Got some really good suggestions already here so closing thread.
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] is a great alternative!
For what it’s worth, I’ve never met an [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]! I live in Australia btw.
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] is a great suggestion!
What about…
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] - I think that [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] really encompasses the spunky yet feminine nature of [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. [name_f]Trixie[/name_f], in my opinion, holds the sass of [name_u]Rory[/name_u], and [name_f]Bea[/name_f], the sweetness of [name_f]Rora[/name_f].
[name_f]Callista[/name_f] - I definitely think [name_f]Callista[/name_f] fits the magical feeling that you’re after. And the nickname options of [name_f]Callie[/name_f] or [name_f]Calla[/name_f] are rather whimsical in my option!
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - Like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] is ultra feminine yet holds a rather down to earth nature as well!
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] - Though it doesn’t really have many nickname options besides Han, I don’t think it needs to be shortened anyway! This again is a very sweet name and versatile too; much like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]!
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] - [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] is rather different to the other names I’ve suggested, but I really think it would work as an alternative to [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]! [name_f]Indy[/name_f] is such a beautiful nickname in my opinion too :).
[name_f]Maia[/name_f]/[name_f]Maya[/name_f] - Again, [name_f]Maia[/name_f]/[name_f]Maya[/name_f] doesn’t have any nicknames options, however I think this name is one of the most similar to [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. It sounds rather princessy but kind of with a tomboy twist if you follow :).
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] - This sounds very much like a fairy name! Very beautiful, very feminine and with many nickname options I’m sure you’d find your favourite!!
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] - so so pretty! [name_f]Summer[/name_f] is probably my favourite season name and for great reason. With a very carefree nature about it, [name_f]Summer[/name_f] is both feminine but chill.
[name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] - Similar to [name_f]Summer[/name_f] however with a slightly more put together feel. It feels very unique but not made up and the nickname [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] is cute too!
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name! I’m pretty sure it is relatively common, but I’ve only ever met one. It definitely holds the spacey and whimsical nature that you are after!
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is becoming increasingly more popular however is yet to be the name four girls are wearing in your daughters class. I personally find the nickname [name_u]Billie[/name_u] very cute on a girl but you may beg to differ! [name_f]Willow[/name_f] feels very whimsical and fairy like in my opinion so a great option I think!
[name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] - [name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] can be pronounced a few different ways but my personal favourite is Yaz-Mean. It is definitely not as popular as [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] so is still pretty unique. Very fairy, spacey in my opinion!
So I hope you like some of these, or lead you too your favourite!! Good luck :).

First thing I thought of was [name_f]Aura[/name_f]!
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] was the next thing that came to mind.
