Farah is my actual favorite name. I love it.

I find it both simple, yet cross-cultural and both visually and harmonically appealing. It's just a great name, and I also prefer the one 'r' spelling.

Farah Joy of your list is lovely, and cute because both names mean "joy", still I find Farah Lavender to be upbeat and unexpected and Farah Josephine to be a bit more grounded and classy.

Farah Pearl is also quite lovely, we had Farah Perlas on our list for a while.

I would go with Farah Lavender personally, just for the sake of beauty.

Farah really is great. It's simple, warm, and has that cross-cultural edge that I love. I was never a fan of the two 'r' spelling myself.

I had initially decided against Farah Lavender because of the whole "feral" thing being pointed out but I think you're right, it's upbeat and unexpected and really rather pretty. Plus, I couldn't stop thinking about it today. It'll probably be sticking around for a while.

Farah Perlas is really nice. I'll have to research Perlas. I like it's look.

Thanks!

I love Farah!

Farah Felicity - points a bit to Farrah Fawcett
Farah Lily - fairly
Farah Joy - a little odd since Farah means "joy"
Farah Lavender - Farah L-anything takes my mind to the word "feral"

I like Farah Josephine best I guess but I don't care for Josephine. I do like the idea of Farah J-something though.

I like the idea of Farah j-something too.

What about Farah Joann, Farah Joelle, Farah Josette, Farah Josune, Farah Justine or Farah Judita?

Farah Josette is adorable. I also like Farah Josune. Josune's a new name to me.

Thanks!

Ya' know, I almost always pick up on the word-type sounds two names make but I didn't pick up on "feral" from Farah Lavender. I'm glad you pointed it out. It's more of a GP but that's just bad.

Farah Joy is rather redundant but I figured it could be worse.

Thanks!

Eh I dunno, now that I look at it I feel like Farah and Josephine are fighting each other. Farah Violet feels like a better match

Farah has a nice meaning, but I don't particularly care for the sound...

That said, I do think Farah Violet makes a pretty combo.

Not the worst but does make me think of 'pheromone'

Anyways...
Farah Josephine is the best combo

I can understand the association. Not many positive words start with a fer- sound.

Thanks!
