Zara is great, vivacious, strong and feminine. Faye is a bit meh.
Fingers crossed you meet your little one soon!

I like both these options. Although the shop association with Zara might put me off a bit personally.
Suggestions maybe Zoë, Nina, Cleo, Rosa, Iris or Cora? Good luck.

I love Zara always have done. It's one of my favourite names. A friend has named her baby Flora which is lovely but not to everyone's taste.

Raindrop02 · 21/11/2022 09:15

I like Zara - one of the names I wouldn't mind being called myself. Faye doesn't work for me being in Scotland, it means 'from', I'm fae Glasgow etc.

Mercurial123 · 21/11/2022 09:16

You could use the spelling Zarah if it reminds you of the shop.

OatFox · 21/11/2022 09:19

Zara is gorgeous.

Aria20 · 21/11/2022 09:32

Another vote for Zara. Lovely name.

Blossomandbee · 21/11/2022 09:40

I've never liked Faye, it's a dull grey name to me (sorry!)
I like Zara, Tara is also pretty. Names I think have a similar feel are: Zoe, Ianthe, Iona, Xanthe, May.

I like Zara. How about Fiona?

Nadal · 21/11/2022 09:56

Zara was my girls name but only had boys!! Love it

Ditto, even with the unnecessary’e’. And I have a beloved aunt Fay so don’t say it lightly.

Zara is such a beautiful name

QuiltedHippo · 21/11/2022 10:06

I don't know a single nice Zara so that puts me off! I think Faye is lovely, feels fairytale like and pretty but not weak.
Love some of @DotDotDotDotDot suggestions too
