[Opinions] Tara
What do you all think of the name Tara?

Here it's always pronounced TAH ra. (I remember for a few minutes wondering what on earth the Buffy character's name was when she first appeared, because I was hearing Terror). It's okay - short and easy to spell, sounds nice enough. Not quite sure of the hows and whys, but it's got a much longer history than you'd think; I found Taras born here in the 1840s.
I really don't like it. It makes me think of a dinosaur. I'm not entirely sure why...probably a combination of the words pterodactyl and triceratops. And also I think it reeks of the 80s.

Pretty. I used to think it was made up and slightly trashy, but I like it much better now I know it means "star" in Sanskrit.
I know a really nice and gorgeous Tara so I have all good association with it.
It's a cute name. Kind of plain, but not a bad name. :)
It's okay. One of those names I don't have a strong opinion about. Yah.
I like Tara well enough. I just prefer the way it looks to the way it sounds.
I love it! I think it's cute and spunky. It was my old posting name years ago.
I like it, but at the same time I don't really see it as anything special.
It's all right, but all but one of the Taras I knew were pains in the butt.
