Aurora was originally our favourite, but I love Meadow too!! I’m so indecisive, which one do you like best?

I love Aurora

Meadow.

Aurora is the worst of the disney princesses.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 01/01/2021 00:11

Meadow for me.

brimfullofasha · 01/01/2021 00:10

I prefer Aurora. Have you considered Aurelia?

Charlottejbt · 01/01/2021 00:08

Aurora.

Sorry but I hate them both. But Aurora is marginally better as at least you could call her Rory.

Meadow? Er.... just no.

Aurora - nice, but only if she can pronounce her 'r's.

Aurora. I wouldn't like to have to introduce myself as Meadow.

Kanaloa · 31/12/2020 23:21

Aurora for sure, it’s a nice name. I wouldn’t like to be named Meadow.

I have a Durham accent, I think it sounds nice in my accent and my family don't have trouble saying it. I have quite a neutral accent and I don’t sound too Geordie (because I don’t live in Newcastle)

Aurora

daisypond · 31/12/2020 21:38

I’m struggling with those. Aurora is too Disney Princess, no matter how much I tell myself “Roman goddess of the dawn”. I don’t mind Meadow, but it’s in middle name territory for me.

Meadow. Has lovely connotations and Aurora can sound a bit odd in certain accents. Does it flow with your surname?

HollyGenneroMcClane · 31/12/2020 20:56

Meadow

Aurora

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 31/12/2020 20:21

Aurora is more classical and well known now so won't raise any eyebrows. Meadow needs the right personality/confidence to pull off imo.

mamah2019 · 31/12/2020 16:37

Meadow x

BringPizza · 31/12/2020 16:32

It depends very much on your accent, but Meadow looks nicer in written form.

Aurora

Meadow is lovely as a middle name
