Clara and Aurora or Eloise and Aurora

Clara and Aurora? Eloise and Aurora?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

They are all very pretty but all also a bit trendy- with Eloise and Clara being the least so and Mila and Aurora the most.If I had to pick two as a sibset then Aurora and Eloise I think as they sound quite good together being both 3 syllable with repeated vowels.

But If you are set on Aurora, then I’d definitely consider Selena or Selene for a sisters name instead - Aurora The Goddess of the Dawn and Selene the Goddess of the Moon are lovely meanings and work great together.

Alternatively I’d maybe look for a similarly mythological or nature based name - like Lara (rather than Clara) Maia/Maya, Gaia, Thalia, Diana, Xanthe, Cassia, Lily, Rosa, Jasmine, Willow etc to pair with Aurora.

We’re calling ours Aurora, and have already said that if we have a second girl in the future we’d love to call her Selena. Nicknames of Rory & Sally 🥰

I must admit I wouldn’t use Amelia with Aurora - 2 A names might be a post hassle. I’d at least consider similar Emilia (Mila) - its Latin origins work better with Aurora too ( I feel the same about Camilla which also has Roman/Latin origins so works nicely with Aurora.)

Any thoughts on Mila and Aurora?

I would immediately think of the Ingham family, but I'm sure that wouldn't be the case for everyone.
Just go with your gut feeling.

Appreciate everyone voting for both Clara and Eloise but have decided on Aurora and happy with that! So just looking for a complimentary second girls name. Leaning towards Mila/Amelia!

With Mila potentially being short for Amelia or Camilla? (Both family names so would be a nice nod, although wouldn’t sway us to choose one of these/Mila over, say, Eloise or Clara)

Edited

Mila is lovely. I like it either as a standalone name, or short for Amelia (I personally don’t like Camilla).

I have an Aurora (Rory) and also had Eloise on our list. They go together nicely

Clara & Eloise

VivaVivaa · 16/05/2024 18:15

Does it have to be Aurora? It’s okay but I don’t love it. Meanwhile, Eloise and Clara are both gorgeous names!

Clara and Aurora.

Clara and Eloise

I like Eloise and Aurora the best.

Sorry, another vote for Clara and Eloise

Clara and Eloise, Eloise is my favourite of your names, very pretty.

OmuraWhale · 16/05/2024 16:59

I also think Clara and Eloise!

RTrouble · 16/05/2024 16:59

Something to think about, but I really struggle to pronounce Aurora. Two Rs in one word are impossible for me (think Jonathan Ross, though not quite) I don't think I'm all that unusual and it'll definitely be difficult for small children to say. It's a lovely name so I'm just putting it out there!
I'd go for Clara and Eloise..

(I cant say Rory either!)

GuppytheCat · 16/05/2024 16:55

I don’t love how they both end in “ra” with the first, Eloise and Clara are lovely together.
