Zara - chavvy or classy

Keep changing my mind and DH loves it.

And I'm kind of keen on 'Faith' as a middle name. But Zara Faith keeps making me think Clothes Shop - Shoe Shop

What do you think?

classy.

Its a nice name and at lest it is a nice shop. Sounds better than primark,

My Dad asked me the other day whether Zara (the clothes shop) was owned by Zara Phillips.

Made me laugh.

I do love Lara though. It avoids both associations and would work well with Faith.

Definitely not chavvy.

Zara Mia (could sound a bit too like Cara Mia, which is what Gomez Addams nicknames Morticia... but don't let that put you off. :) )

Zara Maria

We have a new little girl - Zara and our surname is the same as yours -we have had lots of compliments about the name. We went for Rose as middle name -hope is lovely with it.

Zara is lovely!

What about

Zara Catherine
Zara Beatrice

Also a bit royal I know, but they sound really good IMO!

We have a Zara at school, but it's spelt Tzara, we've got another one coming up called Zarah (I think, there's a H in there somewhere)

I adore Zara, it is beautiful. :)

One of my favourite names ever. Almost went for Zara Naomi for our dh1. You might get away with Zara Faith if people don't think about it too deeply - worth thinking what your friends are like - do they shop a lot?!

Zara Verity?[truth]
I like Zara

muminthemiddle · 25/08/2011 10:32

I think Zara is a great name. Not chavvy. I would go with Zara Hope.

kitya · 25/08/2011 10:40

Zara is so not chavvy!! honestly, you lot, you sound just abit snobby!! I know too Zaras one is Arabic which I assume is where it comes from (I could be wrong) and the other is Spanish (born way before the shop) I havent seen it around that much recently. I really like it. Sarah is much more popular. Is Sarah chavvy in your books then? because theres not much difference in it is there really?

kitya · 25/08/2011 10:40

that would be two not too.
