As a sister for Naomi. Is it too poncey/too much of a mouthful?

DS would've been Aurelia. Lovely name.

Thanks everyone! I also love Aurelia so may go with that Smile

I think Aurelia might be better with Naomi, I have a friend with a little girl called that who gets called Aurie for short which is also nice...

There was a thread on Aurora the other day? Still sounds a dog chewing a toffee - sorry OP.

autumnmoon · 31/03/2016 16:32

i knew a gorgeous red-haired Aurora ...but still don't like the name if I'm honest as it's so difficult to say, especially for children. I find it a real mouthful!

SkodaLabia · 31/03/2016 16:32

Too Disney for me too, sorry.

MamaLazarou · 31/03/2016 16:31

(Naomi is gorgeous, though)

MamaLazarou · 31/03/2016 16:30

It sounds wishy-washy and faintly ridiculous to me.

BushDiggle · 31/03/2016 16:08

Too Disney for me!!! Sorry

LemonLuLu · 31/03/2016 11:54

Beautiful name and sounds absolutely fine with Naomi.

jemappelle that's EatSh1tDerek not EatSh1tDerek
possible impersonator

Jemappelle · 31/03/2016 05:54

eatshitderek wrong thread? ShockHmm

UptownFlunk · 31/03/2016 01:17

Came on to suggest Aurelia too. Much prettier than Aurora in my opinion.

AGnu · 31/03/2016 01:11

If you're bothered by the Disney connection, Aurelia could be an alternative.

FatFrillyFilly · 31/03/2016 01:04

I know an Aurora & her mother never shortens it & hopes it never will be shortened.

Naomi & Aurora is a bit of a mouthful but it could go.

ASpiderInThebath · 30/03/2016 22:03

I love the name Aurora and Rora rather than Rorie as a nickname. I think it goes fine with Naomi.

PointlessUsername · 30/03/2016 21:57

Love that Name.

Doesn't sound right with Naomi

CalacasSG · 30/03/2016 21:55

Aurora is nice enough. However, I agree, it's a bit hard to say! I do like the NN Rorie though Smile

originalmavis · 30/03/2016 21:45

I like it. I know a few Italian Aurora's.

One of my favourites but DH veto'd Sad but turned out to be a boy so I have more time to nag...

bekindtome · 30/03/2016 21:40

I love this name but it's been vetoed by all my family. I was surprised about the princess connection as I didn't know this until it was pointed out to me. The main problem is my mum and son can not say it so I've had the go for another name.

EatSh1tDerek · 30/03/2016 21:36

Over-reaching, a tad. Are you generally quite insecure?

AngharadTheSplendid · 30/03/2016 21:34

Ive been wondering the same thing today, but after saying it out loud a few times I decided it is a bit too tricky to say. I also don't like Rory which I think would be inevitable. It's a beautiful name though.
