What do you think of this baby name for a girl?

I have gotten nothing but negative comments about it, but my boyfriend and I both love it. Its Xara Dawn. We already have a son named Xander Matthew. If you dont like it can you please suggest some different but likable names for our daughter due in april. And also say why you dont like the name. I cant figure out why people are so against it. Maybe because its just different. Maybe too different. I have never heard of anyone ever with the name Xara. Please help me.

Names starting with X are just too pretentious. Try Zara if you really like how it sounds.
Reply:Try Xera, pronouced Zera. Its close and it fits well with Xander. It means seed in hebrew Report Abuse

Reply:I can suggest "Nara" it means fire in Arabic, contented in Irish %26amp; happy in Greek!!


I also really like the name Mina [Mee-nah] it means 'love' in old german;
Reply:Name her Jayda Raine.





I dont think it would work well since you sons name is Xander.
Reply:Reasons i dont like it:





Cant figure out the right way to say it, X -ara - or like Zara ?


Its looks and sounds ugly either way


Its too close to your already named son.





I like Tara prn Tare-uh or Tar-ah


Sara


Cara


Tia
Reply:I like other posters' suggestion: use Zara instead of Xara. Zara is beautiful, Xara is not. Zara is very unique but still nice. Xara sounds uneducated and weird.





Xander is more acceptable because it's usually short for Alexander.
Reply:Hmm, I prefer Zara. Xara looks odd to me. I don't like made-up names.





I also love Xanthe.
Reply:I like Zara Dawn, but not Xara Dawn
Reply:I like Xara (I like Zara better), but to name your kids Xara and Xander is really cheesy.
Reply:I'm not crazy about it, but I really don't like it since your son already has a very similar name. Give her a nice, normal name.
Reply:I actaully know several people with that name. I think it's quite Beautiful and elagant. I once heard a rude comment about the name from a person named Sara which I thought was ridiculous. I personally would not name my child that not because I don't like the name, just my family is spanish so it never appealed to us for our name of our child. But it is a great name so you should defininteley go for it.





Don't take nay name suggestions you obviousley Love this name.
Reply:Well if other people make fun of the name egnore them because I think Xara Dawn is a beautiful name for your daughter.I think she will be a great girl.Good luck with your daughter.
Reply:i would kill myself if my name was xara..or xander..no offense
Reply:Oh I love it! I like different names! It is awesome!
Reply:Know what? I love it! im totally with you. The x thing doesnt thrill me, but i dont hate it either. I think since shes gonna have a brother named Xander its kind of cool! I think Dawn sounds beautiful with it, and I think you should go for it.
Reply:I like it a lot.
Reply:I think it is very odd- never heard it before. But it is your daughter and I think if you like that then go for it!! You do not need our approval on it! Congrats!!!!! :)

Reply:I agree with the first poster... names starting with X are just a bit much... Xander is okay because it's a derivative of Alexander...but Xara is a name your daughter will have to spell and pronounce for the rest of her life. Teachers will mispronounce it, they'll probably read it wrong at her graduation and really... Dr. Xara? I just don't see it. If you're really hung on Xara at least spell it Zara (I still don't really like the name... but at least people will be able to pronounce it).





What about Lilliana, Luisa, Devon, Mani....
Reply:It's not a bad name. I am just not sure if you are pronouncing it sort of like Sarah (but with the z sound) or Xara rhyming with far.





It reminds me of one of my favorite 'Z' girl names: Zahra (Zahra rhyming with far) I've always liked Zahra Lily.





BTW, I love Xander matthew. Xander is on my own boy list.
Reply:I like it, but I am just more used to it being spelled with a Z (Zara). It is infact, quite a nice name. Sounds a little more mysterious than sara and even more sophisticated, if you will. Nice. Also, consider Lara. It is short for Larissa. Very nice too. But the name you have, if you are feeling it..it is a perfectly respectable and decent name and not too uncommon at all.
Reply:I see nothing wrong with the name Xara Dawn. It's pretty, even. It goes really well with you son's name too.





You are right that people don't like different names, but the more people get used to a name, the more they will like it. I am sure that as you pick this name with love, your daughter will love it too.
Reply:I like Xara, but I don't like it with Dawn. I think it would sound better with a longer middle name.What do you think about Xara Marissa


Xara Melayna (I like this the best)


Xara Christian (I really like this too.)


Xara Allison


Xara Jasmine


Hope I helped!!! Good luck!
Reply:I like the name! I see that you're trying to match the first letter with her brother's name and thats sweet.





Personally I like unique and different names that no one else has or that you rarely come across. And I like how both names can be spelled with a 'Z' but u chose 'X' istead.





Tisha Campbell from "Martin" has a son named Xen so that's showing that names that start with X are unique and hard to find!
