[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Alara?...
in reply to a message by starz26
I like it, but I don't know if I'd actually use it. Apparently, it's the name of an insect genus, which I find to be a bit of an odd association, but the insect isn't all that bad looking.
Here are a few links:

Alara is also the name of a card block in Magic: The Gathering.
All in all, I'd say it has a touch of familiarity because it's a close to Alana and Lara, yet it also has a fantasy-esque feel. I'd be prepared for people to mix it up with Alana and Lara unfortunately, though.
