Share Your Thoughts 7 Comments Autum Cater Sep 1 at 8:42 am My babies name is Lara. I chose this name because i could feel she was going to be strong, free spirited, and i hope adventurous. Her father and i are big gamers and nerds and my favorite game series besides assassin creed is Tomb Raider. So i named her after a strong female character, Lara Croft. To make her name even stronger, her middle name is the name of the strongest and most resilient woman i have ever known. My grandmother, Germaine. My daughters name is Lara Germaine. Reply Lara Apr 17 at 7:27 am My maiden name is Lara husband’s sur name is McTague, his middle name is Francis. We named our daughter LARA FRANCES MCTAGUE. She. Is proud of her name! Reply Renee Nov 16 at 8:20 pm It just suits her Reply Renee Nov 16 at 8:18 pm Not really sure how we found it but my partner loved it and it suits her Reply Lara Jun 24 at 5:39 am We live in South Africa and wanted a name that you could pronounce in our local languages as well as in English. We came upon the name watching Lara Croft – haha. Dad loved the brave and adventurous character. We wanted the name to be easy to pronounce as dad and myself both have difficult names. We loved the simplicity of the name! Reply Lara Jun 6 at 2:22 pm I was named Lara after the character in Doctor Zhivago. I’m almost 40 and people have NEVER known how to pronounce my name! I hear people mispronounce Lara Croft all the time too. Glad it’s easier where you are! Reply Lara Mar 7 at 8:29 pm My story is the same!
