Talk to me about Zari/ Sari

Girl Names
1

Please share you thoughts, good bad and other on the names [name_f]Sari[/name_f] and Zari.

Its one I keep returning too (can’t decide if I like the Z or S version better), even though I know my sister (vet nurse) will tell me it’s a dog name, even though I wonder if it’s a bit… Trendy?

I like its links to [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]/ [name_f]Sara[/name_f] (both my mum and my own mn is [name_f]Sara[/name_f])
Hubby likes [name_f]Zara[/name_f] but it’s lost its shine for me a bit, and I like the contrast in sound the ee ending has with [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] (my 1yr old)
I like that it sounds sort of twinkly and, well, starry… My 12 year old self who would of named a child [name_f]Starr[/name_f], [name_f]Starla[/name_f] or (bless her) Starfire is very pleased by this!

So please share your thoughts. You can be brutal. I’m considering using this on a real life child so I need whatever impressions you have.

Thanks in advance.

I like them both. But [name_f]Sari[/name_f] reminds me of a garment. Isn’t an [name_f]Indian[/name_f] dress called a [name_f]Sari[/name_f]? Also… I can hear kids saying [name_f]Sari[/name_f] Safari. I like Zari more but prefer [name_f]Zara[/name_f] or [name_f]Zarah[/name_f]. Btw… I love [name_f]Starla[/name_f] :slight_smile: although I haven’t been 12 in a long long time!

I know a [name_f]Sari[/name_f] here in Finland, it’s a lovely name, familiar but different. Zari feels a bit silly for some reason, not sure why.

I prefer [name_f]Zara[/name_f], I just think it’s so beautiful. When it loses its shine for me i just say it a few times in my head and i fall back in love with it. Some other Z names I like: [name_f]Zora[/name_f], [name_u]Zola[/name_u], [name_f]Zetta[/name_f], [name_f]Zadie[/name_f], [name_u]Zuri[/name_u]…maybe [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] or [name_u]Zuri[/name_u] would go well?

Thanks for your replys. Hmmm maybe [name_f]Zara[/name_f] will regain her shine before this baby arrives.
I do like [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] but there’s a song about [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] the cleaning lady and that puts DH off… Back to the drawing board…

Maybe you’d like [name_f]Sarai[/name_f] (suh-rye)? You’d still get the contrasting sound with [name_f]Ayla[/name_f], and the link to [name_f]Sarah[/name_f].
