Would you use Zara with the shop being so popular right now? I think it's a beautiful name, also have a soft spot for Lara

I think of the horseriding royal before the shop Smile

I don’t think of the shop, but I also have a soft spot for Lara… I think I’d go Lara Smile

Zara is really nice! Go for it.

I really like Zara. Lara looks like someone has spelt Laura wrong to me (I know they are pronounced differently)

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 27/07/2021 11:17

I don’t think shop at all,
Zara is far more popular than Lara though if that bothers you
Lovely name!

HonorHiding · 27/07/2021 11:54

I like both - and also Kara which I’ve loved since she was the cellist character in the Bond film The Living Daylights Smile

I dont think you should let the shop put you off at all. Lovely name.

MrsFin · 27/07/2021 12:59

I love all the "-ara" names:
Cara
Dara
Mara
Lara
Farah
Sara
Zara
Tara
(Have I missed any? Smile)

Sara, Cara and Zara are probably my favourites.

GaiaGirll · 27/07/2021 13:06

Lara, Zara and Farah are the tops for me! I had forgotten about Farah, that's lovely and underused

My fave of the lovely -ara names is Lara, as it somehow sounds more classic to me as well as having a romantic/poetic image too imo. 2nd fave is exotic Mara, 3rd pretty C/Kara. I do like Zara though, and it's popular enough that I don't think the shop matters at all.

Cbeebiesrehab · 27/07/2021 18:49

Zara is the shop for me. Really like the simplicity of Lara though…beautiful name!

Musmerian · 27/07/2021 18:53

Lara make me think of Dr Zhivago - a good association!

Musication · 27/07/2021 18:57

I love it, don't think of the shop.
I considered it for DC2 but turned out to be a boy!

SilverOtter · 27/07/2021 19:03

I love Zara, it's definitely on my list (although I don't think I'll be having any more childrenSad)

hopingforabrighterfuture2021 · 27/07/2021 19:11

Love it! It was on our list for a girl.

Roselilly36 · 27/07/2021 19:24

Zara is a lovely name, I also love Freya.

Tlollj · 27/07/2021 19:29

I like Zara not the shop. Princess Anne’s daughter.

SemperIdem · 28/07/2021 00:53

I have an ‘ara daughter, I do think all the names with that sound are lovely.

I don’t think the brands popularity makes Zara unusable at all.
