I heard this name recently and thought it was pretty. What does everyone think?

Sorry I don't like it. Sounds like an athlete's food cream to me.

fitforflight · 02/12/2023 12:19

It's a Japanese toy company, so I'm gunna go with no.

thefallen · 02/12/2023 12:19

Bad.

Mochudubh · 02/12/2023 12:19

Takara the Otter?

Also sounds like a Goa'uld name from Stargate.

TrumpetOfTheMatriarchy · 02/12/2023 12:21

terrible, sounds like some bad sci fi character

RachelGreensHair · 02/12/2023 12:24

No.

MrsSlocombesCat · 02/12/2023 12:26

My son had a friend called this. I always thought the name was odd and sounded like tachycardia.

DrMirandaBailey · 02/12/2023 12:27

I think it may be one of the whales in the Blackfish documentary?
I like it, though probably wouldn't be brave enough to use it

Aquamarine1029 · 02/12/2023 12:28

Godzilla's nemesis.

I know a woman called Tiakora. She is Māori. Never heard Takara.

theduchessofspork · 02/12/2023 12:29

I imagine a spicy sauce

It’s not an especially nice sound - tacky etc

DelilahJane · 02/12/2023 12:32

Is that the name of the foreign exchange student in Friends who was in the I hate Rachel Green club with Ross and Brad Pitt?

DelilahJane · 02/12/2023 12:33

Google confirms it is Ta-Taka Ki-Kek so not a million miles off.

PossumintheHouse · 02/12/2023 12:34

It sounds like a Japanese video game to me.

icallitasplodge · 02/12/2023 12:35

Tara with a stutter.

BoohooWoohoo · 02/12/2023 12:39

Means treasure in Japanese but not a human name there.
if you live in the UK then it might be hard to distinguish from The phrase ”Ta, Cara”

KirstenBlest · 02/12/2023 12:45

Tamara is nice

QueSyrahSyrah · 02/12/2023 12:46

The Takara Coffee girl from TikTok / Insta?

Dacadactyl · 02/12/2023 12:47

I thought of a curry when I heard it. Chicken Takara sprang to mind.

No that was Tilikum!

YouJustDoYou · 02/12/2023 13:00

Are you Japanese? Does the name have meaning for you, or is it just the sound? Have you chosen the kanji for it yet?

DiaNaranja · 02/12/2023 13:04

It's a toy brand. Takara Tomy. So that's all I think of

Scruffington · 02/12/2023 13:07

Sounds like the name of a female Thunder Cat

Sudename · 02/12/2023 13:17

Reminds me of Tarka the otter
