Aurora or Sage?

[abbie777]

We like either Aurora or Sage for our baby girl, which one do you like better? Is Aurora too common now?

[NC4Now]

Sage. I always find Aurora a bit of a mouthful and Sage is lovely and underused

[newnewnewbuild]

Sage!

I wouldn't say Aurora was overused but it has definitely become more popular in recent years

[alexdgr8]

one sounds like orange squash
and the other like an accounting software.
so no.

[nocoolnamesleft]

I think this year Sage is too much about the scientific advisory group for emergencies.

[abbie777]

I honestly think we’re gonna go with Aurora but I like Sage too.

Sage is one of my guilty pleasure names, I really love the sound of it plus the fact it is both a nature/hippy sort of name and a word name with a nice meaning (synonym for wise). I don't know if I'd be brave enough to use it in the first name spot myself, but it's beautiful!

Aurora to me, has a very different vibe to Sage. I think the Disney Princess associations have overcome it's nature/hippy meaning (of the Aurora Borealis), so it maybe feels more frilly/girly than Sage? But it would probably be the "safer" of your choices since it's more well known.

[IamnotwhouthinkIam]

If you aren't using family names in the middle spot, Aurora Sage would be beautiful!

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Aurora is gorgeous. Sage is awful.

[XDownwiththissortofthingX]

Sorry, both sound like accountancy software packages to me.

[joystir59]

Saugacia sort of combines the two.

[BatleyTownswomensGuild]

Aurora has a beautiful meaning but is very hard for anyone with a speech impediment to say properly....

Sage is sweet

[TotalBitch]

I like both. I'd use Aurora as I like that you can shorten it.

[TotalBitch]

True re speech impediments though. Little children would also struggle to say it. There are lots of Rorys around though, which you could use as a shortening? Not sure it that helps as you would still get the r sounds, but I think Rory might be slightly easier.

Not that keen on Aurora but it's far nicer than Sage.

[Beni1993]

Sage is the name of the website I get my payslips on 😳😂 I love Aurora, it was a potential name for DD but DP vetoed it!

[Atalune]

I knew a Sage and he was a real free spirit, so I like that name. But for me it’s masculine.

Aurora- Disney princess. I don’t love it.

[Oneandabean]

Sage definitely, Aurora is far too frilly and lots of little ones will replace the r with W. Sage is beautiful and much less used

[Nell96]

Aurora is pretty, but maybe slightly frilly and a bit of a mouthful. Sage is truly terrible - please don't.

[Angel2702]

Sorry safe and onion, software and scientists would rule that out completely for me.

[YukoandHiro]

Sage is usually a name for a boy isn't it?

[Whatsyourflava]

Aurora is a lovely choice
Sage i think of "sage advice" and also thought it was for a boy. Not keen but ok for middle name

[pinkpinecone]

Aurora is lovely, Sage makes me think of stuffing

[Scarby9]

I prefer Sage.
Sorrel may be a good alternative if you can't choose?

[itsgettingweird]

I like them both.

But if I'm honest after 2020 Sage has an entirely different meaning to me now and I'd not want to call my kid that.

[EugenesAxe]

Well Sage is an accounts package but I am an accountant and 'wisdom' is the connection I made.

Personally I really like Sage and agree it sounds sweet. I know an Aurora... let's just say she puts me off the name.
