I did however become friends with a girl on Facebook that had my first and last name! I was honored...

We're the "F" siblings! lol After living in many places around the world, I found that outside Malaysia, this name is typically deemed unique, but in Malaysia this name is very common, nothing special about it... Like the typical "Sarah" or "John"... ironic, huh❤️ lol Nevertheless, I love my name!! :)
I live in the'south east of england where there is a high population of muslims and there are a few girls named farah. I work in a call centre and when ever i introduce myself the reply is Sara, daily i have to say no its farah with a F.. my name means happiness which i feel does suit my personality as i am a very optimistic and cheerful person.
The most bizarre is being called Quegin.... Been called Q-Tip, Quinton Tarantino, Queen dog lol
Hi, My name is Farrah Lanai..I think my name is unique..but I was in the grocery store and there was a cashier named Farrah..It just seemed weird. Because I thought I was the only Farrah in my small little town..People are always saying a beautiful my name is and how they like my name.

Actually, it is a family name for me - my grandmother, mother and myself. I'm pregnant and will be naming my by girl Farrah as a middle name. The tradition must go on!
i named my daughter farrah reese, i love It'still, think It's perfect for my little blond haired beauty. when farrah fawcett was first diagnosed with cancer i thought she would be a prefect person to name my daughter after. so courageous and strong and beautiful, everything you want your daughter to be. my little one is to young to appreciate It'still but everyone we meet love it. I'm very glad it has not gained popularity yet...hoping no one catches on for at least a few more years:)
i have the name farrah and i thought only 2 other people had it in the world
Heyyy my name is Farrah as well, and yessss I was named after Farrah Fawcett. I have met 4 other Farrah's in my city. One of which was one of my-closest friends in middle school. Her brother use to play games on the phone with me. It would go like this...hello, can I speak to Farrah. Who's calling...Farrah. Who do you want to speak to...Farrah...I loooove my name, I usually get how beautiful it is and that the name fits me. Farah has several meanings, which include joy, happiness, and charI'matic which definately describes me.
My name is Farrah, I was born in 1988. Though I was often incorrectly called Sarah while growing up, I love my unique name and get compliments on it all the time. At times people have also mispronounced it placing the emphasis on the "rah". I could retire now if I had a dime for the number of times i've heard "oh like Farrah Fawcett❤️"
i've only ever met 2 other women with my name. One lady ıFarahı worked at a hotel I was staying at and another was my Waitress one night, although her name was spelt Fara. (Mine is Farrah) Apparently it means Beautiful or Good looking in Arabic (haha cant complain about a name with a meaning like that!). I like my name, It's not very common and almost everyone I'meet says It's a beautiful name. My only complaint, people usually think its Sarah or instantly make a Farrah Fawcett reference! Regardless I am proud to be Farrah and cant imagine having any other name. <3 Hello to all the Farrah, Farah and Faras out there!
well my name is tameeka and i love It'soooooooooooooooooooo much
I'm half persian but grew up in the gulf states & my name is farrah. Farrah is simply the arabic way of spelling it. the persian way is Farah or Farahnaz. Farrah also (if its pronounced correctly - something westerners can't do) has a very hard sound, almost like the'spanish trill of r, but the persian version is much smoother, less harsh.
I named my daughter Farrah, (born Oct.17/06) While I was pregnant I was shopping and a clerk had Farrah on her name tag, I asked her if she liked her name, and she did very much... It'stuck with me. I am very happy that I went with my gut, my Farrah is so sweet, it is a feminine and soft name. A friend from Morocco told me it means happiness in Arabic and I like that.
I am pregnant with my third daughter and came across this name in a baby name book and fell in love with it I'mediately!! She is due in 9 weeks and will def be named Farrah. I'm inter'sted to know though what are siblings of current FarrahFarahs called❤️
My daughters name is Farrah (middle name is AnaBelle) and everyone just loves it. I beli've a name has a bit of an impact on a persons future and with a name like Farrah your destine to be beautiful!!!
My name is Farrah. It's a little annoying to talk to people on the phone, they always say Sarah so i've had to get in the habit of (depending on the age of the other person) saying "Like Farrah Fawcett" or "like 'Farrah' from teen mom" (as much as the latter makes my skin crawl to say). But I have yet to meet another Farrah my age (23) so yay for unique factor, but I wouldn't have picked the name personally.
My name is Farrah Daye and my whole life everyone called me Farrah Fawcett, but I actually was named after one of my mom's friends from high school. I LOVE my name and it makes me unique and people remember the name Farrah!
my name is farrah, it is pronounced far as in far and away and rah as in how a lion roars.people always spell it and say it wrong, but it is a cool name to have.
hI'my name is farah also...it means beauty and joy...be proud FARAH'S OR FARRAH'S :)
My daughter is 7 and her name is Farrah I always get asked if I named her after Farrah Fawcett, but I❤️d never heard of her until people said she was an original Charlie❤️s angel, with her name being so rare when I take her to school is like I'm walking with a little celebrity ❤️
Im glad you named your daughter Farah with one r,because it feels like im the only one with the one r..:-(
I am pregnant with my second daughter and my husband and I have chosen'to name her Farrah. We love the way that It'sounds and the meaning of the name. When people ask what are you going to name your baby girl we say "Farrah" and of course they say like "Farrah Fawcett" and I say "NO!", like Farrah Nicole. (Nicole will be her middle name.)
I love my name (Farrah). Even'though you tell people It's with F as in "Frank" they still spell It'sarah or Sarrah. I'must say that i've gotten "randomly searched" at the airport quite often since 9/11...I think It's because of my name.
My granddauters name any day now is Farrah and l just love it Tom.
I am pregnant and will be naming my daughter Farrah. Everytime I tell someone her name they say "like Farrah Fawcett❤️" and then I say no, because she's not named after her. I actually was watching an MTV show and one of the character's names was Farrah. I love the name and I do not know anyone with that name. Hopefully my daughter will love it as she gets older.
My name is Farrah. I was born in 1989. As with everyone else I get mistaken for Sarah a lot, but i've gotten used to it. I'm not sure why the name hasn't been more popular over the years, but I'm glad. I love my name and It's uniqueness.

My name is Farrah. I'm almost 33 years old and I was named after Farrah Fawcett also :)People tell me all the time that they think my name is beautiful. I too hate being called Sarah and there were times growing up I wished my parents had just named me Sarah. My middle name's Ann. I now live having an unusual, yet beautiful name. When people mention the name Farrah, they know It's me they're referring to becausE I'm the only one around!
We named our daughter Faye Julia. She was born 7-2-10. We love the name-It's classy and unique but not weird. Everybody who asks what her name is, loves it!
I want to name my daughter Farah. It's just such a beautiful name, and now i've found out the name means beauty, joy, etc, it makes me want to pick that name even more! I love unique names so much more than your average Kate or Sophie or Sarah (but I'm not saying those are bad names!).

I love the name because it is very beautiful, and I'm a proud FARRAH!!
Yes, I convinced my parents to name my little brother Ean when I was in'the third grade because I thought it was phon'tically more logical. I didn't know anyone else actually had the name. Kewl stuff!
I didnt realize how many people have the name Farrah. I know one other person whos named Farah but not with two R's. My name is Farrah Suzanne and One of my coaches that I had said they were going to name the baby after one of my names if it was a girl. I never actually relized how awsome my name is.:D
My name is Farah too, and i have to say ive never met another Farah, only heard about Farrah Fawcett and Farrah Franklin of course, its awesome to see you all up there! I love our name because everyone says it is exotic. I personally adore that word, we have a beautiful meaning to our name, but the only downside is people thinking you said Sarah or people misspelling my name frequently due to the absence of one 'R' in my spelling. Other than that, I love Farah, its no ordinary name, for no ordinary people!
My name is Farrah Suzanne and I live in Florida. I think there are two other Farrah's in my city but they are older. My dad was in love with Farrah Fawcett so of course had to name me after her. I love my name and how It's not that common. But, after reading this page I don't feel so special :(

I just named my daughter Farah on Friday. I hope she likes the name as much as I do.
Hey, my real name is Faryn but I prefer Farrah; I like it cause you don't hear it all the time and it is really unique, plus it just fits me. But the bad thing is people make fun of it... but who cares cause I like the name Farrah. So anyone who has that name totally rocks in my books, unless your a creeper or something... Haha Anyways love the name Farrah and Faryn ! !
I am called Farrah, because my Dad is Per'san. I used to hate having an unusual name, and having to spell it to people all the time, but now I enjoy being different, and I love the meaning of the name more than the name itself!
After flicking through the tv channels late one night (during my pregnancy) when I couldn't sleep, I came across a documentary on the original actresses from Charlie's Angels. My daughter was born in November 2015 and we called her farrah! We live in Edinburgh, Scotland and it is a very unusual name here. We haven't met another Farrah yet. People usually do have to ask twice as they think her name is Sara. But once they hear it again most think it is lovely name and yes they often refer to Farrah Fawcett (which is exactly where I got it from). L. x
I'm Farrah Rachelle and I LOVE my name. I really love that I never hear it...and when I do I feel a bit jealous.
I recently had a daughter and named her FARRAH Elyse. I also get people saying, Like Farrah Fawcett". I named her Farrah because is was unique and also because my son and her'share intials. I hope she will appreciate the uniqueness when she is older.
My name is Farrah Maharani. My Dad gave me that name coz he adore Farrah Fawcett so much. Some people around me have the'same name like me but they just had one 'R'on their name (Farah) and i just smile coz i was different. I hate when people on the phone thinks that my name is Sarah or Tara. I love my name'so much and knowing that there's a lot of Farrah out there It's kinda funny. i feel special and unique coz of my name and i hope all the Farrah here feel the'same way too..
