Your Opinions on Aurora

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] y’all! I’m thinking of using the name [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], because it has a dear meaning to me, but the ‘ror’ sound kind of throws me off? But I love the way it looks, what it means, the -ra ending, but it stunts me a little bit when I say it

I would likely use [name_f]Aura[/name_f] as a nickname, but what do you think of the full name [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]? What does it remind you of? What middle name would elevate the ethereal, majestic vives of [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]?

I invite you to sell me on using the name [name_f]Aurora[/name_f].

Thank you in advance!

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is beautiful! There are so many lovely associations- the princess, [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] Borealis, and the [name_m]Roman[/name_m] goddess of dawn, as some examples!

Maybe you would like [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] as a path to the nickname [name_f]Aura[/name_f]?

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] is pretty, but the way it sounds to me, I can only hear “I’ll rail ya.” (I also have the same issue with Ophelia)

I do like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] - so princessy yet strong! - but to me the double r sound just doesn’t quite roll off the tongue…

I like it! Very sweet princess vibes but then the roar sound in the middle makes me think of lions so the vibe ends up being more fierce princess.

To me it has princess vibes, as in [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] from Sleeping [name_f]Beauty[/name_f].

I think it’s really pretty, elegant, and makes me think of the celestials.

[name_f]Aura[/name_f] is also beautiful on it’s own, and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is a great sporty nickname.

It’s got a very magical quality & soulful sound. I always picture the aurora borealis when I hear the name so I also envision it as a very exquisitely colored name. I’m a fan of the nickname [name_f]Aura[/name_f] much more I am the usual nickname [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. I also like [name_f]Rora[/name_f] a lot too, it’s a bit of a different direction to go in.

Aurora…

Ultimate princess name she’s ever so girly, has strong princess feels, seems to ooze drama and I think any little girl would like to be called [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. I like the association with the outdoors through northern lights along with the sweet nickname [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. I think [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] feels fashionable and I have noticed that there has been an influx of Aurora’s being born which indicates that a lot of people enjoy the name just like myself.

I love [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], I think it is the ultimate [name_f]Princess[/name_f] name. [name_f]Aura[/name_f] is also pretty and a sweet nickname. I think that ror sound is cute, and it opens the nickname [name_u]Rory[/name_u] up for sale! :joy:

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is a beautiful name! However, I feel the name is a little heavy on the r’s.

i think of Sleeping Beauty, as well as the northern lights! aura is a fun nickname, and there’s also rory for a more gender neutral option. i do find aurora hard to say, though, which is what puts me off it. i love brynn’s suggestion of aurelia “aura”!

some middle names:
aurora margaux
aurora eloise
aurora cosette
aurora cressida
aurora faye
aurora loviisa

I find this name reminds me more of a lion than a princess. I can’t stop hearing that ‘ror’ sound. I’d consider [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] though. It can be pronounced different ways. You don’t have to pronounce it as Aur-ray-lia. You can say Aur-ee-lia if you prefer. Otherwise, why not have [name_f]Aura[/name_f]? It’s a perfectly legitimate name.

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is bright, ethereal and stylish, princessy with a bit of earthiness and toughness. It feels elegant but not fussy. It reminds me of the aurora borealis, the [name_f]Disney[/name_f] [name_f]Princess[/name_f] and just Instagramable/stylish-name-vibes?

Middles I’d consider:

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_u]Cadence[/name_u]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Sigrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]

[name_f]Pretty[/name_f], well known but not overly used. Difficult to pronounce. [name_f]Aura[/name_f] is an intuitive nickname but is used in the medical field.

[name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s name. She is softness and sass, lion and lamb, giggles and go get 'em all rolled into one amazing kid. I could not picture her with any other name.

People warned up her name would be difficult for people to pronounce and guess what? [name_m]Zero[/name_m] issues so far; she is frequently complimented on her name. At most her baby cousins called her “Woahwa” which has evolved into “Rora” as they’ve gotten older and honestly it’s adorable.
