Zafira is a very popular UK family car.

Amira is nice.

TheImprobableGirl · 02/03/2016 22:26

Saara Seren is a little alliterative for my taste...

puckingfixies · 02/03/2016 22:27

Love Amira, Zafira is a model of car here.

KayJBee · 02/03/2016 22:28

Amira

Zafira is a Vauxhall car

Saara is nice but not with Seren

I love Seren!

moonface1978 · 02/03/2016 22:32

Sahira is a similar and lovely name that might work.

pinkmagic1 · 02/03/2016 22:32

Definitely Amira. Zafira just makes me think of the car, what about Zahara as an alternative?

Bogburglar99 · 02/03/2016 22:35

Amira nice. Agree maybe Zahara/ Zara/ Zahra would be similar to Saara but just soften the alliteration. Would the initials SS bother you at all?

BennyTheBall · 02/03/2016 22:36

I love Seren The others all sound like cars.

Dogadviceneeded · 02/03/2016 22:42

Amira

Botchit · 02/03/2016 22:42

Someone has beaten me to it, but at first glance I thought your post was about help with a car choice. Zara is lovely as suggested.

sonlypuppyfat · 02/03/2016 22:43

I loved my zafira it was diesel very economical and the extra seats were really useful

julfin · 02/03/2016 22:48

You have excellent taste in names, in my humble opinion!

I agree that Zahra would be a lovely option (with a pretty meaning albeit different from Saara). Saara is nice but doesn't sound right with Seren.

Amira also lovely and works well with Seren. Another nice meaning.

I've always loved Zafira/Zephyra (Greek alternative). Hadn't heard of the car (am I the only one?!)

Have you considered Safiya?

G1raffe · 02/03/2016 22:50

Its the ultimate "mum car" around here!

shutupandshop · 02/03/2016 22:50

Ameera is beautiful

sonlypuppyfat · 02/03/2016 22:50

Every other car is a zafira it's a people carrier.

Lottie2611 · 02/03/2016 22:54

I had no idea it was a car until I first mentioned I liked the name and someone pointed it out. I guess from the replies on here it is mainly though of as a car in the uk! Shame. I do like some of the alternatives that's been given....St DavidsSaara and Amira mean princess and seren means star and I love that idea even though probably it will be just me that notices that. It's a nice thought haha

Just checked and one of the meanings of Zahra is bright, shining, brilliant.

So if you like the meanings Zahra Seren would be a shining star Smile

Sophronia · 02/03/2016 23:35

How about Saira "sye-rah" or Zemfira?

tangerinesarenottheonlyfruit · 02/03/2016 23:59

Amira Seren is lovely.

Zahra Seren is great too.

ICJump · 03/03/2016 00:24

Love love the names. In fact our ds2 would have had one if them if he was a girl

joyfulworld · 03/03/2016 12:21

Amira Seren. Perfect! Smile

DontKillMyVibe · 03/03/2016 13:43

I prefer Seren as a first name. If I had to pick one of your options though it would be Amira

ABitAsleep · 03/03/2016 16:58

I like Amira best. I also like Amina (shortened to Mina)

magpie17 · 03/03/2016 19:55

What about Seren as a first name? I really like it. Amira is pretty too and my favourite of your choices. Samira is nice as well.

TurquoiseDress · 05/03/2016 04:34

Amira is the best one out of the three.

Zafira is a model of car well known in the UK.

Saara is just Sara with an extra 'a'?
