Lovely name

TRexTara · 28/07/2023 22:18

Beautiful name. Deep meaning and very Irish!

ModerationInEverything · 28/07/2023 22:19

Very pretty.

I really like it, assuming you are not based in the US? It tends to be pronounced “terra” in the US which is far less lovely.

It makes me want to say, ‘boom-di-ay’ but that might be my age.

I like it. I think of the High Kings of Tara. It has been used for boys.

I've known 3 Tara's and they were all lovely :-)

Tara24 · 28/07/2023 23:43

It's a good name 😃

PickledScrump · 28/07/2023 23:45

For me it’s very dated and I suppose what would be called down market.

I like all the -ara names: Cara, Mara, Sara, Zara, Tara, Lara, Dara, Farrah,

CuttedUpAvocadoPear · 29/07/2023 00:06

I like it. Very Irish.

UsingChangeofName · 29/07/2023 00:10

When I see it written down, I just read it as "Tara a bit" - which is how folk around here, say goodbye.

Then my next thought is ‘boom-di-ay’ too.

So, not for me.

CallieQ · 29/07/2023 00:17

Lovely

Mochacino · 29/07/2023 00:19

Cinnamongirlinthesand · 29/07/2023 00:31

Tara, name of the best little horse I've ever owned
