[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Saraya?
Saraya is one of my closest friends mn. Her mother choose it (from a book, I believe) as a variation of Sarah. I suspect it was a variation of Soraya, influenced by the popularity of Sarah. I would be using it to honour her.As for the British-esque names I've paired it with, well, that is a big part of my naming style, I suppose. My children are George, Adelaide, and Cecily. Saraya doesn't exactly "fit" with those, another reason it had been put in the mn slot for so long.Edited to add:
Saraya Liora and Saraya Lucia are both lovely!

Awww :)But I'm pretty sure it was from a friend, not a book. I can't remember. But I shoudl probably find out, seeing as it's my name and all. But yes, she definitely chose it as an elaborate version of Sarah.
