I'm a Sara - Sara Louise pronounced Sarah - born early 70's. In my mind it has always been a really commmon name and i remember feeling jealous at 7 years old and my sister was born and was named Joanna. It is a Muslim name too as well as being a Hebrew name.

Oh Dear...I'm a January 1990 born Sarah Isabel...Equally bland when compared to people 10 years older or younger! Brilliant
I quite like being a Sarah, its quite anonymous, my three younger sisters all have very 'times reader-upper middle class-classical mythology/shakespearean etc so inevitably the product of public school parents' names, (Camilla, Titania and Allegra) so people always have a (not entirely accurate) preconception about them before they meet them, as a Sarah, I can be anyone, any race, religion, class or age.

Having said that I was placed on a table of Sarahs in my GCSE maths class...The teacher would just field a question to 'sarah' whilst avoiding eye contact with any of us...hmmm

I think Sarah Brown is a classic Sarah - smart, sensible, attractive, very English and quite Head Girl-ish. I would be happy to have a name which evoked this kind of woman.

Let's not forget the all time classic - Sarah Jane.

I love it and would have used it if I had a DD.It is timeless. Sarah Elizabeth, Sarah Louise and Sarah Katherine are all lovely.

I have a DD, 10Y, Sarah Katherine - we don't know any other children called Sarah (and she has been to 3 different schools). She loves the fact it means Princess. I like the fact that it is now uncommon, but somehow feels timeless and classless.

i'm a sarah and i can clearly vote a yes for it, in my secondary school i went to i was in a class full of sarahs and also across the year, however through college no sarah's and in have never worked with a sarah, so not always that popular.

But i love my name, and i love that my dad really wanted a sarah and he got one, and i am a princess to the bone

Probably less common north of the border. There are only 2 Sarahs at my DD's primary school.
