Your taste isn’t mine. I’d read these as ‘Slightly dated American’?

Aurora if I had to, but I think a lot of people find it tricky to pronounce with the ‘r’s and the ‘au’ and ‘o’ sounds.

Yes, they’re all a bit meh to me. Don’t particularly like any of them but don’t hate any either. Not keen on Aurora as I couldn't imagine having to keep saying it.

CurlewKate · 24/04/2026 15:09

I don’t like any of them-I’m sorry. If I had to pick-maybe Piper?

youalright · 24/04/2026 15:01

My favourite is Skylar my least favourite is Piper

examworries2026 · 24/04/2026 14:56

My DD is 15 and there are 5 siennas (and some variations) in her school year, it really feels like a name that peaked at that time, I think I know about 15!

I agree with slightly dated American names. I’m not keen on any of them apart from Avery. I know one and she’s lovely (American!)

FloweryPenPot · 24/04/2026 14:44

Not to my taste, but none are horrible, just regular names for these days.

Aurelia always makes me think of Aureola, sorry!

OldieButBaddie · 24/04/2026 14:42

They sound American, are you in the US?

Harper - Old man's name (for me, I know an old American bloke called this!)
Summer - No, I know a Summer and it's just not a good name IMO
Darcie - sweet
Autumn - No
Sienna - Not a fan but not awful
Aurora - No
Skylar - Breaking Bad/All aboard the
Avery - A wine merchant
Piper - hideous noises from a bag
Nova - I had a Vauxhall Nova so NO
Savannah - OK but I wouldn't use it

Suggestions
if you like seasons how about months?
April, May and June are all girls names
Skye instead of Skylar
Noa instead of Nova
Georgia instead of Savannah
Estelle
Elouise
Celeste

MrsMoastyToasty · 24/04/2026 14:39

I don't like any of them.

"No va" in spanish means "doesn't go".
I know a male Piper.

it's what it sounds like if you can't say R and many people especially little children can't.

Love aurora. Ive got an aurora. Rory for short.

Glitterbiscuits · 24/04/2026 14:29

Are you American OP? They sound like names I’d hear in an American teen movie.
There’s Harper at my school but her father can’t say H, so he greets her with
All right Arp?

JackandVictor · 24/04/2026 14:25

Harper, Piper and Autumn were all on my list for my now 18 year old. Still all lovely and underused in my opinion.

Nova and Savannah are awful. Darcie and Sienna are really popular here and all of them I have met are brats 😅 Avery makes me think of Aviary and therefore bird poop 😳

I’m baffled by anyone using Piper as a name. It just conjures up a bagpiper puffing. I admire their skill, but it’s not that aesthetically pleasing a look. (See also trumpeters, oboists etc).

Makes me think of the Piper Alpha disaster

It makes me think of pipes as in waterworks.

raisinglittlepeople12 · 24/04/2026 13:30

Aurora, Avery and Pipe are the best!

I’m afraid that your taste is too unlike mine. As a PP said, Aurora if sampling from that population.

7238SM · 24/04/2026 12:25

I don't like Harper
I know a 50yr old man named D'Arcy so not keen on that.
Piper doesn't sound like a grown woman's name

The rest I find ok. I worked with a woman called Nova and her ancestry had come from Nova Scotia. I never associated her with the car.

Some other ideas:
Brooke
Fleur
Willow
Ferne
Odette
Imogen
Coralie
Verda

Onefortheroad25 · 24/04/2026 12:24

I only like Avery from your list.
