I like Aurora nicknamed Rory and Aurelia nicknamed Rae. Which do you prefer?

Aurora, I like Rory too.
I really don't like Aurelia (sorrry!)

Aurora, love Rory.

Aurora, but I'd call her Aurora. Its such a beautiful elegant name.
I wouldn't want it shortned.

I love Aurora but not Rory for a girl! Aura?
Nicknames and shorter versions tend to evolve rather than picking them out before the baby arrives.

Aurelia.

I think of Rory as very much a boys' name, I don't like it for a girl at all.

I love both full names. But she'll inevitably be nicknamed by her siblings so the shortenings need consideration too.

Aurora was on our shortlist for DD so I would go for that!

Aurora nn Rory
Or, just Aurelia. Such a beautiful name shouldn't be shortened. Not to Rae!
