I find it rather modern, even though it's uncommon. I think it clashes rather badly with Miriam, Tabitha and Ivy, all of which are old-fashioned and fairly gentle. Lara (said that way) strikes me as harsh and grating.

I prefer Lara to the three, actually.

I prefer the sib set of Lara, Runa, and Liora to the other three. But if I marry the guy I'm dating, only "classic trendy" will be allowed. No Ezra, Jonas, Tobias, Lara, Runa and Liora. :-/

Awwww...are you sure you couldn't talk him into one of those? They're so lovely. I'd swoon if I met a little Ezra, Jonas or Runa.

Lara and Liora are awfully similar for siblings. You might want to try the "yelling across the house" test.
