DD1 is Aurora, trying to think of a name for baby no.2 if it's a girl (we have a boy's name - Rufus).
The only names we have vaguely agreed on are Liberty & Arabella but I don't love them like i loved Aurora when we chose it.

I'm a big tennis fan so Serena is out as everyone would think I'd named her after the champ!

Athena makes me think of that poster shop but could be in - what nicknames would suit though?

When I think of Carolina all I think is it a place.

Been reading other threads for inspiration. I like Elspeth. Opinions?

Thanks for the suggestions. I love Alba but DH not so keen.

Elodie, Aurelia and Estella are lovely names but idk why I just don't like them - they sound too exotic to be paired with our boring English surname.

Love Luna but it's my mum's cat's name Confused

Please don't call her Liberty. I can only associate it with unbelievable chaviness.

I like Luna but spelled without the 'r'

Also Estella, and Nova which are both celestial on a theme with aurora (sort of)

I also think the name Elodie goes well with Aurora, and Anastasia too.

Athena?

I love Aurora and Aurelia.

What about Serena, or Carolina?

Lunar. Bronte. Fallon. Felicity.
Mirabelle. Maude. Amberly

I like a theme, so I offer you:

THEA — Greek goddess of light and mother of the sun
LARK — the bird that sings at dawn
ALBA –means dawn in Italian and Spanish
SOLEIL — sun in French
ARTEMIS –Greek moon goddess
LILITH — of the night
PHOEBE — another epithet for Greek moon goddess Artemis
