I think it makes a better first name because it is so beautiful and different that it seems like a name you would want to use to stand out.

Nahara is a beautiful name. Being Aramaic, it should be pron. Nah-HAR-ah, as Mar pointed out. Nahrain and Nahrin are also similar names, and I've heard Nahrina, too. (Nahrin is NAH-rihn but Nahrina is Na-HREE-na.)

And, I think that Nahara works well in either name spot.

I like Nahara. It's not my favorite name ever, but it does have an individual, exotic feel. I think that as a middle name it would get overshadowed by most first names, so I personally would use it as a first name. Nice find!

It has an interesting sound and is pretty written down. Other than that, I don't really have an opinion yet. Let me think about it.

Ooh! Never hear it before but I LOVE IT! :)
I think Nahara Phoenix sounds great! I think Nala and Naila is cute to, maybe something for you?

It's an ok name, I like it better than Roshanaz. It could work both as a MN and as a FN. I owuld pronounce the As as AH here, so something like NAH-hah-rah or nah-HAH-rah (the first I'd expect if it's the name of someone Arabic, and the second I'd expect for anyone not Arabic)

Don't worry about the space, and if it does bother you, you could always edit the original post next time, and say "edited" in the subject line :)

I think it has a beautiful meaning but it's so close to Zahara/Sahara that I believe that many people will think it's made up.
