Opinion on Zara

How would you pronounce it? I like it because its a little different but don't want her to have to correct pronounciation and spelling of her name constantly.

Do you think it suits an adult as well as a child?

Do you think it goes well with the name Mason our son?

Re: Opinion on Zara

  • I pronounce it Czar-uh. I automatically think of the store with the same name, but that's not a terrible thing (kind of like Macy I suppose). 

  • I wouldn't be sure of pronounciation but would likely say Zare-ah bc I am Cara (Care-ah) and that's what I am used to, I do get Car-ah a lot and it really does not bother me to correct people, it's only annoying if they do it repeatedly, like my damn chemistry teacher.

  • I pronounce it like Z air uh, similar to Sarah.

    I like Zara paired with Mason.

    Eta: to put spaces where I can't have dashes.
  • I like it, but I wouldn't be sure if the pronunciation was zahr-uh or zare-uh.  I like both.

    I think it goes well with Mason, and I do think it's good for a child and an adult.

  • I love it.

    I would pronounce it ZAH-ra, but a lot of people are going to say ZAYR-a

    I think it ages well, and works for kids too

    I'm not too concerned about flow from kid to kid, so it would be fine with Mason IMO

    I would rhyme it with Sara.

  • I would pronounce it czar.uh like the store.

    Czaruh. People always mention the store but I've never heard of it before. I had a professor in college named Zara and she was a really awesome lady who did a lot with her life so I have a good association with it for an adult. It would be cute for a kid too. And unique and fun for a teenager. Needless to say, I really like it.

    There is a beautiful little girl in my DS's daycare room named Zara, pronounced Zah-ruh.  Because of her, I adore this name.

  • Thanks everyone, you're really helping me feel more confident in this as a potential choice for our baby. I was concerned that its too unusual and would be difficult for her to live with, and that it has a totally different sound/vibe than Mason.
