Looking for a girl's name that means dawn.
I actually quite like Dawn.
Don't want to use Aurora, just not for me.
I do like Ayelet, "dawn hind/gazelle" in Hebrew.
Stumbled across Aubeline, which allegedly means dawn in French but is potentially way too much like aubergine.
Help!

Aube is French for dawn, and a lovely name in its own right. Otherwise, on the Lucy theme, I used to know a Lucina (Loo-chee-na).

Oriana is dawn I think?
And Zara means to blossom .

I've woken up feeling really positive and excited about Gloria!

Do not call your child Gloria. The poor thing.

I think the Gloria on Modern Family will make the name a little bit more mainstream.

Oriana - sunrise
Danica - morning star (think it's pron. Dan-eesha)
Lux - light

I like Gloria Joy. It's different but not faddy, and it's got a lovely fresh feel. I'd do it.

Gloria Joy is beautiful. Maggie Gyllenhaal has a baby daughter called Gloria so it's probably back in fashion!

One of the meanings of Zara is 'radiant dawn'.

Gloria is lovely.
Vita is one of my favorite names though

I still like Gloria Joy!
I like Vita as well but for some reason it's not grabbing me for this baby.
Zara - I like, but I've got a very good friend with a 4yo Zara which feels a bit close to home
Lux - I feel I should like but, having grown up in Australia where I think the brand might have been bigger, it's still a soap to me
Oriana - love the look and sound, but there's the cruise ship dimension
Danica - not keen on this one; not sure why....
There have been some really great suggestions on this thread but Gloria Joy just has something about it, even though it's not remotely what I started off wanting!!

So you're sorted!

Now all I need to do is push the baby out. Simples
