I like [name_f]Zara[/name_f] a lot. I’m in the UK and know a [name_f]Zara[/name_f], plus there’s [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_m]Phillips[/name_m] and the clothes shop, and I’ve only ever heard it pronounced with a long a, to rhyme with car. I’d expect the air pronunciation to be spelled [name_f]Zaira[/name_f] or [name_f]Zahra[/name_f].
Southern English accent pronunciation of [name_f]Zara[/name_f]:
I like it, but prefer [name_f]Zorah[/name_f], [name_f]Zora[/name_f] or [name_u]Zola[/name_u], maybe you will like hose as well?
[name_f]Zara[/name_f] is on my list, because its just that little different but its got that spark. I met a [name_f]Zarah[/name_f] once, I was so excited!
I like [name_f]Zara[/name_f], especially the way it manages to seem modern and classic at the same time, a bit like [name_f]Farrah[/name_f].
Having said that I probably wouldn’t use it because to me it’s associated with the [name_f]Queen[/name_f]'s granddaughter [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_m]Philips[/name_m] and DH and I are not really royalists.
Those all sound very fanstasy-esque to me.
