Elara, Alara, Elaria or Zahara

[tiffany2307]

What are people’s thoughts? Elder siblings are Rafael and Sofia. Please just say what you prefer not if you hate one of them! Elara, Alara and Elaria names would probably use Lara as a nickname (but we wanted to use a longer form version for the name register)

Aria (sorry, biased as it's my eldest's name)

I think I'd go with Zahara. I actually like the sound of Elara and Alara, but wonder if she'd have a lifetime of, "no, not Lara, AH-lara, A L A R A". Iyswim.

If Lara on its own was an option, I think that's the nicest option and goes well with Rafael and Sofia. It's a bit "safe" maybe, compared to Elaria etc, but so are Rafael and Sofia tbh.

I would go with just Lara (well, that’s actually exactly what I did!).!

Isn't Elaria one of the sand snakes from Game of thrones?

I like Zahara best from your list.

I much prefer just Lara, but of the names you have listed, I like Zahara.

Zahara, though I prefer Zara/Zarah/Zahra

Elara is lovely.

Just Lara imo.

But I am in a decluttering stage of life!

Of the longer names I prefer Zahara.

I know a couple of Alara’s - nice name.

Like the others also but not keen on Zahara.

I know an Alara, named after the Sci Fi charactor. Still don't like the name

Elara. Love Lara as a nn.
What about Elaina and lainey for a nn?

Oh I love Elaina! I've never seen that before.

What about Elora?

Another vote for just Lara - or what about just Zara? Both go nicely with the siblings

My dh wanted to call our first dc Alaris (it was the brand name of the machine I was hooked up to!). Needless to say we didn’t use it but it kind of works as a name.

Just Lara , don't like the others sorry

previous poster is correct- Ellaria is a somewhat shady Game of Thrones character.

Elara is my favourite.
