Sister for Aurora?

emerierose · 03/12/2022 05:07

We have a dd Aurora and now are due a new baby girl in February. I am having such a hard time picking a name this time around. I'm not sure what really matches the feel of Aurora.

Some on our list are
Elara
Luna
Violet
Aster or Astri

What are your suggestions?

Thanks so much for all the suggestions! I really love Aster but I also am hesitant over the "ass" sound😅
And our surname ends in T as well, do you think that makes Violet sound odd?

I love Selene and variations and a lot of the other suggestions I have written down😊

Of your list I really love Aster
Violet is nice
Elara too similar
Luna too close to loony

how about

Selene - sell-ee-nee or Selina - moon goddess

Celeste - stars
Stella - star
Estella - star
Lucia or Lucienne - light

Or if you don’t want matchy in that way

Diana
Meredith
Sabrina
Iona
Vivienne
Ione (eye-oh-nee)
Claudia
Cassia
Francesca
Serena
Ianthe
Verity
Oona
Hera

If we had had another girl I would have gone with Ingrid

fairycupcakes · 03/12/2022 10:02

@emerierose the Aurora I know of has a sister called Sapphire if that helps at all?

Elara - too similar sounding with Aurora

Luna - As many a pp have mentioned it’s used a lot for pets

Violet - I know it’s popular on here but I’m just not keen and I don’t feel it’s the same kind of name as Aurora but that might just be a preference etc!

Aster or Astri - I think Astrid is beautiful but I just don’t like the ‘ass’ sound in either of the 3 names so I’d never use it because kids can be cruel.

saltofcelery · 03/12/2022 09:29

Personal choice but I would rule out all names that also end with "A". Of your list that would leave Violet. It is totally your decision though, happy picking!

superdupernova · 03/12/2022 09:21

I really like Violet from your list.

Another vote for Borealis. Or Borealia perhaps.

why do people think this is attractive as a name?

EatYourFive · 03/12/2022 08:30

Definitely not Borealis, it's the name of a big plastics company. 🤔

Xanthie and Elodie come to mind

Beanbagtrap · 03/12/2022 08:11

Borealis, or bo for short.

RoseMartha · 03/12/2022 08:08

The first name that came to mind was Astrid.

Or
Adrianna
Skye
Penelope
Honor
Letitia

MyBuggyIsOutToGetMe · 03/12/2022 08:03

If the names on your list, Violet definitely goes best. I’d avoid Elara as it doesn’t quite flow with Aurora.

The Aurora I know has a sister Hermione.

How about:

Seraphina
Lucinda
Gabriella
Rosalie

Luna and Astri with Aurora give me space vibes, feels a bit themey

I know an India and Aurora pair and think they balance well

Photosymphysis · 03/12/2022 07:22

I love Aurora (but had boys).

Aster or Astrid would be my favourite. Or even Stella.
