Sarah

[123Dancewithme]

I think it has a really pretty sound. It’s classic, quite international and has a nice meaning, but is it too dated? Could you imagine it on a baby born in 2020?

It's just a bit dull

Sarah is a beautiful name. It's classic. My friend's 25 year old daughter has that name.

I think it’s lovely, and I agree with PP - it would be refreshing on a baby. I don’t think it’s dated at all. And it’s still in fairly common usage according to the stats, just dropped out of the top 100, but on a downward trajectory.

Oh I hate Sara but love Sarah. It's a gorgeous name.

It's one of the rare girls names that has always been in the top 100 names through the decades since 1900, so unlikely to sound dated. Elizabeth is also consistently in the top 100. I like Sarah.

It is classic; I don't really think it's dated; but I find it a bit dull, sorry.

A nice change from the seas of Emilys and Emmas around me.

Go for it!

Sarah only dropped out of the top 100 names in 2017 so I don't think it's crazily uncommon, I think it's a pretty, classic name.

I worked with an absolute nutter called Sarah, a scheming, underhand, frankly alarming individual. It will always colour my reaction to the name.

Sarah is such a good name, great meaning and underused in this generation.

Sarah is timeless and pretty.

I’m a Sarah. In the 70’s and 80’s it was a popular name. it’s Hebrew isn’t it?

I love it. And would be so refreshing in a sea full of Ava/Emma/Olivia/Evie/Gracie etc etc! A total classic. Don’t agree it’s similar to Angela, Janice etc. Definitely more in the Elizabeth/James/Anna style

Lovely name, bonus will always get a mug or keyring with it on 😂 no breakdown in a gift shop!

I think it’s lovely and it’s on my list incongruously surrounded by much wilder options 😂. There are a lot in my generation, but I think it’s just a lovely sound.

I think you’d be less likely to have another Sarah in the class right now than say an Ava Evie or Olivia.

Pretty and timeless.

But putting yourself in the position of the next generation, it might sound very uncool and mumsy as all their mates "uncool" mums, aunties dinner ladies are all called Sarah and Becky.

Not sure that's too much of a problem when the current trend is for granny/grandad names! The more old-fashioned the better, it seems.

And Sarah is lovely, OP! I know people of all ages, including small kids, called Sarah.
