Sister for Aurora?

52 replies

What would you name Aurora's sister?

Our current favourites are Violet and Penelope... Which do you think would work best out of these, if any?

Thanks!

@JadeT2 I love Thea! We really like Theodora with the nickname Thea but Rora and Dora lol. Theodore is our top boy name too.

Ooh, I like Thea. My daughter has a friend called Theadora who goes by Thea but it does have the advantage that it can also be used as Dora( ignoring any Explorers )

JadeT2 · 24/03/2018 10:51

We have a Thea to go with ours as they both have sky meanings.

I think Violet sounds ok with Aurora, really like Penelope Violet 👍🏼

@TatianaLarina Alliterarion is probably something I'd avoid altogether, thinking about it. It would get quite confusing with the post lol.

@TatianaLarina That's a plus to me, I don't see a need for names to belong in a theme. My only issue is if they are stylistically jarring together. Violet is actually the name I was most worried about because it's a nature name along with Aurora.

@Threeandabit Why does Donatella remind me of Donald Trump. Name ruined! Lol. Thank you for the lovely suggestions.

There’s no theme or pattern to them. They’re neither both Latin or both mythological or flower names, nor are they alliterative. They’re just randomly thrown together.

But they’re your kids I don’t care what you do! Grin

Threeandabit · 23/03/2018 20:33

I like Violet and Penelope.

Other suggestions: -

Mehreen - Means "Beautiful / Moon"
Donatella - Means "Beautiful Gift"
Petronella
Mitzi

Isadora
Julienne
Camilla / Camille
Deborah

Sarah
Zoe
Jade
Veronica

Maxine
Verity
Saskia
Imelda

No they don’t sound odd as siblings at all. I like Violet.

Does everyone agree that Aurora and Violet sound odd as siblings? We have a few Violet combinations we like as well as Penelope Violet.

@TatianaLarina Random? How so? I think they fit well together.

OP posts:
TatianaLarina · 23/03/2018 09:57

I think the repeated Rs in Aurora and Rosa are a bit of a mouthful.

I like Viola - hadn’t thought of that.

While I like the names individually - Aurora and Violet are a bit random together.

PetalMettle · 22/03/2018 21:24

I’d like something starry - Astrid, Stella or Seren.
Penelope is lovely though

Cmagic7 · 22/03/2018 21:23

Weird - I was going to say Penelope before I read that was one of your options.

I think we'd need to be careful if using another name ending in A. Rora and Rosa would be a bit too much for me, for example. The rhyming RA and LA in Aurora and Viola, too.

There are a lot of suggestions that we like here so thank you!

OP posts:
TatianaLarina · 22/03/2018 18:54

I agree Phoebe goes very well.

Otherwise I think I’d choose another ending in A.

Giuliana, Tatiana, Cassandra, Francesca, Gabriella, Rosa, Paloma
