I think since your name is so extremely common, although it is very pretty its beauty might gets diluted because of how common it is. Sarah might have felt a little plain to you when you were younger based on how many people had it. I don't think I want to tell you whether or not you should change your name, because obviously that's a decision for you to decide. However, if you do decide to change it, I have some suggestions. You could change the spelling, like Sara without the "h" or "Sera," or also change it to a name either with "Sarah" in it like "Sarina," or something just similar in general to those sorts of names. Another thing you might want to consider is derivatives. "Sally" is very similar to "Sarah" in terms of feeling very common, but more unique derivatives like "Sadie" that aren't used very often might be nice to think about as well. (I have more than one nice friend named Sadie and I think it might be showing.) Sorry if this was not well-written or too long, I am new here as well and am not used to posting things/advice in discussions. I was drawn here because my name is an extremely rare form of Sarah and I was interested to see what people might have to say on the name. Good luck, Sarah!
