[Opinions] Re: Amara
in reply to a message by Lily
I love Amara (ah-MAH-ra). I don't really care for ah-MAIR-a.
I hadn't thought of Amara as seeming forgettable, but I can understand your concern. Even well-known names can be confused with other names (Jennifer being called Jessica, etc.), but some names definitely seem easier to forget than others. I think there would be fewer issues with Amara than Amaya since Mara isn't very popular unlike Maya. Then again, unusual names in general can be more difficult to remember, but Amara isn't that complicated. I think that most people would be able to catch on.
