Amara

I love this name a lot it's so pretty and it's not common at all, so what if it means bitter at least Amara has some great meanings like everlasting, grace and to love the name Amara also means immortal which is actually really cool.

This name is so pretty, too bad it means "bitter" in Latin.

It's okay, it sounds a little harsh though.

Not a fan at all.

How pretty!

Ugly, this name doesn’t even sound good.

It’s pretty but very girly. I prefer Amaris (for a girl).

Before I give my opinion on the name Amara, I’d like to say that I don’t mean for this comment to be in any way offensive, and whatever my opinion is I will say it as respectfully as possible. I apologize in advance if it has hurt your feelings, which wasn’t my intention at all. I will absolutely take it down if it’s in any way mean.

Personally, I am not a huge fan of Amara. I do realize it has some beautiful, sensational meanings and does have a nice sound. I don’t dislike the name altogether, but the fact that I speak Italian has perhaps spoiled it a little for me. I’ve spent my earliest years in Rome, Italy, and nobody I knew went by that name. Maybe Tamara, but not Amara. I don’t know if it’s just in the Italian language, but Amara actually means "bitter". It sucks, because the name in English does have delicacy and charisma. I just wish "Amara" didn’t mean "bitter" in Italian, otherwise I would’ve thought of something else. All facts considered, Amara is a pretty cute name. I prefer the name Mara, to be honest, but Amara isn’t at all bad. Some nicknames for Amara: Mara, Amy, Ammie, Am, Ams, Arah, Am, Ammie being my personal favorite.

I like it better than the similar sounding Amira, meaning princess. I also like it better then Hannah or Grace, which have the same meaning. And it's like Mara, but it does not mean bitter and is not as common as Maria. It's cute.

I can't explain it, the name Amara has this earthly quality to it that I admire. I honestly think of a beautiful and blooming flower when I hear this name. A feeling of warmth tends to happen like it's just perfect. It's the perfect name because I just get that feeling which I never get so I guess that's a good sign. I do love the combination, Amara Lorelei, I don't mind this name getting popular, but not too popular because it would just lose some of its unique feeling. Overall loving this name and the fact that it's Greek.

I love this name! It's so mysterious sounding, but usable.

When choosing to name my daughter Amara it came from my spouse and deceased brother's middle names both being Lamar. I dropped the L, in the beginning and added an A on the end. I thought it was pretty creative because it was in honor of my spouse and late brother. I am glad that the name has a majority of many beautiful meanings; bitter being the worst.

My name is Amara, and I remember it being Greek and German.. The meanings are Immortal and Eternal... Amara is pronounced uh-MARE-uh.
Which is confused with uh-mar-uh... At least that's what I know of my name.

My best friend is named Amara. While the name itself is alright, people ALWAYS mispronounce it.

In my head, this name is just a placeholder. Whenever I haven't named a female character and another character needs to scream her name in agony (or something of similar effect), he always ends up screaming Amara. It's exotic sounding, but it has no substance.

Amara is a beautiful name. I have seen this name translated to "unfading flower".

I think that this name is very original and ever since I heard it I feel in love with it. I would like some day to name one of my daughters this. And not very many people have it. It makes a difference compared to the usual names like Stephanie, Samantha, Julie, Melissa, Amanda, you know.
