Aurora & Sebastian

Would you think parents of an Aurora and Sebastian were big Disney fans? Is it an obvious connection between the two or am I over thinking it?

Our eldest is Aurora (not named after the Disney princess lol) and we're considering Sebastian if we have a boy this time around. We have two other children whose names aren't associated with Disney too (to my knowledge anyway lol) Thanks!

Aurora is on my list of baby names and not because I’m a Disney fan. I actually didn’t know who Aurora was until I watched Once Upon a Time. But I like the name and I like the possibility of shortening it to Rory or Rorie

Yeah, I've only got girls. So I'm not really well up on the names of the princesses!!!

I'm shocked that Aurora is not well known as Sleeping Beauty's name. It's been the most common association we've had with her name... Maybe that's because Disney will be popular to her peers and therefore their parents.

It wouldn't spring to my mind immediately but I might consider that. Sleeping beauty name being Aurora isn't that well known. I think if it were Ariel and Sebastian it would be silly lol x

I never knew sleeping beauty was called aurora!!!

I mean, Disney's great but I wouldn't class myself as a fan, @ASAS lol. I'm not sure if it's something I want to come across as through our children's names either.

Sleeping Beauty, @kenanfbarbie and wet is fine... My son and youngest daughter's names (and her nickname) have firm places on the wet thread lol. We're passed worrying about that lol. They're far from wet in personality lol.

I do have a neighbor who is a bit overweight and wears purple who is called Ursula though. I always get her song stuck in my head if I have to talk to her about anything Smile

I didn't think of Disney, I just thought they were gorgeous names, especially together

ASAS · 21/08/2018 20:24

Just realised Aurora and Sebastian would have 2 non Disney siblings, which changes everything and makes the entire Disney link less obvious!

kenandbarbie · 21/08/2018 20:24

I don't remember a princess Aurora, which was she?

Sebastian doesn't remind me of Disney at all, I know it's the crab in the little mermaid, but it wouldn't be what I'd think of. I don't like the name though, I find it a bit 'wet'. I like it as the nn Seb though.

I know Aurora as Italian. She has Italian named siblings. On her own I'd think sleeping beauty though.

Up to you. Are you a huge Disney fan?
