Comments and insights on the name Zara

My name is Zara. I always loved my name growing up as I was always the only one in my class. It is pretty sounding but not too wacky! Although it still annoys me if people pronounce it with a S. "Im ZARA not SARA!" Lol. However, it is seemingly getting quite common now, Ive heard a lot more little girls with the name which would put me off now if I was naming my daughter it!

Personal experiences with the name Zara

I am names after the store called "ZARA" and when i was little that was one of my moms favorite store to get clothes from!
Most people on the first time they see me pronounce my name as "Sarah" but have the first letter sound like a "Z". Dont let other people make that mistake. It really gets annoying!
