Aurelia first. But I agree to use the name you absolutely love first not which flows better. I get it, I spent ages coming up with a name that flowed well with my son’s first name, but I chose the name I loved as a first name then worked around that.

Do you want a daughter called Sienna or a daughter called Aurelia?

That's the real choice.

Her full name will almost never be said, so the flow doesn't matter. It's not like you're considering Aurelia Bedelia or something.

Sienna Aurelia flows best, but both are beautiful names. Just pick the one you like best as the middle name will rarely be used, I think that's more important than the flow.

Also hypothetically, if you were to have a second girl in the future (obv I know there's no way of telling that!!) would you be gutted you've used both names on the first girl?

Aurelia Sienna
Otherwise I get a bit stuttery on the -a A- bit in the middle

I think Aurelia Sienna Lingard flows better. I love both of the names! Prob prefer Aurelia because it's abit different but both gorgeous

@Tncake , I find it so disheartening when ppl go out of their way to just post they don’t like these names.
I didn't just post that I didn't like the names. I said that one goes better with the surname.

The -lia Li- is a bit tongue-twistery

You should simply choose the name you like best as the first name, that’s the name they’ll be called all the time.
They are the names of both Millie Mackintosh’s children FYI

No idea who this is 😆

I was just wondering which flows better.
we obviously like both names but can’t choose which one as her name.

why do ppl come on here to tell the poster they don’t like my choices??? I didn’t ask if you liked them I asked which flows better

I find it so disheartening when ppl go out of their way to just post they don’t like these names.

I really like Sienna! Not so keen on Aurelia, so would definitely choose Sienna Aurelia.

Very pretty names!

I voted for Sienna Aurelia, but if she is to be called Aurelia, then I think Aurelia should be first.

FayCarew · 04/03/2024 19:27

What will you call her day-to-day? Sienna or Aurelia?
FWIW I'm not keen or either of them. Sienna is better than Aurelia, which has several ways of saying it.
Sienna goes better with the surname, and middle names are hardly ever used.

penelopepinkbott · 04/03/2024 19:22

Sienna first I'd say. How do you pronounce that other name?
