Sara(h): H or no H?

There is a certain Sarah with an “H” whom I would prefer never to hear from again so I think my judgment is skewed right now!

I’m a no H. I’m pretty sure that spelling it with an H makes you an douche bag. Not entirely sure though.

i like “sara”

I’m also a no ‘h’. We tend to be a little cooler than the ones with the ‘h’. I get into arguments with my friend, Sarah, about this… But she just doesn’t seem to agree with me for some reason.

Just to be a rebel, I prefer the H.

I think no “h” looks prettier, more elegant. With the “h” makes me think of a little girl.

I think the “no H” is winning :D

I think it looks sort of naked without the ‘h’, IMHO.

No, no, jsc, you have it all wrong. It looks bold, new and special without the ‘h’.

When I see it with an ‘h’, all I can hear is “Baaaa”.

I jest, which I hope is obvious. ;)

For some reason, I associate the ‘H’ with an English name, and no ‘H’ with an American name. I have no idea why…

You guys are starting to convince me! Say no to the ‘h’!

So full name is actually Sara N. Wrapper?

Que sara, sarah? Whatever will be, will be.

H.

@funkdaddy Thank goodness I don’t have an h, Sarah N. Wrapper doesn’t make any sense.

My first name is Sara, my last name starts with an N.

@Alfreda: My best friend says that all the time when he’s around me and it drives me up a freaking wall.

I think it looks better with the H. Plus backwards it spells Haras!

+1 for the H.

I like to make things complicated and answer in my own special way, so I say Sarafina, or Sara for short, though I like Sarah too. They’re all good.

in for no H

I think the H is more old-fashioned and biblical so I kind of like it for that. Sara is more trendy and newish which I also kind of like. My children would each have been Sarah, but they turned out be Colin and David!

They are different names, to me, pronounced differently. As in Sarah is S-air-a(h), and Sara is S-are-a.

I tthink in England – and maybe Australia – they are pronounced differently, but in America the same.

@Zaku
Wouldn’t it be Serafina, with an e?

With an H, of course!
Seriously though, I prefer whichever one fits their personality the best.
Meaning, it depends on the person. Yes, that is my cop-out answer.

@aidje – Good question but I think not necessarily – I think Sarafina is a less common variant of Serafina, as this site says.

Sarah-with-an-H is a little more old-fashioned. It’s the spelling used in the Bible for the wife of Abraham. I have always regarded Sara as an attempt to modernize the look of a very old, traditional name, and for that reason I think of it as a pleasant but unnecessary variant.
