherited wealth and a collection of china cats (not seen other thread either, oh no) :o

Actually I like it a lot.

I think it's a lovely name, very pretty.

Zara Phillips seems to suit it well.

Rhubarbgarden · 23/02/2011 13:16

I like it.

5DollarShake · 23/02/2011 13:18

I like it. Much prefer it to Sara or Zoe (i.e. similar-ish names).

zozzle · 23/02/2011 13:48

Much prefer Zoe due to it's ancient history, meaning and lack of an "a" ending!!

tummytickler · 23/02/2011 13:52

Do not like it - sorry. It makes me think of the shop too, and I just cannot get past that.

Suzeyshoes · 23/02/2011 13:54

I like it. My friend is called Zahra, so less like the retailer.

MollysChambers · 23/02/2011 13:56

I like it.

flower38 · 23/02/2011 14:43

I really like it and only ever met one.

Their trousers are always too long on me.
