Yes, if you don't mind the associations with Zara Phillips (dh thinks she's quite foxy posh totty so maybe not a bad association, depends on your viewpoint)

oh really cargirl? What sort of area are you in?

I work with children and I've never had a Zara on my books!

well Zara Phillips is rather a quality girl by all accounts.

I was at uni with a Zara and I've liked it since

I know one. She's 3. But I'm in the US.

lljkk · 07/01/2009 19:18

There's one in DS class (reception). Which makes it more common than Emily, around here.

wombleprincess · 07/01/2009 19:47

nice but quite common these days

I know a Zara and her mother isn't totally sure it's the name they should have gone for ... Clothes shop connotations, popularity etc. In the end, though, you should choose the name you like and which feels right. Try it out for a bit, before and after birth. Sometimes a logical argument doesn't work and you just have to go with instinct when the baby is there.

rachels103 · 07/01/2009 19:56

First thought was the clothes shop, sorry. Quite like it as a name though.

cece · 07/01/2009 19:56

Cargirl - that is funny as I don't know any Zaras! and I only live down the road... Personally I prefer Sara to Zara. (sorry)

CarGirl · 07/01/2009 19:59

cece my friend used to take her to TG quite regularly so you've probably at least seen one - lol

cece · 07/01/2009 20:04

Ah you see I didn't know any of the girls really as DS doesn't talk to/of them! At least he didn't when he was at TG. He never got invited to any of the girl's partys.

Now he is in Reception he has just been invited to his second girl's party but I had never heard of this girl till the invite arrived.

Is your friend's DD the same age?! I can't believe I missed a Zara for a whole year! There weren't many girls there last year.

CarGirl · 07/01/2009 20:06

No my Zara often goes to collect friends dcs from TG and NHJ I will ask her if she knows any Zara's there, am curious now.

I can't even remember what I wanted to call her!

cece · 07/01/2009 20:20

I am going to ask around now to see if there are any!

Oh and sorry to hijack your thread! Zara is nice - go for it!

SAEJ · 07/01/2009 20:43

Zara, very nice. I know one born in July - seems to be on the up.

CityChickMarried2BushBaby · 07/01/2009 21:03

We had 2 friends use Zara within a couple of months of each other. Great name - pretty and punchy at the same time.

mamalovesmojitos · 07/01/2009 21:06

love it.
