Zara

[mogwai]

yes or no?

I did consider it for DD but in the end decided I couldn't name her after a clothes shop.
DH thought it was a sexy name.

Not a favourite of mine tbh

I went to school with one who was a bit horsey/jolly hockey sticks, but I still like the name. What about Sara, which is a bit softer?

Lovely. Yes.

I like it, it was one of the potential names I thought of when I was pregnant.

No-Sarah is much prettier.

It's lovely.
love the shop too!

Lovely

No.

I dont know any and moved from Surrey 1 year ago and didnt know any there either so I think cargirl is actually a bit unlucky in knowint that many. I think it is ok but I wouldnt say pretty its a bit to harsh for me to be pretty I think it is the Z sound for me that puts me off.. But if I am introduced to a Zara I dont think YUCK either..

DH and I loved it (was only oone we agreed on!) but we were nervous about the shop connotations and chickened out. What about Zahra/Sarah/Sarin/Zarin?

i'm a zara. i get a lot of "oh like the store" comments when people ask me what my name is. it's annoying but not too horrible.

it was on our list for DD but we went off it after she was born. DH really liked it though. it did remind me of Zara Philips. Having said that, she is one of the better members of the royal family, does seem to do something, even if it is horseriding (i digress).
i liked it because it seemed to have a meaning in both hebrew and arabic / persian (depending on which baby names book you read) which i thought was kind of uniting (pregnancy brain clearly in gear, as if the problems of the world would be solved by my baby naming!!!)
when we've mentioned that it was a name we were considering the older generation have not liked it and said it was 'harsh'
