HelpSarah
I’ve recently started to like the name Sarah(and Sara, I say them the same way). What do you think of Sarah?

It's pretty. I think after it got overused (especially in the '80s) some people have gotten tired of it. It's been declining in popularity in the U.S. ever since. I think it's kinda in the same vein as Michael, which was also overused. It's still a classic of course. I also wish that there weren't two spellings of it, since that could potentially cause confusion.
Ever since the movie A Little Princess I have loved the name Sarah. I wish it was less common.
Yawn
Gorgeous name that needs a looooong rest at this point.

I quite love Sarah. It's common, yes, but it does have a beauty and sweetness to it. If I was with a partner that was starchy naming conservative, I would consider it a top choice next to Elisabeth, Hannah or Rachel. As it is, I do love it enough to consider "Sara" a nickname idea for "Seraphina".

I've always thought Sarah was a really lovely name. I knew many Sarahs before I ever met a Sara, so it looks wrong to me without the h, but it's pronounced the same, so it doesn't really matter. I like them both a lot.
Love Sarah
Weirdly enough, most of the Sarahs / Saras I've met have been more on the extreme side with regard to their lifestyle choices. Whether that means extreme spirituality, extreme living conditions, extreme life choices... the name might be dull, but the actions are not, in my experience.
That has been my experience too! Either extremely devote Christians or "Wild Child" persona 😂
Edit: or alternatively, they Became the devote after the wild child stage of life

I narrowly escaped being named Sarah Anne, after my paternal grandmother. I got the Anne as a mn, but not Sarah - my mother won that round, and I'm very grateful. Sarah seems to lack personality: like Emma, I associate it with 19th century housemaids.
Sarah Anne could be worse. The childhood friend Sarah that I had was a Sarah Rose.. and even as a child it bothered me how poorly her names grinded together like teeth at the R's.

Agree. Sarah is very eh, though it has a nice sound I wouldn't wish to be named it.
It's pretty but uninteresting. I prefer Sara because it's shorter and sweeter. Somehow it looks more feminine to me.
I can see the appeal of Sarah. It's simple, airy, and it has history. It's very tired for me, though, and I see it as a sort of downtrodden name because of its weariness. I think it could be refreshing again in like 20 years.
I love it as a middle name though, it warms up a combo beautifully.
There was a poster here (who sadly passed away years ago) that had a favourite Sarah combo I always thought was beautiful, however, and now I forever associate it with them - Sarah Juliet. That's a pretty one.

It’s painfully boring—I grew up with countless girls named Sarah. It’s much better as a middle name. Eglantine Sarah, anyone?
Nice
