Beginning my search for baby names 🙂

Can I hear your honest opinions on these name combinations:
Alice Aurora
Aurora Fay (open to 'Fay' spelling variations)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Aurora is a Disney character to me so I wouldn’t choose it for that reason.
I like Alice.

Like... in Wonderland?

Aurora Fay is the better option by far - but young children will really struggle to pronounce it.

Aurora Fae 🥰

I like Alice but don't think it goes well with Aurora when said together. Are these first and middle names, or a double first names? If first and middle then I don't think it really matters whether the names go well and they are hardly ever said together.

I like Fay as a name - do not like Faye, the e just looks so unnecessary and fussy to me.

I love Alice.
Alice Aurora of the two is better.
I also like Alice Faye.

Aurora looks sweet and sounds well when people who can say it speak.
Otherwise, Aurora can be a mixed up, ugly sound.

I love Alice but it doesn't have the same vibe as Aurora and I really don't like them together.
Aurora and Fay sit well together so I'd go Aurora Fay of the two.

I love Alice but Aurora just seems like too much of a mouthful. Faye is ok.

Aurora can be difficult to pronounce for some. Alice or Fay on the other hand…

I like Aurora Faye, they are both names on my girls list 🥰
