Zara

[kmini]

Thoughts on Zara? Would be a sibling for Tessa and Thomas. Just not sure I can get past the whole store name connotation. Thoughts are appreciated!

Love it. Love your other children's names too, and think it would fit very well with them.

Lovely!

Saw this and had to comment because my name actually is Zara.

From years of experience introducing myself to people I can tell you that the general consensus is that people think its 'really pretty'. I often go by a nickname and have had a lot of people tell me I shouldn't because my first name is so beautiful and its such a shame I don't use it more (not really their business but that's another issue altogether).

Some people make the connection with the royal, nobody has ever brought up the store. Though a couple of friends have brought me shopping bags from the store after shopping their themselves, because apparently they think I would appreciate a bag with my name on it?

So yeah lots and lots of people go on about how pretty they think it is, so I'm sure you'll receive a positive response if you go with it. Personally I don't like the name, but my opinion seems to be very much in the minority and people get uppity at me when I say that.
Hope this helps!
