I adore [name_f]Iris[/name_f], though I love [name_f]Athena[/name_f] a huge amount.

Three of my favorites! This was so difficult but I went with my current #1 name [name_f]Iris[/name_f] :). I don’t think the Sleeping Beauty reference is too much with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] but, personally that’s one of the reasons I love it so…

I like them all!

I went with [name_f]Iris[/name_f], because I like how it is also a flower name in addition to a mythological name.

But if you want to highlight the mythological element (goddess of wisdom…and war…), then I think [name_f]Athena[/name_f] is an absolutely gorgeous name.

With [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], I like the way it looks written down, and I think the associations (including Sleeping Beauty) are all lovely, but it just doesn’t sound appealing to me when I say it out loud (maybe a question of accent?).

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] is one of my favorites!

I picked [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] because I think it is gorgeous and the nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is very sweet. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is a very close second!

I love [name_f]Iris[/name_f], and I feel neutral about [name_f]Athena[/name_f]. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], though, is the best of the three, imo. It’s is so brilliant. I do immediately think of Sleeping Beauty, and I @sparkleninja18, that’s a not a bad thing. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is beautiful:) But I will add that you can’t go wrong, whichever you choose.

Gorgeous names! I adore mythological names (my babies both have ties to mythology). My favorite of these is [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] because I love the mythology, [name_u]Rory[/name_u] as a nickname, the Sleeping Beauty association, as well as the Northern Lights coloration. Seriously, there are so many amazing things about the name [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]!!! However, if you want it to be more obvious that it is a name you chose for mythological purposes [name_f]Athena[/name_f] is best. I adore the [name_f]Goddess[/name_f] [name_f]Athena[/name_f]. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] would be 3rd for me.

I love all three, but [name_f]Athena[/name_f] is my favourite at the moment, as I personally feel it has more strength behind it (don’t really know how to put it better) and I really like the wisdom connection.

I choose [name_f]Iris[/name_f] as it was a name I was loving but my partner rejected it and I placed it on an animal and now he loves it.
I love that [name_f]Iris[/name_f] has that greek mythology tie but it is also a nature name and also the [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Nebula[/name_f]!
Argh I wish I didn’t cave and use it on my animal as it is full of history and character.

Thanks for all of the replies. Anymore opinions? :slight_smile:

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] is my top fav of those 3, but [name_f]Athena[/name_f] is nearly tied. [name_f]Athena[/name_f] is such a strong name, I feel like a girl named [name_f]Athena[/name_f] would have a confidence boost knowing they’re named after a goddess of wisdom. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is my top fav bc it’s a flower AND has connections to the rainbow/goddess as well. It’s like a 2-for-1 deal!
