Middle name for Aurora

Aurora is a strong contender for our daughter but I’m not sure if the middle names we like go with it? Daisy, Lily, Margot, Willow and Xanthe, leaning more towards Margot or Willow. Does it matter if they don’t flow? Suggestions welcome.

I still like it though. Aurora Violet Smith for instance. Nice flow

Wait that's 3. Lol

I think if your last name is one syllable than the middle should be two. Maybe Aurora Violet?

I think a two-syllable name is fine - I tend to think one-syllable middle names give an impression of filler names, even if they are in themselves nice names. I'd go for something that starts with a consonant and is more simple than Aurora. Margot is my favourite out of your suggestions - it has a bit of oomph to it.

Just go with a short name

Our surname is one syllable so it’s going to be difficult to find something just flows with that also. Quinn sounds great with Aurora but doesn’t with our surname, for example. Needs to be two syllables to bridge the gap I think as I don’t want to go four plus.

It needs to be something short (1 syllable) otherwise it will be a big mouthful and sound complicated rather than flowing.
