Lovely, means "star" I think.

Not my cup of tea but pleasant enough x

It's not offensive but I don't personally like it.

I much prefer Lara.

lastnamefirstfirstnamelast · 27/02/2018 14:05

an overpriced clothes shop

IVflytrap · 27/02/2018 14:12

Classy. Recognisable without being massively popular.

Thanks all.
Grrr I forgot about the shop!!

Any suggestions, I have a son called Zain.
I have always loved the name Zara. Now am not so sure.

IVflytrap that's how I felt. Always thought it's a strong and beautiful name. Forgot about the shop name and wouldn't want her to be teased or grow up disliking her name.

I think it’s a beautiful name but I wouldn’t personally pair it with Zain.

Would love some suggestions! I love short names.

It’s fine. Not particularly remarkable. Everyone knows it because of Zara Phillips and the clothes shop.

It sounds a bit daft with Zain though.

Failingat40 · 27/02/2018 14:17

I like it.
I wouldn't let the shop name put you off.
Alternative could be Sara?
Or Zoe if you want to keep the Z theme?

ErinSophia · 27/02/2018 14:17

Zoe

BikeRunSki · 27/02/2018 14:18

Oh panicking now as got no other names.
Not fussy about the Z.
We got Sara in the family already

Other complication is we are Muslim so need a Muslim name!

What about Cora, Lyra, Lara, Tyra or Aria,

BikeRunSki · 27/02/2018 14:27

In that case Tara, Zara and Zain would really sound a bit silly.

Kim?

Tara is a cousin's name so not siblings.
And I agree it all does sound silly together Grin

Ooo I like Aria.

Laila is such a romantic name. I will be worried about her being teased by her cousins
