Aurora or sapphire?

[Thinktonk]

Please help me decide. Was a thread that I still believe is running about unique names and how awful they are and so on.

I want to avoid that. My last two names are Aurora and sapphire.
Please help me decide one.

And honest thoughts before it's to late to turn back.

Brutal honest opinions. Thanks

Yet another thread about the name Sapphire? Goodness, I thought we'd seen the last of them but evidently not.

I love the name Aurora, but unfortunately my husband's immediate association with the name is the battleship Aurora in St. Petersburg (a blank shot from the ship signaled the beginning of the Russian Revolution in 1917). When he hears the name he has a tendency to burst into song, with a heartfelt rendition of "What do you dream of, Cruiser Avrora?" Most people in the UK would not have this association, obviously!

I don’t like either of them - sorry! Aurora is a bit Disney Princess and Sapphire is very footballers wives.

Neither - sorry op. Aurora is a PandO cruise ship. That's what I think of when I hear it. Sapphire is worse though I think - has some unfortunate connotations.

Sapphire would work if she has deep blue eyes, but of course you can't know that...

Any definitive decision yet OP? Are you returning?

Nobody has yet explained the Sapphire = stripper connection. Is it from a movie or something?

They really are both awful. Sorry OP

I agree with Bidet.

In fact, Bidet would be a better name than Aurora or Sapphire.

I'm going by the 'if you can't say anything nice' saying, so no comment from me.

I came across a little girl called Aurora today and my immediate thought was it sounded really fussy. It looks pretty written down but it's a real mouthful to say.

On that basis I'd go with Sapphire . I once knew a Sapphire through work with a very unusual second name - the overall effect was pleasingly exotic

We chose Sapphire Rose-(Saffie for short) if we were ever lucky enough to be blessed with a baby. Sadly as luck has it and after a lot of hard decisions on my fellas age and my health it’s not meant to be but I did nickname my new car after the name my guy chose for a boy if we’d had one

None sorry

Neither. Both are try too hard to be special erring towards the chavvy

Both sound like cruise ships but I’d go for Sapphire out of the 2.

I really dislike Aurora. It’s become a pet hate for me.

No rational reason except I don’t think it sounds very nice. It just sounds like you’ve got something in your mouth. RAWRAWRAW. Maybe it’s just the way I pronounce it, but I really despise it

They both sound like cheap cruise ships. Sorry.

I prefer Aurora. I used to teach an Aurora, she’ll be about 20 years old now.

Brutal honest opinions?
Both awful.

Aurora looks pretty but the English pronunciation is cumbersome. Sapphire is glamorous but sounds like sapphism. Maybe that's why strippers use it, if they do.

Find some other name that shortens to Saffie. I love Saffie, but not Sapphire. Aurora is usually a dog name over here in the states.

Another Sapphire thread? We haven't had one for a while I suppose.

Anyway, Aurora is the least worst of the two, but the abbreviation of it to Rory, a boys' name, doesn't sound right to me.

'Posh dinosaur' made me laugh, thanks for that

Ugh. Sorry but can't stand Aurora, it seems to be one of this year's popular names. Plus I know a couple who have just named their daughter this and they're both horrendous people.

The regular weekend Sapphire thread? I'd say you've been missed, but well. Not.

Of those two, definitely Aurora. Sapphire sounds a bit...Chardonnay.

Sapphire. I love that name . I wish it was mine but I like jewel names anyway and I m a Ruby

How about Amethyst?
