First Impressions
AI-WrittenThe name reads as a modern edit of an ancient text, trading a soft ending for a sharp diphthong. With an average bearer age of eighteen, it belongs firmly to campus study lounges and learner permit photos. It carries none of the midcentury playground associations attached to Sarah. A Sarai is generally pictured as someone who has never handled a physical roll of film.
