Tara 2

A beautiful name that truly ages well and is timeless as well.

Interesting name. Is it pronounced Tair-uh or Taur-uh?

Tara is the name of a close friend of mine who I've known since I was three, so I am a bit biased to like this name. However, I think it is extremely pretty, short but sweet, and I like the pronunciation TAH-ra best. The meaning of "star" is so beautiful, and for some reason I prefer Tara to other names with this meaning, like Stella, Astrid, etc. My friend Tara is half Mauritian and has a dark complexion and I think her name really suits her. More baby girls should be given the name Tara!

Beautiful name. I like the Sanskrit pronunciation (tah-rah) more. The English pronunciation tends to make it sound like Terra.

I like the Sanskrit meaning of the name Tara (from which my mother got the name Taryn). I used it to make my email address name of starflower. The flower part coming from my love of gardening.

My mother was born in India (Hindu) and her parents named her TARA (STAR in meaning). Until now I was thinking it is very ethnic name that belongs to Hindu culture. But ha..ha I found it now as an international name. I am so happy that my mom's name is popular everywhere. I called my mom to tell her that, and she was just giggling over a phone.
