Is Aurora considered trendy now?

Girl Names

With its popularity and Disney connection, is [name]Aurora[/name] considered a trendy name now? [name]Just[/name] found out that I am in the early weeks of my second pregnancy and if this one is a girl, I would like to consider it. However, I cannot stand trendy names (no matter how beautiful) since I remember always being one of two-four Amandas in class, so I am conflicted about keeping [name]Aurora[/name] for a first name.

So…[name]Aurora[/name]. Trendy or no?

Thanks :slight_smile:

It’s too classic to be trendy. Only problem is it’s so hard for little ones to pronounce.

[name]Aurora[/name] isn’t trendy. The main strike against it is that it isn’t a liquid name. The two Rs give it substance and weight, which is something many of the trendy and/or currently popular girls’ names just don’t have. That said, there were only 1890 girls named [name]Aurora[/name] in 2012. Compare that to [name]Sophia[/name] which was given to 22,158 baby girls. [name]Don[/name]'t let rankings deceive you. [name]Aurora[/name] isn’t that popular.

ETA: Whoops, just saw that you’re in [name]Canada[/name]. Guess those numbers aren’t relevant, but my guess is that [name]Aurora[/name] is less popular in [name]Canada[/name] than it is in the US.

I’ve never met someone named [name]Aurora[/name] in real life. I like it, due to the Disney connection. A good friend of mine was considering it for her daughter a few years ago, and I totally wish she would of used it instead of [name]Caitlin[/name]. :rolleyes:

I think its mentioned a little bit on nameberry but in real life i think its pretty rare. Still a known name so a good choice in my opinion.

As a school teacher I have only met one [name]Aurora[/name] (so not common at all) and I think it is very pretty but I did not keep it on my list as many people find it hard to say :slight_smile:

[name]Aurora[/name] is beautiful. And [name]Rory[/name] or [name]Ro[/name] are really cute nicknames!

I definitely wouldn’t worry about it being trendy, and it’s very pretty name. I echo pp though, that it is definitely hard for children (and some adults) to pronounce.
