Zahra.

Zara's a shop which would put me off.

Amara

I like Zahra but prefer the spelling Zara. Amara is a beautiful name too and dont think you would go wrong with either of them :) good luck!

Amara

Amara.

Both are nice but I prefer Zahra.

Zahra. I like the spelling too Smile

Zahra, and I disagree that it's the same as Zara. It's a beautiful name. Amara has long vowels which sounds posh to my northern ears.

Please don't name your baby Zahra if she will live in the UK or anywhere in non Arabic speaking world as most people here can't pronounce the strngh in Zahra and end up calling her zara. The French wouldn't be able to pronounce both h andr as they should. Amara is easier to prounounce for everyone.
