Opinions on Zara?

I’m due my first baby in May and currently our favourite is Zara? Only thing that concerns me slightly is the shop association but I don’t think that will matter really.

Also, does anyone have any middle name suggestions? We’re leaning towards Zara Felicity but not 100%

The other name we like is Aurora but starting to feel that it might be too popular now as I have been seeing it a lot.

Zara is a beautiful name!
Zara Felicity sounds great.

Aurora is a very pretty name, too.

Beautiful name.


There are several Auroras at my DCs school but only 1 Zara.

Zara is lovely!
Aurora is a Disney princess and a mouthful to say.

Zara Felicity is beautiful. Less keen on Aurora by a long way.

Zara Felicity is a lovely combination

Zara is quite nice and quite popular - I guess Tara is a more unusual alternative

I am not mad on Aurora, but Allegra, Adela or Alicia might be alternatives

Zara is OK but I know a few of them. Prefer Sara or Zoe.
Felicity as a middle name is nice.

Aurora - just No. Awful.

I met a lovely young lady while we were both in beds next to each other in hospital ( she was early 30s) and called Zara.. we still whatsapp now and again.
It's a beautiful name.
She is stunning too..

I think it's a blend of different cultures though it has a distinctly Persian vibe to it. Very beautiful name.

Zara is beautiful. I'd consider it a timeless classic. Aurora is also really lovely but the only one I know is called after her Spanish great grandmother who came to London as a refugee during the civil war rather than the Disney princess so she has a story behind her name if that makes sense.

I might be biased as I have a Zara but I think it's timeless, works for all ages. Aurora might work for a young girl but will it work for a 50 year old woman? My Zara is also the only one I've ever met!
