Thoughts on the name Aura?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Aurora is a very pretty name with a similar sound. Laura is lovely too and not that common these days.

Awful sorry

A lifetime of misspelled and mispronunciations await the poor child...

Not keen

Negative connotations for me, sorry.

This name is common in South America but it's actually pronounced "Ow-ra" I quite like it pronounced like that but not "Or-ra" because that's a migraine symptom.

It’s the name given to the sensation many suffers get right before migraines and epileptic fits, not a pleasant association for a child’s name.

It will get misheard as Laura every time.

Maybe Aurora? I agree with a PP.

No. It brings to mind migraines and Rita. It looks pretty in writing but doesn't sound nice at all. Very ugly in fact.
