Personal experiences with the name Zara: | Edit

I am names after the store called "ZARA" and when i was little that was one of my moms favorite store to get clothes from!
Most people on the first time they see me pronounce my name as "Sarah" but have the first letter sound like a "Z". Dont let other people make that mistake. It really gets annoying!
