Lara or Larissa?

[boodleboot]

which do you prefer? Which middle names would suit?

Lara

I once knew of a Larissa, silly little madam she was, so that is out for me! (sorry)

Lara Jane (or Jayne)
Lara May

I prefer Lara although you could call her Larissa and give her Lara as a nn!

Plus you'll probably find a lot more middle names that will go with Larissa.

I know a Larissa, she is lovely

Lara always reminds me of Lara Croft, Tomb Raider.

no idea about middle names though, was useless at choosing them for my own DC's

Larissa is my favourite

I'll vote Lara

Lara
Lara
Lara

My friend Lara wishes she had been called Larissa, with Lara for short.

Lara. Or preferably Clara. Lara (and indeed Larissa) sound like you've missed the 'C' off the beginning.

Prefer Laura to Lara.
And prefer Karissa to Larissa!

But that's not what you asked is it??!

Lara is really nice.

Larissa is to fiddly for me.

I love the name Clara and Lara is so much nicer than Larissa.

I have a Lara Elizabeth, but I wanted a Beatrice!

definitely Lara - I was Larissa on my birth cert and never used it and changed it to Lara by deed poll a few years ago

I know a Lara and a Larissa. Lara is okay, not really someone I'd be genuine friends with, a bit fake nicey-nicey, and is engaged to a buffoon. Larissa is lovely - very pretty indeed, the nicest, sunniest person you could wish to meet (without being sick-making), and also very bright (a City lawyer, I used to work with her). On that basis I vote for Larissa. Her middle name is Heidi

Lara, definitely.

Lara

Cara is nice too

and Lyra

i prefer Lara

Who was the one in Dr Zhivago?

Much prefer LAra

Lara in Zhivago

Lara is lovely.

Larissa is overly fussy and flowery.

I think it was Larissa in Dr Zhivago but she was always called Lara as a nn.

I was going to say Lara but now loobylu mentions Dr Zhivago I'll agree with Larissa and Lara as a nn.

Lara reminds me of a lovely spot in Wicklow, Ireland, near Glendalough (Laragh).

I have a Lara. I was worried about the Tomb Raider connection, but only one person made the link. Everyone else said "Dr Zhivago? How lovely".
