Katherine vs Zara

[BlackberryandNettle]

Considering Katherine (tbka Katie) or Zara for a baby girl. Opinions please and any other suggestions appreciated! I also like Cleo or Sophie but dh doesn't. Really like Elsa but older sister is an Anna so that's out!

Zara

Zara.

I don't like the name Katherine, or its variants. And I'm really starting to hate Olivia.

Zara.

Apart from anything she will have to say “Katherine with a K yes and also an E in the middle”. And in some parts of the UK they don’t pronounce their Ts or their THs so she would be
Kaffrin or Kay-ee.

Zara has no complications.

I really like both

I've not done across either for toddlers or babies currently

Zara is lovely.

Zara Katherine is very nice.

Thanks everyone. It looks like Zara is the winner by a little way, agree it does have the advantage of having only one spelling. It's good to know bith the names are generally liked and not tons of them in every nursery.

I do like the nicknames Katie and Kate though still.... Undecided still but several weeks to go!

Katherine is amazing. Are you sure you want A-Z?

I agree with the others, Zara is much better imo.

Katherine is my favourite. Katherine with Zara as a mn would be wonderful.

Zara is really lovely

Totally outing myself here but love both names... my dd is Zara Kathryn. You have very good taste in names op!
