What would you name the twin sister of a girl named [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]?
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is the [name_m]Roman[/name_m] goddess of the dawn, and so it means dawn. So I would like something that means a time of day, like dusk or twilight or night. [name_u]Or[/name_u] maybe something that means light or refers to the stars, planets, or moons.
[name_u]Sky[/name_u]-y Names:
[name_u]Sol[/name_u] - [name_f]Sun[/name_f]
[name_f]Soleil[/name_f] - [name_f]Sun[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] - [name_f]Star[/name_f]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] - [name_f]Star[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] - [name_f]Moon[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] - [name_m]Roman[/name_m] god of the moon
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u] - [name_f]Diana[/name_f]'s Greek equivalent
[name_f]Selene[/name_f]/a - Greek god of the moon
[name_u]Nyx[/name_u] - Greek god of [name_u]Night[/name_u]
[name_f]Eos[/name_f] - Greek god of [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]'s equivalent
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] - A constellation
I like the idea of choosing a second name related to a time of day, light or stars. Here are some ideas:
Ayla
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_u]Elia[/name_u]/ [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f]/ [name_f]Estella[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] (constellation)
My favorite combos are:
Aurora & [name_f]Clara[/name_f] - classy
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] & [name_f]Elena[/name_f] - latin vibe
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] & [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] - romantic
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] & [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] - ethereal

It would be cool to name [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]'s twin something representing dusk, sundown, twilight, purple, blue light etc. though sadly there are not many established names with that meaning 
Some I can think of,
[name_f]Tinuviel[/name_f] (‘daughter of twilight’)
[name_f]Serena[/name_f] (‘tranquil, serene’ I think [name_u]Twilight[/name_u]/Dusk is very much tranquil and serene, whereas [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]/Dawn announces boldly the light of the day)
Any [name_f]Eve[/name_f]- name to refer to [name_f]Evening[/name_f], such as [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] etc
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] feels kind of twilight-ish in it’s tragic-heroine vibes, and goes beautifully with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f].
[name_f]Ianthe[/name_f]/Ianthe (‘purple flower’)
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] is a name that has a kind of dark beauty to it, at least imho. I think of dark purple.
[name_f]Reverie[/name_f] is kind of twilighty in it’s meaning, sort of like you’re in a state of tranquility, remembering the day
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f], somewhat of a ‘darker’ sounding name, maybe due its Biblical associations, but I also think it sounds glorious with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]/Violet/Violetta etc. purple names!
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u] (‘evening star’)
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f] (in aromatherapy it helps people sleep)
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f] (very dark-feeling name)
[name_f]Twila[/name_f]/Twyla
[name_f]Laila[/name_f]/Layla/Leila (‘night’)
Other names
Ostara (super underrated name - Germanic goddess of dawn/springtime)
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] (‘bright, shining light’)
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] (‘star’)
[name_u]Aster[/name_u] (flower that resembles a star, also ‘star’ in Greek)
‘light’ names such as [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Luciana[/name_f], [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] etc.
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]/Vivienne (‘life’) love the meanings ‘life’ and ‘dawn’ together!
[name_f]Selena[/name_f]/Selene/Artemis/Diana (goddess of the moon)
[name_f]Celestia[/name_f]
[name_f]Calista[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] (not a related meaning, but I’ve always found [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] divine together)
[name_f]Elara[/name_f] (one of [name_u]Jupiter[/name_u]'s moons)
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] is epic with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] (‘divine queen’ and ‘goddess of dawn’)
[name_f]My[/name_f] computer is about to die so I’ll stop there!
