I've never really cared for Zara. It sounds like someone using Sara(h) but being pretentious about it. That's odd, because I usually love pretentious sounding names. I get the same reaction to Zofia for Sophia, even though I know that's a legitimate variant. Zara has just never found a way into my heart. I do love Zora, Zola and Zillah, and Mara -- just not Zara. :-/

That said, I can still appreciate a nice combination. Zara Estelle and Zara Constanza are my favorites. The only one that doesn't flow well is Zara Aurora. Too many "r" sounds too close together. I can't say it out loud without sounding like a dog barking.

I'm really quite fond of Zara, strange since the only one I've ever met was a right bit.... anyway

Zara Juliet is very pretty
and I also like the quirkiness of Zara Aurora

Zara is a really nice spiced-up version of Sara. I like it! Personally, I'm not a big fan of combos where the endings are both -a. My favourites of your combos Zara Estelle and Zara Michele. (That said, Zara Jacinta is pretty cool too!) On the -elle ending theme, what about:
Zara Gabrielle
Zara Brielle
Zara Joelle
Zara Narelle
Zara Noelle
Zara Chantelle
Zara Danielle
Zara Giselle (ooo, I like tbat one!)
Like any?

I love Zara! It's as simple as more "boring" names like Jane and Lara and Sara, but the "Z" gives it a lot of personality and awesomeness.
