Hey everyone!
We want to name our child if it's a girl after a beloved relative, whose name was Sarah. However, Neither my husband nor I are crazy about that name. Her Jewish name would definitely be Sarah, but I don't think we would call her that...
Any ideas on variations?

Are you looking for a nickname? Suri, Sorele, Serka, Sally, Sadie
Or are you looking for other "S" names? Similar sound or meaning? English or Hebrew? Maybe "Malka" for a similar meaning. Personally, I love "Serach" but fear it would be constantly misspelled/mispronounced.
In English, "Sara" (first 'a' sound as in "pants") is pronounced slightly differently from "Sarah" (first 'a' is long as in "ate"). Would that help?

OP here.
Not necessarily looking for a nickname... Although maybe if we call her Sarah we don't have to actually CALL her Sarah every day...
I guess I'm looking for 2 options. Either nicknames for Sarah or similar sounding or meaning names for Sarah
Thanks!

What about Sarena?
It's my favorite name but we have a living Sarah in our family and I was told the names are too similar.

Sary, Sori, Suri, Sarale, Sosi
I happen to love the name Sarah on its own.

My daughter's middle name is Sarah.
Have you considered alternate meanings? I believe Sarah is a name of malchus or rulership, so some other options may be Malka, Atara, Henriette, Etta...
