Lara

• I like Lara for the simple reason that it's Lara Croft's name.  It carries the image of a stong, indepedent woman.
• Lara sounds strong and confident, whilst also elegant, pretty, & feminine. It conjures a dignified yet fun image, and it's relative uncommoness is quite desirable.
• Lara Christine: again this name holds honor to my aunt Christine, and also power.  The meaning of lara is "protector".  and meaning of Christine is "the anointed one"

Lara is a Russian short form of the name Larisa. Larisa comes from a place name in ancient Thessaly whose name means "citadel."
