It's my name, I'm a Sara as in Sarah but without the h. i love that it's spelt without the h.

There was a little girl in the park recently and her mum called out 'sara' and I thought, oh how lovely to hear that name again on a young girl.

Thanks

Hi, not sure - might be Greek - saw it on "Home and Away" years ago - the actress who played Sophie was called Rebekah Elmagloglu or something in real life, and I think she was of Greek background!

Well, a Sara may have to always say "without an H" but as a Sarah I can say that I have always had to say "yes...with an H"....and it is surprising how many people can't spell it. Go for it!

Yep I also have to keep saying 'Sarah with an h'. I love both names though. If I wasn't called Sarah then I would have used it for dd. Hated it as a kid as there were 9,999 of them in my class alone, but love it now.

Sara's lovely though, although it looks unfinished to me. It needs an h...
