I can’t think of anything “bad” or “negative” about the name Lara. It’s quite a nice, underused name imo.

Lara

I remember first hearing this name when I was in high school when a friend of mine and I started watching The L Word of which one of the love interests was a character named Lara. Though the character wasn't on for very long and I don't remember her doing anything in particular that was infamous. Lara is a pretty name in much better to the alternative Laura... with that said it is worth taking into consideration that she may be called Laura... at least occasionally. With that said I will throw in my two cents and suggest the name Lyra. It's a very similar to Lara and distinct enough people won't mistake it for something else. Both are great names though.

I would say something to keep in mind is the potential for pronunciation confusion - some people will say it "LAH-rah" and some will say it "LAIR-ah".

Lara is absolutely beautiful.

I can't think of any other obvious associations other than the ones mentioned.

Love it

I mostly like it. Dr. Zhivago was always my main association. A far less appealing one in recent years, though, is Lara Trump. If you are not in the US, that may not be much of a thing.

I like it, I think of Lara from the book Looking for Alaska by John Green.
