ahh sara is a great name. its more classy, elegant, different, and individual. its a nice change from sarah (: i like it anyway, wouldn't change it :D
I'm sara, and like everyone else it really bugs me when someone pronounces my name wrong- which is frequently! i wouldnt swap it for the world though as its quite unusual, not too long and cant be shortened.
Hello folks! I am Sarah. I don't really see why you girls are so much against this very name. I just love it because it is one name which is accepted internationally. I'm proud to have the name, for the meaning it has is truly amazing...which you all know. I'm not upset about the fact that it is widely used and common. In fact it is so very softly and delicately pronounced, that people are loving the name'so much. What I'mean is, the name is so good and loved by everyone, that it is very common.Sarah rocks! All of us rock!
sara is my name, i luv it lots of people pronounce it wrong but i luv that its such an individual name and that noone really has my name its awesome! xxxxxxxx
My name is also Sara and I LOVE it!!! There's about another 10 Sarah's in my school. But adore Sara because It's different and it means 'Princess'!!!:D
I tend to affiliate names with people i know and what they are really like. I like Sarah because i had a friend with that name, but I'm not keen on Sara because i know someone with that name that wasn't very nice. Wow, ever thought about how our experiances with people effect our opinions on names❤️
Sara is the name that my dad gave me when I was born. He got it from the'song "Sara Smile". I, like everyone else have a issue with people spelling my name wrong, but i also get peoples who spell not only my first name wrong, but my last name are well. As a kid i always want to have a different name, but now that my Dad has passed away, i love my name. Thank you Dad.
I love being called Sara.It's short,simple and beautiful.In my opinion, Sara just has a ring to it that Sarah lacks... I am very proud to have this name and rate it very highly!!
Too many THOTs named Makayla and variants everywhere. Trash name.
One of the best songs of all time is "Sarah Saturday" by "The Bouncing Souls." Anyone who knows a Sarah will love the lyrics and anyone who likes a little rock n' roll will jump and down!
This is my nephe's name pronounced "Ee-lie-shuh".I think it is a wonderful name,though MANY people who dont know him such as doctors call him "Ee-lee-shuh" which is how it would be pronounced as a girls name or they call him "E-lie-juh"(with a J instead of an S).I think it an awesme name for a boy or girl...just wish people would learn how to pronounce it and make sure its a boy or girl before they attempt to say it.
My name is Sara. Lots of people spell my name wrong, with an "h" at the end. It gets a little annoying at times, but I love my name! Although it is quite common, I still get tons of comments about it, all good!
I like it that my name is spelled differently, but I wish people would REMEMBER that fact.
i like the name'sara i think spelling sara as sarah is a waste of an h I'mean the h is there for nothing just ro made it longer.
Could you write about Phsiycs so I can pass Science class❤️
My name is Sara, and I love it! I am so glad that it doesn't have that pesky and unnecessary "h", but this has caused some problems for me.
Sara is my new little granddaughter. She is three weeks old. She is delicious and she matches very nicely with her new name. I love the name being described as gentle and lovable.
Question: How many songs have the name "Sara" in it. I can only think of two (by P & O and Air supply)
My name is Sara and i used to hate it but now i think its great! Its original and i prefer It'so much to 'Sarah'-so common! XSaraX
My names Sara, NOT SARAH. its not even pronounced like sarah, its sooo annoying when my teache's read my name as sarah from registration, and sometimes even my family accidently do, i love the name'sara, pronounced like "SAAARRRRRRR-RARR." :D . x
the name sara is okay, but it is used way too much.
My name is Sara and I have always really liked it, even more now than ever. I'm 33 and looking for a name for my daughter. I hope to find one she'll be as happy with as I am with mine. There are plenty of Sara's and Sarah's: growing up, I was called "Sara P" in school, and my sister-in-law's name is Sarah. I feel like "Sara" is a more modern spelling than "Sarah".
I love my name. I think It's very feminine and distinctive without the "h"! It is constantly misspelled by people, but I don't mind correcting them. It goes to show that they're used to tons and tons of SARAHs, and my name is unique!
MY BABY NAME IS SARA, IN SHE IS MY PRINCESS, I ALSO LIKE The'sONG SARA WITH BOB DYLAN. SARA, SARA. SWEET VIRGIN ANGEL, SWEET LOVE OF MY LIFE.
I have met like 50 other'sarah, but not one Sara like me! My name is great to have though.
A lot of people spell my name with a "h" but otherwise i love it
My name is Sara, bt isnt pronounced like Sarah, its pronounced as sorry, except instead of the "E" sound at the end its an "uh" sound. i LOVE it, because i have NEVER met anyone who has the'same name as me. the only bad thing is that whenever'someone meets me for the first time they call me Sarah for a couple months. and the teache's always call me Sarah. lol. i love that my name means Princess though. my mom and i have the'same initials, its so cool. when i have kids my first daughters name is going to start with an "S"!
this is my name, people usually say veda. my mom got it from the movie my girl.
Sara means "princess" and It's Hebrew. My name is Sara and I'm 14. I truthfully don't like being a Sara because my last name is spelled with an H that people always forget and my first is spelled with and EXTRA letter (H)! I hate that letter. Anyway, there are 4 Sara & Sarah's in my grade alone. It's annoying to always have to write your full name. If You're expecting go with something unique, Sara is starting to become more common again so please, steer clear. I think the name is beautiful but there are TOO many and It's too commonly misspelled, even on awards & school forms! So go with the originality of it all!
my name is sara and i adore it. if you are stuck for a nickname call yourself Saz or Sazzy people used to get my name wrong but now when some one says sarah (grrrrrrrr) about ten people say ITS SARA! lol my name is UNIQUE! and beautiful x <3
I am Sara..... I know loads o Sarah but I am the only Sara I know. SARRRRR-RAAAAA is right! I hate being called sarah cos its so common! Sara is unique and original. My last name also begins with an S, I love the aliteration!
My name is Sara and everyone seems to spell it with the "h" and I hate that! It looks really funny to me like its pronounced Sara huh. Plus if I had the "h" on my name, it would be funny spelling It'since my last name'starts with a "H" also!
sara is a cool name i wouldn't want any other one. I just have one question.....why does it have to mean "princess❤️!❤️!" oh and I hate it when people spell It's-A-R-A-H, its S-A-R-A OK, JEEEEEEEZZZ!!!
Sarra is my name and I think that people should love the way sarra can be spelled in so many different ways it gives uniqueness to each spelling. I am thankful for my name. Being positive about your name can give you courage to stand up for more than just your name.
I used to hate being a Sara because it is such a common name and everyone wants to spell it with an H but now It's becoming more popular to spell it without the H. I don't mind having a common name now because my last name is unique and also a first name'so when'there are too many Sara's/Sarah's around I go by my last name. My husband wanted to name our daughter Tara because T comes after's in the alphabet and he loved my name'so much that he wanted our daughter to have the'same name, but it would have been'too confusing. We named her'something else but the idea was very nice and made me feel better about my name.
they spell it wrong; Ashley with an e. I hate that you can never get things with your name on them-always spelled wrong, with an "e". So many people thing it is English when it is Gaelic from Ireland from beore the 1700's
my name is also sara and i am 13.and i agree with most of the coments here all though i am the only sara or sarah in my grade.my only coment about it is that i wish people would pronounce it write and PLEASE TRY TO REMEMBER ITS SARA NOT SARAH. i love my name and its meaning and the fact that its not to long and all of us saras +sarahs should be happy its not somthing more commonly misprounounced or misspelled.
My name is Sara without H! I wished that it was with a H but in portugal its impossible to put it!! But It'sounds great anyway*****
if i ever am blessed enough to have a baby girl one day she is going to be sara. i have always loved the name. its beautiful.and it means 'princess':)
I like the'spelling Sara better than the'spelling Sarah.
This is my first name. I can't even begin to tell you how many people do not know how to pronounce this name when'they are reading it. 90% of the time it is read as "Stefan". It'still amazes me how many people do this. This not an uncommon name.
my sisters name is sara and i like to bug her and be like sara-huh is duhamb.
It's the best name ever'sARA and my nickname is sassy or people call me sari pronounced saaaarrrreeeee sarah I'mean sara is the best name ever even my friends say you are so lucky to have this name ... my full name is sara laveeza ahmed and laveeza is a bueatiful name too i am soo lucky to have 2 beuatiful names.....
oh god.this name s so beautiful.i love this name because im in love with that.maybe god can hear me...
Sara is one of the best names I know. I really don't like it when people put an H at the end. I also like it because it means Princess!
My little girl is named Sara. Many try to add spell It'sarah. Sara has a spanish flair to it.
Often Sarah and Sara are interchangeable, but aren't always pronounced the'same. When spelt with the 'h' the first 'a' is pronounced like 'fair', whereas without the 'h', the first 'a' is pronounced as in 'far'. An example of this is the character'sara/Yellow Flash from an old Power Rangers-like show in late Eighties' Japan called Supernova (or Choushinsei) Flashman (a show that was a big hit with Brazilians in the early Nineties). She was the'smart one of the team with a cold sharp mind she inherited while training on Yellow Star of the Flash Solar System, according to the program
Hey My name is CERA but it is pronounced Sara. :D I love my name.

My name's Sara n I TRULYL LOVE it. It's so classy, beautiful, elegant n special. I'm so proud of my name. I always have. I feel really blessed n lucky to have been named Sara. Like most othe's, it bugs me when'they put an H at the end of it, but I correct people as many times as I need to... if I have to. After all, It's my adorable, priceless name n It's sure worth it.
my name is sara, and people ALWAYS spell it wrong....and i didn't know it was so popular....but i do know of three other girls with the'same spelling. that's pretty wierd
My name is Sara and im a french-canadian. I love the fact that my name is spells without and H. It makes me more special!! We should all have something different from the other. Just like the'song: Zak and Sara, from Ben Folds!!
I gave birth to an other Princess, hence a darling Sara was born!
My name is Sara Ann. Is there a different pronounciations for the different spelling...h or without the h❤️ I thought they were pronounced the'same...like 'S.AIR.A'❤️ I did not like my name as a child cause I could never find anything with the correct spelling, but I like it now. All the other people I know with this name all seem to be very strong willed people, and very determind...and are all also known to be extremely moody at times. Not sure if this has to do with the name but It's a joke to all the'sara's I know.
my name is Sara and i would love it if only it werent so common! its pronounced the'same as Sarah. i like It'so much better without the "h". there are about 40 other'sarahs at my school, and i hate that. i am unique, so my name'should be too!
I definatley like my name(: even'though It's very common i still like it(: there is only one other girl in my high school besides myself that has my name(: it really does bug me when people spell it with an H on the end but only because my middle name'starts with an H. other then'that i definately enjoy my name(:
I have named my daughter'sara in India and my company name as well & am proud of it.
I used to really dislike my name because I knew so many Saras, but the older I get, the more I love it. It's classic and beautiful and everyone tells me they love it.
It's my name and I hate when people put an H at the end! AHHHHH
My name is Sara. I hate it when people add the h in the end. My last name'starts with a h so if I wrote Sarah.H. Then'that would be weird...anyway I adore my name. SARA!!! For nicknames I'm called Saz, Sar ( pronounced saaaah) Sari. I think Sara is an awesome name. SARA!!! <3
Most people spell my name wrong and put a 'h' on the end or speel it with a 'Z' instead of an 'S' but its my name n i love it because its different and not that many people have got it!!!
Sara is a beautiful name for a beautiful baby. Sara has a sweet innocense sound to it. This name is gentle and lovable and it has alot of giving. Sara shares.
My name is Sara and It's starting to grow on me but It's just so common. And people almost never check the'spelling since It's so common, so it often gets an h tacked on the end.
I have kept my daughter's name as SARA and I love this name because of its meaning. She is my first baby and Princess for me...the most beautiful, gorgeous and luvly baby in this entire planet.
SARA BABEE! my names *~Sara~* and I'm LOVIN IT! There Isn't a better name in the world. I totally rock... I'mean... my name... totally rocks. :)
It's my name! i've always loved how simple and sweet it is. Most people are polite and ask if I have an "h" on the end, or they see how I sign my e-mails and they follow suit. Although, the other'sara below confuses me, how can you pronounce "Sara" different than "Sarah"❤️❤️
My name is also Sara.. Like many people here I hated that my name was so common but I grew to love it. It is a very pretty name, and also like many people here my last name'starts with an H, and i get fustrated when people spell my name with an H on the end of it.
my friend is called sara. she likes it to be prononced sarah but spells It'sara which i think is very cool.
my name is sara and i love it. i love the meaning and i use it in my favor alot (: hehe. the only thing i hate about it is the fact that It's soooo common. they are probably at least 20 sara(h)'s in my school. another thing is that everyone always spells it with the H. in my opinion, the H is overrated (: that's what i always say.
My biggest issue with my name being sara is that it Isn't able to be made into a nickname lol.
Hate it! I can't beli've people pick this name... too many out there already and they seem to all be obnoxious!!!
Sara is the most beautiful name and I love the way It'sounds as it crosses a persons lips. My love's name is Sara.....Her name is perfect like her!

This is my name, and I absolutely hate it. It's not unique, It's not pretty, and It's always hard to get people to say it right. My middle name's Kathryn, and I wish my parents would have just made Kathryn my first name. For those of you considering, baby names for your future children, please take the time to pick a name for your child that is a nice, uncommon name. Who wants to have the'same name as hundred million other people❤️ I wish my parents would have taken more time to choose mine, since now I'm stuck with it.
We're considering it for our next son. I really like it, and don't know anyone with this name
My name is Sara too. And yes, just like most of you some people spell it with an H and it realli annoys me. Even if I say "ther's no H" they still spell it wrong afterwords. Well, I think Sara is a realli awesome name to have. I know that it is hebrew, and that it means "princess". ooh yeah, we are the princesses.
My name is always spelt wrong which i find very annoying, i pronounce it 'Sarah', i feal It'should have been pronounced Sara origionally.
My name is Sara. Have never liked or disliked the name. I'm indifferent to it, maybe because It's very commmon and to me seems WASP-y, which I am not. I don't know if it fits my personality and I'm thinking of changing my name. The thing that I like about it is that I was born in the late 70's when'the name was very popular, so I feel my name represents that time period well and has significance, as the name Isn't as common now as it was then.
sara is wayyyy to original, i dont like the name. there are 7 saras in my class! sevin!
Sara is my name and it will always stay that way...well duh...and I love it..bc my boyfriend says my name'so sweet!..but yeah dont even spell it with a H
My name is Sara and I like It'sometimes, and other times I don't. Anyways, the name is from the bible and means princess. My name always makes me think of Sarah Lincoln. How many times have I been introduced to a person who then will start singing the'song "Sara" from the 80ies. A lot. :)
It bugs me that people spell it with an 'h' sometimes, but my name's really more like 'sada' like, a cross between a 'd' and a rolled 'r'. my friend calls me sarai (Sar-eye) though. It's great because It's not so popular anymore!
My name is Sara, I'm moroccan. At school everyone either calls me "Sarah" or "Zara" but I love Sara, the way It's said and spelt. It'seems original and I'm the only Sara at my high school :)
the name'sheldon makes me think of turtles. one time we caught a frog in my backyard and named It'sheldon too. more of a pet name.
i love my anme sara! why do people put a 'h' in it❤️ i think that'so stupid.(: there is way to many sara(h)s in this world):
My best friends name is Sara. She is the best friend you could ask for, and although she's short she has a big personality! We also call her mouse or che'se because of the height. The name'sara ROCKS!!!I'm jealous...:P
My name is "SARA" and I adore this name.it makes me feel like a princess every single day and I'm so gratefulfor that:)
I am a "Sara" and I noticed all Sara's want their name'spelled correctly. It is weird how particular we are. I hated my name when I was young and now I like it.
the name'sara isnt good at all infact i hate it..sarahhh is a muchh better way of writing it!!
i have a friend called SARA!! and that'si the BEST way of spelling IT
It's my name!!!LUV IT!..well I think It's a very nice name..It's not 2 long..usually pronounced&written; correctly..
