Hi -simple question - if you heard the name Dara would you think it was a boy or girl? It may help if you said whether you were in the UK (I am). Thanks for your time x

I’ve heard both. I knew a female Dara personally but I do think of Dara O’Brien too.

rainbowthoughts · 29/04/2021 13:33

I know of both.

Daragh - an Irish man.

Dara - a Canadian woman.

I don't know of any young or local to me (Scotland) Daras

Mammymar · 29/04/2021 13:36

I've heard of both but I would lean towards it being more of a boys name and spelt Darragh.

Boy, UK (thinking of Dara O'Brien)

ThatWouldBeEnough · 29/04/2021 13:41

Initially I thought girl, but then remembered the only I “know” is a man!

Boy and as with others because of the comedian Dara O'Briain

Boy - England

Dara is a male (very wise) figure in the Bible.
