what do you think of the name sara for a girl ?

[BINAH]

It is mi dd's name and in my family no one likes it...

all the Sara's I know are either very clever
or were Sarah and took the H off

I like it.

Is it pronounced like Sarah or like Zara?

Pronounced like "Zara" but with an "S"? I love it. Can't believe, even if people don't like your DD's name, that they would tell you, so rude and insensitive. They obviously don't have very good taste anyway, Sara is both pretty and strong. Perfect. Allows your DD to be whatever she wants to be. Ignore them. Listen to MN. We're the wise ones.

thanks.

They wanted me to call her my sister's name...margarita....but i love sara/zara.....
My father even stopped talking to me for a mounth after I named my baby....

I think it's lovely!! Very "classy" sounding!

Tell your family it's nothing to do with them - my mother sneered at dd's middle name (Taylor) but I told her "that's what we've chosen, and we like it, so shut up".

I wanted Sarah or Sahara for dd - dp said no, but that's because he knew someone called Sarah once who he didn't like, so it would remind him of her if we picked it! And he thought she'd be called "Sandy" (as in desert!) by bullies if we called her Sahara...
Honestly, men......

How strange your father would do that????

Sara is a good name, a classic, nothing not to like

means princess i think. i love sarah, sara, zara

My mum used to work with a Sara, and I never met her, but, literally just because of her name, I always thought she sounded like one of those really sorted, classy, together kind of women.

you may promounce it either way...sara with an s is how my dp calls my dd because is the brazillian way and zara is the way i call her...

Binah, is your father's reaction a cultural thing (apologies if that seems tactless, but might address a couple of the other posts on here too)

I prefer Sarah
and possibly a Sara will have to say when giving name details:
you spell it withouth the H!

I like it, but I like Sarah more.

yes..all my family saw my marriage like a nightmare because my dh is brazilian and mixed race wich is completly stupid....so he decided that i should follow my sister's name because she is a model for him...it is a long story but, laugh if you want, they payed my first fiancee, brazillian again, to leave me, wich he did but could not make the same with my husband so...he decided to oppose to everything we did....

Sorry, just answering ladette....

how old is your dd?it doesnt matter what your family like-its your baby.
im one with an h-so i agree lovely name

Binah, no one will laugh. What does your husband think about the name?

I like it

My dd is 3 now...

my hisband loves it and we both agreed on the name..if we have anpther it would be rebecca...which they don't like either....

Then Binah, go with the names you and your DH prefer. I appreciate it will be hard for you if your family doesn't like it - but honestly, that is their problem. Maybe use Margarita as a second name?

Tis nowt to do with them Binah

I'm actually rather that they would express a negative opinion when your daughter is 3 years old! How rude!

perhaps...a second name would be fine but i agree with you..It is very rude still complaining after 3 years...My sister is having a girl now and she is having her name...margarita....lovely name but i still like sara best...

it's a very pretty name
