Hi what do people think of these 2 names? Am drawn to the Irish connection with cara but think that Lara has a softer sound. Thanks!

I prefer Cara (a good Latin name, and pretty). But both are nice.

I was also going to suggest Ciara for an Irish-related and similar name - v pretty Smile

Cara is very pretty. Carla is another option.

I like both. But I prefer Lana to both of them.

Interesting thanks I will add Ciara to the list

Lara, but I am biased. 😃

Cara

Lara.

But I like Cara as well.

Carla!
Cara is too hard and makes me think of cars. Lara is too soft and wishy-washy. Clara is nice but a bit prim (think I've got that from Heidi). Carla has the strength of the C followed by the softness of the L.
Now, go forth, ignore me, and do as you wish 😉

I love Lara but Cara is a bit mousy and dowdy, IMO.

Surf25 · 25/05/2016 20:59

Of the two, definitely prefer Cara.
What about Cora?

manicinsomniac · 26/05/2016 08:41

I prefer Lara but both are lovely.

Also love Zara and Mara. For some weird reason I'm indifferent to Sara and Tara.

ABitAsleep · 26/05/2016 09:25

Both lovely, but would probably go for Cara, it's a bit softer sounding.

I also like Cora

Lara!

Cara

I think Ciara is so much nicer! However, out the 2 - Cara Smile
