Which 'ara' is your favourite?

I have [name]Zara[/name] on my list but like all of these too:

[name]Lara[/name]
[name]Cara[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Sara[/name]
[name]Mara[/name]

Which is your favourite and what style of middle name do you think works best with them?

Many thanks, [name]Lucy[/name]

[name]Cara[/name] and [name]Sara[/name] are my favorite. :slight_smile: There are a wide wide range of middle names that would work for both of them.

[name]Clara[/name] and [name]Sara[/name] are the only two that I like a lot. The rest are just ok for me. I like unusual but meaningful middle names.

I really like [name]Cara[/name] and [name]Sara[/name] (I prefer [name]Sara[/name] with the same pronunciation as [name]Sarah[/name] and not the one the rhymes with [name]Cara[/name]). I really like [name]Cara[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Sara[/name] [name]Bethany[/name].

[name]Do[/name] you pronounce all of these as though they rhyme? I pronounce [name]Sara[/name] and [name]Clara[/name] differently from the rest. [name]Cara[/name] could rhyme with [name]Sara[/name] or with [name]Zara[/name]. [name]Zara[/name] is definitely my favourite. It’s exotic yet familiar, quirky yet beautiful.
For middle names, I think you need either a one syllable or a long name. For example:
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]May[/name]
[name]Zara[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name]
:slight_smile:

[name]Mara[/name] and [name]Lara[/name] are my two favorites. I like [name]Dara[/name] ([name]Dara[/name] [name]Eden[/name]), but that isn’t on your list. All these rhyme, [name]Mar[/name]-ah, Lar-ah, Dar-ah.

[name]Mara[/name] [name]Aubrey[/name]
[name]Mara[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Mara[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Mara[/name] [name]Sage[/name]
[name]Mara[/name] [name]Tatum[/name]

[name]Lara[/name] [name]Delancey[/name]
[name]Lara[/name] [name]Esther[/name]
[name]Lara[/name] [name]Faith[/name]
[name]Lara[/name] [name]Jewel[/name]
[name]Lara[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Lara[/name] [name]Paige[/name]
[name]Lara[/name] [name]Sydney[/name]

I also really like [name]Maren[/name], but rhyming with [name]Karen[/name].

My favourites are [name]Zara[/name] and [name]Clara[/name].
Too bad [name]Zara[/name] is connected with the clothes shop around here, so only bold people might choose it… On the other hand, [name]Clara[/name] is the Portuguese and Spanish word for bright :slight_smile:

With [name]Zara[/name] I’d advise on long middlenames. With [name]Clara[/name], I don’t really know.

[name]Clara[/name] by far! I think she works best with longer middle names such as:

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Madeline[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]
etc.

[name]Mara[/name] and [name]Zara[/name] are my favorites, but I do like [name]Clara[/name] too.

Hmm I literally love them all!!
[name]Lara[/name] - very lyrical, sweet and spunky a great choice. My only concern is that would the name age well. I understand that [name]Lara[/name] isn’t a young modern name, but she does feel very hippy which is great but adds to my concern about her ageing well.
Middle names for [name]Lara[/name]:
[name]Lara[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Lara[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Lara[/name] [name]Marigold[/name]

[name]Cara[/name] - I like [name]Cara[/name] she’s wholesome, happy and cool. Yet she’s a little sharp-clipped I would prefer as a middle name. For instance [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Cara[/name].
First names for [name]Cara[/name]:
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Cara[/name]
[name]Annabeth[/name] [name]Cara[/name]
[name]Isabel[/name] [name]Cara[/name]

Middle names for [name]Cara[/name]:
[name]Cara[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
[name]Cara[/name] [name]Lauren[/name]
[name]Cara[/name] [name]Willow[/name]

[name]Clara[/name] - Delightful, elegant and spunky. [name]Clara[/name] is a gorgeous choice and my favourite from the list. Very pretty.
Middle names for [name]Clara[/name]:
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Delphine[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Rosalind[/name]

[name]Sara[/name] - I’ve never really liked this name. It seems to be lacking something.
Middle names for [name]Sara[/name]:
[name]Sara[/name] [name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Sara[/name] [name]Gabrielle[/name]
[name]Sara[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name]

[name]Mara[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Mara[/name] [name]Frances[/name]

[name]Ah[/name] I love [name]Zara[/name] too!

I like [name]Lara[/name] and [name]Zara[/name].

[name]Love[/name] [name]Zara[/name]! It’s by far my favorite. I also really like [name]Cara[/name], [name]Clara[/name], [name]Adara[/name], Megara, [name]Sara/name, and, if it counts, [name]Arabella[/name]. :slight_smile:

I like [name]Clara[/name]. It’s classic but unexpected. [name]Clara[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] is beautiful.

[name]Clara[/name] is the only one I like.

My favorites would be [name]Mara[/name] and [name]Sara[/name].

[name]Clara[/name] is my favourite. I quite like [name]Mara[/name] too. [name]Don[/name]'t know where you’re from or how you’re pronouncing them OP but over here we say them all to rhyme with [name]Zara[/name].

[name]Clara[/name] is my favourite too - I also love [name]Tamara[/name] if that is your style? Something like [name]Clara[/name] [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Clara[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] or anything long and classic-y in the middle really. Good luck!

I love [name]Zara[/name]. It seems classic but spunky. [name]Clara[/name] would be next.

I like [name]Clara[/name] the best.

My second choice would be [name]Sara[/name].

I’m guessing your pronouncing them all arrr-uh at the end, because [name]Sara[/name] could be pronounced sair-uh and [name]Clara[/name] could be pronounced clair-uh.

I like [name]Lara[/name], I believe this is because when I was younger I’d pretend to be [name]Lara[/name] Croft :wink: If you are pronouncing [name]Clara[/name] like [name]Clare[/name] with an uh sound at the end, I also like that but my favourite would have to be [name]Zara[/name]. (where I live the shop reference wouldnt be a big deal.)
