What are your thoughts on these names? What "vibe" do you get from them?

Thanks in advance!

Sula is the name for a genus of seabirds which includes boobies, such as the blue-footed booby, Sula nebouxii

Sula or Aurora?

Sula, less of a mouthful than Aurora, and very pretty too.

I think I'd go with Sula. It's short, unusual and feminine all of which I like.

I find Aurora a bit too "princessy".

Aurora

Aurora.

It would have been my choice for a girl.
Nuff said.

I'm looking for something cool/edgy/quirky, so I'm glad you get that vibe from Aurora. I was thinking that it may be too frilly which is something I don't want.

I'm not sure about Sula yet, I only heard it for the first time today. I pronounce it as Sue la!

Hello OP!

Personally, I prefer Aurora from your shortlist. It's quite a cool name, and slightly edgy (in a good way). Unfortunately, I have heard that some small children struggle to pronounce it due to the 'R' sounds. Another reason why I prefer Aurora is simply because I know how to pronounce it, and I'm not sure how to say Sula, I'm afraid! Is it pronounced as Sue-la or Su-lla? Smile
