We’ve arrived at birth month hooray! (Unless I go over a fair bit!)
But we are still no closer to naming this little one, our 5th girl out of 6 children
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] has been the forerunner this whole time with myself and the children but husband is, as usual the pooper of the party
I love the nickname [name_u]Rory[/name_u] or [name_f]Rora[/name_f] (as the smallest is already calling her) but starting to wonder if [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], while beautiful and very cute on a child, also works for a grown up?
I met a teenaged [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] recently and it seemed to work for her! Plus, your [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] would be growing up with other Auroras so it won’t feel out of place!
[name_f]Elora[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f], [name_f]Leonora[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] ‘Rory’ came to mind
I find [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] sounds very grown up and not childlike at all. It sounds regal rather than cartoonish, from the fairy tale/animated associations.
I like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and think it’s fine for a grown up. Yes there’s the fairy tale thing but it sounds very stately. [name_f]Elena[/name_f] is also nice, and I’m going to add the suggestion of [name_f]Adeliza[/name_f].
Oh I love [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and really think it works for any age. As someone else pointed out, it’s more popular with this generation than ever before so it will soon become more of a ‘normal’ adult name even if it doesn’t seem that way to everyone now.
I think [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] sounds great on all ages! I also think Rory/Rori is a very sweet nick name and I also quite like the nick name Rowa (Row-a) for it.
I know a grownup [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and it’s totally okeydokey. She has long blond hair and she still somehow manages to be one of the most tomboyish woman I have ever met! I adore the name! I loooveee it, but I become doubtful about it ever since I saw a tiktok of a little [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and people were mocking her name in the comments. Most had never head the name before (how?!) and they thought it sounded like a roar. I might put it back to my top list honestly, I love it.
To be honest it does feel childish for me, but I know a grown up [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and she brings it well! Don’t worry at all!!!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite from your favourites is [name_f]Adelina[/name_f]!
I think it’ll work in her generation as other have said! It’s quite an authoritative name in face. I personally prefer [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] but not as easy a jump to [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. Good luck!
I think Auroa would / will age perfectly fine. I wouldn’t be surprised to meet someone with this name whether they were 3, 13, 30, or 60. It has a beautiful, soft ageless feel to me.
yes aurora 100% works on all ages !! i’ve encountered a couple of auroras from my mum’s generation, and one in her early twenties, as well as small children. it’s always struck me as basically a classic, and i think it’s gorgeous and versatile !
I can definitely see [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] on any age! I think it’s elegant and mature. The nicknames are great too!
If your partner sort of likes [name_f]Elena[/name_f], I second @Greyblue’s suggestion of [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]! It shares a lot of characteristics with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], and has many nickname options.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], and I think it definitely suits all ages. I know several adult Auroras and it suits them. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is my favorite out of your list
It’s still the only name that my heart says is right. I try to like [name_f]Elena[/name_f] as much but can’t quite get past it being a little too similar in sound to eldest (who was [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f] before she decided she didn’t like that).
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] is very lovely, but husband’s sister is [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and I have a sister too and it could be awkward to honour one and not the other.
Really just hoping I can get husband on board (in fairness I think it’s my turn as he had more say last time) He has most recently suggested [name_f]Boudicca[/name_f] which is an… interesting but strong choice I suppose. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not a patch on [name_f]Aurora[/name_f].
Funnily enough I dislike the [name_f]Disney[/name_f] connection, much prefer it’s origin and association with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] Borealis which has been glimpsed here in the UK quite often recently
That’s a bold suggestion! Have y’all thought any about middles? It could be a good way to combine both of your preferences, each name leaning more towards one of your styles.
“Funnily enough I dislike the [name_f]Disney[/name_f] connection, much prefer it’s origin and association with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] Borealis which has been glimpsed here in the UK quite often recently”
Our [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] was named for the northern lights connection! We dislike the [name_f]Disney[/name_f] princess association as well haha
To answer your original question: yes, [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is a name that ages well! If anything, I thought at first it almost seemed too grown up of a name for a child. There is a teacher at my daughter’s school named [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and she is probably in her early to mid twenties and she wears it well.
Another [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] mom whose not a fan of the [name_f]Disney[/name_f] movie! We loooove the northern lights, though! [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter is half and half [name_u]Rory[/name_u] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. She’s thirteen and loves her name
She has long blond hair and she still somehow manages to be one of the most tomboyish woman I have ever met!
