I LOVE it!I also pronounce it sah-MAH-ra. Although I've heard it pronounced sah-MARE-ah, and I like that as well.I know one Samara. She is probably about 35 now. She is the oldest in this sibset: Samara, Michal, Ava (22).
My cousin named her little girl Samara, but pronounces it sah-MAIR-uh. It's okay, not one of my favorites, but not bad either. I do like it better than Samira.
What do you think of Samara? I kind of like it. I think it is potential, but for me all I think of is the Ring, not a good thing for me.I pronounce it sah-MAH-ra. - I never heard it that way only sah-MARE-uh. I prefer it the more common way.Do you know anybody named Samara? Nope
I know a Samira, she's in her 20s and a Muslim from Bosnia. She was named after her father Samir. Not a fan of either Samara or Samira, but I do like Semir (m).
