So I’m writing a story in which the main character has the nickname [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. Their name cannot be [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. That’s kinda how the plot kicks off, with another character thinking that [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is named [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and dragging her into this magic world believing she’s meant to be part of it.
Rory’s surname is [name_u]Alden[/name_u], and her middle name is undecided. The story is set in the UK, or the start of it is.

Here’s a few that I think you could use.
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]
Lorianna
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
You could also have her first and middle name start with an R. Like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Rae[/name_u] or something like that and then give her [name_u]Rory[/name_u] as a nickname.

[name_u]Rory[/name_u] used to be considered a nn for Roderick; but it also could be an anglicized form of Ruadh/Ruaidh in Gaelic. It means redhaired so if your character has auburn or red hair, [name_u]Rory[/name_u] could just be the nn for that.
