Do you think this is a nice name?

Lovely, unusual, but not too unusual.

DappledOliveGroves · 13/12/2020 22:25

I think of Farrah from Teen Mom, sorry

diddlediddle · 13/12/2020 22:26

Don't mind it. Not the prettiest of names but nothing against it.

heyjude12 · 13/12/2020 22:27

No. Not at all bad trousers and mean teen mom

missmouse101 · 13/12/2020 22:27

I like it.

Yawningyawning · 13/12/2020 22:28

Yep back door teen mom

EbbaDay · 13/12/2020 22:30

Love it!

Farrah Fawcett - sactress who was huge pin up in the 70s (original Charlie's Angel). But guess I'm showing my age.

I know a few, all of whom are in their 30s and of Indian origin. They're all lovely so it's a positive name for me. I think most spell it Farah though and pronounce it FARer rather than FA rer. I prefer the ah sound to the a sound.

JemimaTiggywinkle · 18/12/2020 19:22

I really don’t like it

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 18/12/2020 19:25

I know a Farrah (young teen). It’s ok, unusual, almost androgynous which is probably quite fashionable atm.

DramaAlpaca · 19/12/2020 22:53

My first association is Farrah Fawcett.

I know a Farrah in her 20s, she's cool and lovely.

It's not a fussy or frilly name and that's in its favour.

FestiveDigestives · 19/12/2020 22:57

I think it’s really lovely. A cool girl name.

Nell96 · 19/12/2020 23:35

It's ok, not my favourite - I think because it sounds quite 70s to me, due to Farah Fawcett. I know one too, in her mid-late 40s I'd guess, so it feels like a slightly older name. How about:

Freya
Faye
Zara
Zahara
Yara
Norah
Thea

CherryBlossomTree7 · 19/12/2020 23:37

No, sorry.

What about Zara?

grapewine · 19/12/2020 23:38

I think of the teen mom too so wouldn't use it for that reason. But it's a pretty enough name.

Quads4x4 · 19/12/2020 23:38

I dont like it at all.

scrivette · 19/12/2020 23:39

It is my nieces middle name, it's nice to have an unusual name.

ChristmasBubble · 19/12/2020 23:49

Fara Williams played football for England. I like it.

Enough4me · 20/12/2020 00:20

It isn't made up and I like it, think it's pretty.

Aquamarine1029 · 20/12/2020 00:23

Love it.

CremeEggThief · 20/12/2020 00:24

Nice name. Only know one in real life.

August20 · 20/12/2020 03:15

Makes me think Amy Farrah Fowler Grin

Nothing wrong with the name, it wouldn't be on my list but it's perfectly fine.

OhNoGroken · 20/12/2020 03:24

Great choice!

chubbyhotchoc · 20/12/2020 09:12

I like it
