[Opinions] Sarla
I came across this name in an Indian novel. I wouldn't use it unless I had a child with someone from the subcontinent, plus she'd get called Carla all the time, but I find it elegant and like the shape and sound of it. Thoughts?"We have to live without sympathy, don't we? That's impossible of course. We act it to one another, all this hardness; but we aren't like that really, I mean...one can't be out in the cold all the time; one has to come in from the cold...d'you see what I mean?”

It's not bad, and I'd probably like it in context, but since Rox posted all I can see is mistyped Starla. :)

I don’t have enough information to form an opinion. What’s the linguistic origin and meaning? Is it popular in its country of origin?

As a sci-fi geek, my first thought was “Sarlacc”. I can’t like it, sorry.

This is what happens when somebody types my name too fast and doesn't quite hit the t. It has happened more times than a few, and I've done it myself.

The Carla similarity didn't occur to me until you mentioned it. All I got was Sarah as an initial reaction. I like how Sarla looks, and I love how it sounds. It's just a little too close to Sarah which I'm not too fond of, although the more I consider it, the more I see it separately.
