what sort of person is "Lara"

[farmbelle]

just been reading thru some of the baby name threads - first time on this section of the board and its been really interesting to hear peoples differing opinions!

So I'm curious - what type of person comes to mind when you hear the name Lara?

Posh? Chavvy? Sweet? Strong? And do you like it as a name?

I know an adult Lara and a child Lara. Lovely name.

blonde hair, willowy, long limbs, artistic and cool. pretty without trying. sweet but a bit flaky :)

The one I know is very pretty, popular, kind, out going, intelligent

Male... A former West Indies cricketer, one of the best ever.

Female.... A former Miss Universe from India.

Lara Croft always. I like the name though.

A Tomb Raider.

Blonde, sophisticated and in their 30's- not a babies name imo

Only Lara I know is a serial MLMer so not a positive association for me! But if I separate the name from the person it’s quite nice, not one I’d use personally but not one I’d judge anyone else for using

Awesome and strong, love it - quite like Lana, Luella & Lyra too!

I'm American and have been watching the show Billions. The wife is named Lara. Shes a know-it-all and very self righteous. She's very confident so I guess that's a good thing. I prefer Lara to Laura. It's a pretty name. I like Lana more but that's a bit of a departure.

This name is just unusual enough that I would assume it to belong to someone quite creative and independent.

spikey name, I don't like it much.

I know two, one a teen & one an adult. Both very independent with their own style.

I know two Lara's and they are nothing like the ones described on here!
