HelpRe: twin girls, due in May
in reply to a message by Gina
I think Zahara should be changed... I immediately think of Angelina Jolie. Not bad, but the name could soon become VERY popular.
I do love Sage, though.
I like Hazel Sophia, but Hazelle is not very pretty IMO.
If you want the same sound for Zahara, try: (Favorites starred)
Adara Sage
Amara Sage**
Atara Sage**
Cara Sage
Lara Sage** (If you like Angleina Jolie, this could still be a subtle refernce, heh heh. Think Lara Croft, Tomb Raider)
Mara Sage
Tamara Sage
Xara Sage
Zara Sage** (Still very close in sound, but not an exact copy of Angelina :-P)
See here for more: http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?nmd=n&terms=*ara
So, IMO, this is very nice:
Zara Sage
Hazel Sophia
jULiA!
Forget regret...Or life is yours to miss...RENT = Love! :-D

I appreciate everyone that took the time to respond. I read everyone's thoughts more than once. It is the sound of Zahara that I like. My last name is 2 syllables and begins with Har-. I enjoyed the repeated "ha" (short a) in both names. I don't even know who Angelina Jolie is. The little TV I watch is exclusively Spanish programming and I haven't seen a movie in English in 10 years. Surely Angelina Jolie is not that influencial. Is she that popular? I imagined the connection would quickly pass. When I mention the name to my friends, none of them were aware of her, but again, none of my friends are very familiar with American culture as they are all immigrants. The one comment I have received from a school teacher was that I should give my girls "white girl names". Although I heard her perspective, it's offensive I believe to say to a stranger. If I stick with Zahara, I think her sister needs a less traditional name than Hazel. I think something that stresses the 2nd or 3rd syllable. just my thoughts at the moment, thanks again to everyone who pitched in, Gina
