What do you think of the name Alara?

On here it says for some background info:

Quote Alara appears in Turkic Mythology as a beautiful water fairy. She lives in the lakes and rivers of the Caspian basin and grants the wishes of those she deems worthy. She is said to be capable of repairing broken hearts and making them capable of love again.

I think it’s really cute! I would probably pair it with Alara Justine, maybe. But I’m not Turkish so I feel like I would only use it then.

I like it. You wouldn't have to be Turkish, it's easy to spell and pronounce and similar to a lot of other names like Alana, Alora, Amara, etc.

I don't like it with Justine.

I think it only works for someone with a Turkish last name or heritage.

Very pretty, similar to Alana but more unique!

I suppose it would sound like aLARa? No clue what Turkish people think of it, but it sounds like a name for a burglar alarm company to me.
