I love this name, I am proud to carry it. I am American and have no idea how my mom found this name but I think it is very unique and has a lot of origins and is very simple and pretty. The name definitely stands out from others. Growing up, people always had a hard time pronouncing it, but I think they are not used to seeing it, so their brains went dumb, it's really not that complicated! But I could care less how anyone pronounced it, I still love it either way because you still spell it D-a-r-a. My name makes me feel mysterious, I'm in love!
