[Opinions] Re: Sara or Sarah?

Isn't this your name?
https://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/5493246Also, where do you live that you can't find Sarah on a keychain? I'm curious. Sara is Arabic to me, just like Mariam. Not completely, obviously, but if I saw a Sara on my daughter's class list I'd assume she was Muslim. In this area, ie North Dakota. In other areas I would not assume this.I prefer the Sara spelling as well. I was just thinking of Abramhaic names - Rebecca/Rivka, Sara/Sarah, Miriam/Mariam, etcThe poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese. G.K. Chesteron

I've known many Saras pronounced like Sarah who weren't Arabic.

Exactly, esp. in non English speaking countries like Spain or Portugal or Poland, etc. Silly to say it's just Arabic.

I know. Around here Sarah is the common spelling, if I saw Sara I would suspect it was Arabic. I wouldn't be shocked if I was wrong.
