Sarah

[WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant]

Does anybody know any young sarahs?

I'm pregnant and if it's a girl she going to be Sarah 😍

Lovely name, seems quite popular with British asians, I suppose it works will as an English and a Muslim name ( normally spelt Sara)

just one. shes in reception so 4/5

Sarah and Sara are completely different names!

I may have a vested interest in pointing this out.

Not necessarily, it depends whether you are pronouncing Sara as 'sah-ra' or the same as Sarah, both can be correct. Even pronounced differently, it is still the same name really with the same origin.

My Y3 son has two in his class, a Sarah and a Serra (African Muslim background, but pronounced the same). I also know of one a couple of years younger. It's my name too and I know plenty my age - late 30s!

I know a couple of Sarahs, both under the age of ten. It sounds fresh and unusual on them because it's uncommon nowadays.

I'd have been a Sarah if my cousin, who has the same surname, hadn't been born a few weeks before me and been given the name. My parents had to do a quick rethink. Shame. I'd have liked to have been a Sarah.

It's an enduring name. A nice, solid, go anywhere name. I don't know any under 35 but it's so much better than 'youneek' names.

I don't know any young Sarahs, but I'd definitely use it. Its a great name.
I knew some Sahras (Sara) when I was teaching, that's nice, too.

Loads of Sarah's in my year at school. I'm early thirties. The youngest Sarah I know is early twenties.

I work with kids and I can't recall any baby Sarahs, Sara and Zara quite frequently but mainly in children from an Asian background. Amongst people my age I know several, one of my uni friends was a Sarah and her 2 best friends were also Sarahs.

I know loads. All in their 40s.

I know two Sarahs and a Sara in the same year 5 class, so 9/10.

I know 3 under 1 year old my dd being 1 then two others younger than her.

I'm 28 and there were LOADS of Sarahs in my year at school (along with Katherine, Rebecca, Rachel and Claire). Haven't heard of anyone younger than 20 with that name and I think it's lovely. Go for it.

I am from NI and always find the references to loads of Sarahs in the 60s and 70s very weird. I was born in the mid-70s and didn't meet a single person of around my age called Sarah until I want to university in England (although it was my grandmother's name, so I did know someone with that name). I have often wondered if this is an Irish/Northern Irish thing, or if I just avoided Sarahs.

Anyway, it's a top 100 name in England & Wales, so there must be a few hundred baby Sarahs every year.

I only know one young Sarah.

I know lots of adult Sarah's.

I think it's a lovely name- I only know a couple of young ones, and think it's declining massively in use since the 70s/80s

It'll soon sound quite fresh among the Evies/Avas and Islas IMO (great names but oh so many!)

I know a 16yr old Sarah and a 14yr old Sarah.

I think it's a lovely name!
