Tashara
Feminine
Tashara has three a's and no other vowel letter. That is unusual even in a made name, and it gives the word a very even shape: the same vowel three times, none of them stressed the same way, and nothing else on the page to break it up.

Where it comes from
Origin, sound and short forms
Our story of Tashara
A name written with one vowel letter throughout is easier to spell and harder to distinguish. Every a in it is doing a different job in speech, since English reduces unstressed vowels to a neutral sound and gives the stressed one a full value, so the three letters stand for two or three different sounds; but a listener writing the name down has only one letter to reach for, which makes it more robust to dictation than most. That is not an accident of taste so much as a consequence of the assembly method: names built out of the commonest syllables in circulation end up using the commonest letters, and in American naming the letter a is by a long way the commonest of all.
Meaningnot established
Not established
No source and no meaning. The name was assembled in the second half of the twentieth century from a front syllable and an ending both in wide circulation, and no record preserves an intention. Glosses that assign it to a language name the language and cannot produce the word.
Pronouncing Tashara
tuh-SHAR-uh
Three syllables with the stress in the middle. The outer two vowels are reduced to nothing and the middle one is full, so the three identical letters stand for two different sounds.

Questions parents actually ask
Fashion outlook
Tashara sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
