Sarah

[Umbella]

Any thoughts on this name? I've always loved it but wondered whether people thought it seemed very plain. I'm also aware it was popular when I was young so might seem a bit old hat.

I’m biased, it’s my name and I love it! I’m late 40’s.

I like it. One of my best friends is Sarah 😁

I know a Sarah who goes by Sadie which I also love and another who goes by Rae which I'm less keen on but it shows there are nickname options too.

Never personally known anyone with that name funnily enough.
Had an acquaintance called 'Sara', but she wasn't overly nice so it may have put me off 🤔

Lovely 🥰

My gran was a Sarah, she passed away just before I had my daughter. So it felt right to call her Sarah, she’s 8 now. I think out of a primary school of 400 pupils, there is only my daughter and another girl called Sarah.

It's my name and I love it, but she will hear 'does that have a H' all her life.

I'm a 90's baby and a Sarah. There were I think about 4 or 5 Sarah's in my school.

I genuinely love my name. It's sorta worked at every stage of my life, and now as a professional woman, it looks great on a e-mail signature. No fuss, simple and classic.

Always able to get a keyring with my name on it too 🤣

Lovely

A classic

I don't get why some people find it plain or dull, but then I like classic names that everyone knows how to spell and will not sound dated in a few years.

Clara/Claire is another name I love for that same reason. Also Catherine. You just can't go wrong with a name like that.

Honestly — and my closest friend in the world is a Sarah (who says she was one of four in her class throughout primary, and lost count in her time at secondary) — I think you might as well call your child Generic Name.

It's my name and I love it, but she will hear 'does that have a H' all her life.

And I get the H missed off ALL THE TIME even when it is in front of someone responding to a bloody email that I have sent them ......

Very plain and I don't get all the 'refreshing' comments as it's never gone away, I seem to know so many Sarahs of all ages. There's always a Sarah hanging around.

I like Sarah, there were lots in my year in school but I haven't heard of any young Sarah's.
My son has someone called Alison in his class and I think it's lovely

I like the sound of the name but it does remind me of the Sarah/Emma/Claire names the 80s - where there were three in each class. I do think it’s a pretty name that works well for both a child or adult though.

I'm from a very long line of Sarahs (every generation for at least 250 years). It is my daughter's middle name (and my first). I found it dull as a child and longed for a name which could have lots of nicknames from it, but now I love it.
