Sibling name for Emilia Aurora

34 replies

MrsIndecisive2 · 25/03/2022 15:08

Hello,

I am looking for sibling names for my Daughter Emilia Aurora. My surname is short (4 letters).

Names I like so far are;
Girls; Reeva, Elodie, Sienna, Rosie, Alba, Selina.

Boys; Zayn, Blake, Archie, Beau.

I had a hard time naming my 1st child and slightly annoyingly most people mistake her for Amelia when introducing her. My middle name is Dawn which was my reasoning for having Aurora (I wanted Aurora as her 1st name but my OH didn't like it). Although neither if us personally know an Emilia or Amelia we have been told that the name Amelia is very popular so looking for something a little more unique for our 2nd. Considering Alba as it also means 'Dawn' Please could I have your thoughts on he above names and also any ideas of fresh names. Lookinf for 1st abd 2nd name combos. Thanks :)

How about Lucy (light) or Nova (new) for a girl?

I'd avoid anything else that begins and ends in a vowel sound but that's my personal preference as so many girls born in the past ten years seem to have very vowely names.

Harriet, Matilda, Edith, Beatrice, Dorothy, Imogen or Ingrid may work well.

Emilia and Amelia are both very popular but they are lovely

Alba is quite nice, so is Selina
Elodie is fine but a bit fussy and v now so it will date. sienna is ok but it’s gone a bit Disney Princess. Reeva is very undistinguished and reminds me of that poor girl who was killed.
Rosie and variations are ultra popular so you probably don’t want that.

Astra and Stella mean star, Lucinda, Lucia and Lucienne mean light, Celestine and Celestia mean heaven, otherwise Serena, Fernanda, Camilla, Adela, Sanchia, Cassia, Aphra might be other alternatives

Archie and Beau are nice, the latter is more unusual. Zayn and Blake are awful. Abel means wind I think. Or there is Atlas.. Otherwise Stellan, Laurence nn Laurie, Zachary or Zachariah nn Zach, Alistair, Kester, Saul, Joel, Blaise, Jude, Guy, Dashiell, might be others

I think Sienna and Selina just have too many i and a sounds when you couple them with Emilia and Selina feels very dated to me.
I don't like Reeva, i think you'd spend a lot of time correcting people that it isn't River (and you have that gripe already with Emilia / Amelia!)
I quite like Alba, it's also the gaelic name for Scotland if that matters to you at all.
I'd go with Emilia and Elodie or Emilia and Alba.
Of your boys names I only like Archie.

I immediately thought Elodie Diana.
