Lara
What do you think of the name Lara (prn: Lahr-a)? I've never given it much thought, but tonight I heard it on and it sounded so pretty. I'm not sure if I would use it as a FN or MN. Does anyone have any combo suggestions? Thanks! :)

GorgeousI like Laura slightly better, but I adore both names. Lara has its own charm, it's so simple and feminine and pretty without being flighty and over-the-top. (I hate when Laura is pronounced LORE-a, ugh.)I think it would be an awkward middle name. But the only Lara I know is Lara Elizabeth, which is kind of dull. Lara Octavia comes to mind!

How do you pronounce Laura? Because LORE-a is the only pronunciation I've ever heard; same as LAH-ra rather LAIR-a for Lara.

Ditto.

Wow, really? What a shameI say Laura Lah-ra, or Low-ra in Spanish class, which I still think is nice. I think Lore-a is really ugly and Lahra is exquisite and feminine. Some people down here say it Lore-a and I find it infuriating.I never say Lara Lair-a, because I think that's really ugly too.

I adore.I pronounce it both ways, but it's such a simple, beautiful, and unusual name, yet familiar. What do you think of Lara Emilia?

I know 2 girls with that name. They pronounce it differently. One pronounces it almost like Laura just with not a such a strong u and one pronounces it Lair (like L with the word air) a (like uh). I think the second one is what you mean. A lot of people get it confused with Laura when they hear or see the name. It is pretty though.

I love Lara. It's much prettier (and less common) than Laura, Lauren, Laurel, etc. Since it's fairly simple, I'd use something more elaborate for a mn so that it doesn't turn boring.Lara Penelope

Lara Octavia
