I don’t mind the matching endings, but you could try [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] Diane?. I don’t personally struggle to pronounce [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], but when I was a kid, I had trouble with Rs, so a kid named [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] might be saying “Auwowa” for a while. [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is my favorite [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] nickname.

[name_f]Diana[/name_f] has a really deep meaning, my late mother who passed from covid and it’s important to me that stays as the firm middle. I can’t use [name_f]Diane[/name_f] for a few personal reasons (one being it’s a separate person in my life).

It’s fine together. Any problems would just be with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] on its own as you’ve mentioned, it’s a little bit of a tongue twister. [name_f]Aurla[/name_f] (Scottish form of the Irish Orla) is another possible nn. Loving [name_f]Diana[/name_f] btw, thinking of using as a middle name myself (in honour of [name_m]Roman[/name_m] goddess of the moon, wilderness, wild animals, fertility and the hunt). Amazing feminist archetype 
I think it works - i did find it a tad difficult to say together at first, but I’ve said it a few times and it got easier
Thank you for your responses
I love both names individually, I wouldn’t have put them together because of the repetitive ending but that said, since the middle is extremely personally significant I’d go with it! They are both beautiful and it’s a lovely connection to family.
It’s not alliterative at all, by definition? I do struggle to pronounce [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. [name_u]Auri[/name_u] and [name_f]Rora[/name_f] are tongue twisters, [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is nice enough, but I strongly prefer it on a boy.
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband is a huge fan of this name it’s meaning, it’s quite growing on me although the fear of pronunciation trouble is a factor.
i think it’s fine, a bit of repetitive sounds but its not a problem. I like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], i don’t have trouble saying it. i really like [name_u]Rory[/name_u] as a nn, [name_u]Auri[/name_u] is nice too.
In this case yes, it’s too alliterative having them both be together like that though the sounds dont clash enough to be considered unattractive, it just sounds off.
A few combos I think would suit you better:
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Aurore[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Diane[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurore[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Diane[/name_f]
I am in full support of [name_f]Rora[/name_f] as the nickname though, can’t believe it was never considered above [name_u]Rory[/name_u] by the mainstream 
Makes sense, thank you. [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is firm however as a middle, I won’t use [name_f]Diane[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. The combo is kind of fancy-ish, not perfect. However, I can overlook imperfect for you to honor your late mother. Two classy names.
Can’t seem to get this combo out of my head
I think it’s beautiful!! I have no problem pronouncing Aurora and I love names that end in A. Both my daughters’ first and middle names end in A actually too :).
And for nn I like Rora or Rory! My thoughts are that once she’s born one will naturally start to roll off your tongue more frequently and it will be a natural process of which nickname is right for her.
