Aurora or Leonora, which do you prefer?

[Daya]

Which do you prefer, is Leonora a bit much? Aurora too disney? Any opinions would help loads, thanks.

Love Lenore, with an 'e' as it's a bit less frilly, but bastard fabric conditioner has rather put the kibosh on it. In fact I wanted a Lenore and a Flora...

Aurora forsure. Leonora paints a picture in my mind of an overly tanned lady with leathery skin and lots of gold jewelery...ala Benidorm

They are both pretty but real mouthfuls. Think I prefer Leanora as it's slightly easier to say...fewer vowels together.

I love the name Aurelia (although, come to think of it, it's not that easy to say either..). Mmmm.

Love both but slightly prefer Leonora.

Yes Aurora is too Disney. Leonora far nicer imo.

I like Aurora.
That was going to be my DD1's name all through my teen years. Gone off it a bit now though.
I am liking Leonora though - never heard that before.

Of the two I much prefer Aurora, but if your DD or anyone in the family has difficulty pronouncing their 'R's it's going to sound a bit strange and babyish.

Leonora by miles.

Aurora is just lovely.

My 5mo dd is aurora. We can her rora instead of rory. I love it because of northern lights :) and sleeping beauty, but I discovered not many people know that that's sleeping beauty's name

It's not that difficult to say once you're used to it either. Unless you silly like us and call her aurora Leigh..,

Leonora is lovely. I do like Aurora too, but my best friend can't pronounce her rs and put me off it by saying Aworwa!

Aurora is one of my favourite names. DH would never allow it!

I prefer Aurora. Aurelia is lovely too.

Aurora is stunning!

Leonora - classic, stunning and only used by posh people for some reason. V underused and misunderstood.

Aurora - name of ship that heralded Russian Revolution (? or something like that) or Disney princess.

No contest IMO. Leonora wins.

Will be known as Leo though...there are worse nms.

Is it difficult to pronounce purely from the 'auwowa' aspect if they can't say their 'r's? Or am I not understanding how it's said?? 'a-roar-a'?

I really like both but especially love Aurora

I find Aurora quite a mouthful and feel a bit self-conscious saying it out loud.

Leonora on the other hand has lovely poetic flow.

There's also the French name Léontine ( pron Layonteen) and Léonie if you like the lion theme.
