I've heard the name twice, once online and it's the name of a talkative little girl.I was surprized to see the name here. I had no idea it was derived from Sarah. I thought it was from Mariah. As far as my experince with the name,it is easy to remember and spell, and it is a less common sounding version of its original.

Commentary on the name Sarai:
In the Bible, Abram and Sarai were the original names of the couple whom God blessed and renamed Abraham and Sarah. Abram has a familar sound in English but Sarai has always been rare and exotic. In the past few years that has begun to change. It is still uncommon, but increasingly fashionable.
