This name is wonderful! It's similar to Sarah, but that name to me is cliché, so Farah is a great name to use instead! It's really beautiful, and I have a really nice friend by this name. I'd definitely consider using it for a future daughter!

BEAUTIFUL name! If ever I have a daughter I'm going to name her Farah.
Love that it isn't common and never have I met someone with this name so it isn't ruined for me.
Any girls with this name are BLESSED!

I know it's an ethnic name, but because of Farrah Fawcett it will always sound dated to me, like they were born in the 1970's. It's so overused.

Personally I think Farah is more of a girl’s name. Rhymes with Sarah. I can’t imagine it on a boy though.

I developed a real liking for this name after watching the '70s fantasy adventure film, Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger. In it, Farah was the name of Jane Seymour's character, a beautiful Middle Eastern princess and Sinbad's love interest. Princess Farah was a breathtaking blend of exotic Eastern promise and '70s Boho chic.
