I really like your suggestions, my DD1 has a nature middle name and I do like the idea of picking another nature name

I love Aurora and love the NN rory! If she was born a week ago I'd give her a Christmassy middle name!

Ivy
Holly
Neva- means snow in Latin and Spanish apparently
Eira- Welsh word for snow- would have been my daughters name if she was a winter baby
Eve

She was born Christmas Day!

Poor girl 😂

Couldn't believe it when my contractions started up in the morning, I was like ooooh noooo the one day I didn't think she'd come!

Managed to have my Christmas dinner though and then went upstairs right after and let my body get on with it

@NCNC Sorry to contradict, but it would be terrible to use a name in the top twenty!
My daughter who is nearly 30 has Grace as a middle name. My inlaws were horrified at such a dreadful old fashioned name!
Jean is really cool, in my opinion which you can discount if you want.

Jean is a really unpopular name at the moment, I looked it up 😂

It's one of the reasons I suggested it (before we decided on Aurora) because I thought it would be cool

I absolutely love Aurora, but this is Mumsnet, and you're only supposed to like Charlotte and George or something else top-20. OP, congratulations on your new arrival. I would be delighted to know a little Aurora.

I love whimsical middle names, and would pair the wonderful Aurora with something similarly cool, like:

Tabitha
Jessamine
Fleur
Ember
Calypso
Sage
Lark
Tansy

I actually love Briar, and the Disney vibe is fine by me. I also love Jasmine!

Thank you

I'm currently pregnant due early Feb and since before we even knew we were having a girl she was always going to be Aurora Rose. She can go by Rory or Rose when older if she doesn't like Aurora and who cares if it's a Disney name? Personally I'm a massive Disney fan so it's perfect to me and I think it's super pretty! (Also my name being Rosemary it's a bit of a nod to my name as her middle name)

Honestly some of the comments on here are so rude and unnecessary people don't seem to realise Aurora has been used as a name for a long time and has a beautiful meaning!

Really!

I think it's so lovely ♥️

I have a February baby too, my eldest, it's a great time to have a baby. Lovely and cold outside, cosy inside and you're on the brink of Spring

I need a pretty kitten to use one of the names here. I'm more granny aged, and know not to Diss a grandchild's name.

I agree! I would veer away from anything top 100! I was saying this is mn though, and most (vocal on baby name thread) MNers seem to play it very safe, and are aghast at anything not top 20.

Aurora is a lovely name. I’ve always liked it and I didn’t know about the disney princess connection until a few years ago. It’s irrelevant unless we also have to rule out Belle and Jasmine as well.

as for middle names, I LOVE Jean as a middle name. It’s so cool. Aurora Jean is lovely and if you go with the nickname Rory then Rory Jean is also a cute little moniker. We call our daughter by her first name shortening and middle name quite often, as an affectionate pet name.

congrats on your baby and don’t worry about some random strangers disliking the name Aurora. No name is universally liked so you just have to not care that there might be someone sniffy about it. I’m sure if those rude posters on here said what their kids were called, there’d be plenty of dissent.

My grandmother's name is Jean, I'll talk to my partner I don't think he's keen on Jean but maybe as a middle name he'd feel different

I had to name change for this post so I wouldn't out myself. My middle name is Elisabeth so I think that goes nicely. Don't overthink it OP, and don't let the naysayers on this thread get you down. I've lived with the name Aurora for nearly fifty years and it's fine; no-one ever has a problem with it (apart from occasionally the spelling!)

Thank you

Sorry people are being so horrid about your beautiful name!

Did your family ever shorten your name or have you always been Aurora?

Whilst I agree people can be a touch insensitive, The strange thing is the OP saying she doesn’t care for anyone’s opinions etc… why ask for opinions on an open public forum then 😭

I didn't, I asked for people's suggestions for a middle name duh can't you read?

LizzieVereker · 02/01/2025 22:07

As Aurora means Dawn in Latin, maybe Hope?

marshmallowfinder · 02/01/2025 22:06

LateNightReads · 01/01/2025 22:21

Evelyn Rose would be nice…

Rose is a filler name, done to death.

puffylovett · 02/01/2025 22:04

Aurora Leigh is beautiful. I don’t immediately think of Disney, I instantly think of the beautiful ballet and music by Tchaikovsky.
Rory-Leigh would be a lovely name too.
Aurora Rose just instantly makes me think ‘Rose Adagio’. Ignore the haters, OP.

Twoshoesnewshoes · 02/01/2025 22:04

Kate, Jane or Louise

Waterboatlass · 02/01/2025 21:59

I think some people lack breadth of reference if they jump straight to Disney or Harry Potter (within reason, Mickey and Minnie for twins would be a pretty silly choice). Aurora has existed as a name prior to and outside of Disney for a long time. No Echobelly fans? Aurora Lane?

Not personally a fan of Dawn, too rhymey and literal

DefyingGravitea · 02/01/2025 21:51

Julianoia · 01/01/2025 21:52

I agree Aurora is a really difficult name. Switch it to middle name instead?

Agree

eggandonion · 02/01/2025 18:57

The baby is a week old. She is call Aurora. She doesn't have a middle name, op is considering suggestions.
In real life I like some names which people have called their kids, others I wouldn't choose.
I wouldn't dream of advising someone not to use the name they chose. Because I have rude inlaws. And I'm not rude, or unpleasant to new parents.
I have aname considered ideal for professional people. Mumsnet likes my name. I hate it.
