Middle name for Zara?

30 replies

Found out that DC2 is a little girl! We have a few names but Zara is our favourite at the moment. We're just struggling with a middle name to fit. Not that it's essential but I do like a middle name!

Any suggestions? Anything ending in the same "a" sound just doesn't feel right but maybe it's just me! Smile

I think most names will go with Zara, depends how well it scans with your surname. How many syllables does your surname have?

youarenotkiddingme · 18/08/2018 14:30

Zara Rose
Zara Grace
Zara May
Zara Beau

For me the 'a' sound in the name leads to saying single syllable middle names as they have a nice ring

Like dada da 😂

Or longer sounding vowel endings like Louise (eees).

Zara Louise
Zara Elaine
Zara Raine (rainy)
Zara Edee

Elizabeth jumps out at me..

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 18/08/2018 15:59

I wouldn't go for a vowel starting name.

Juliet sounds nice to me.

Zara Louise flows well. Or Zara Elise.

Zara Elizabeth is my fave, I think the double Z seems to go really well together

Ooh there's some lovely suggestions on here!

I do like Zara Louise and she'll have the same middle name as her mom haha!

Rose, Elise and Elizabeth are stunning too, we have an amazing list to pick from so thank you all so much!

The surname is Wright Smile

I really like Zara Louise but Louise is her sister's middle name.

RavenWings · 18/08/2018 18:34

I wouldn't do Rose, Rose is a very filler middle name. Go for something less generic.

Zara Louise and Zara Elizabeth are nice. Zara Kate?
