Awful or a keeper?? Girls names are difficult

It's beautiful. Quite popular here. You would have to take her to see the Northern (or Southern) Lights, so she could see something named like her that's beautiful too!

Where is here?? Cute thought with the northern lights! Not a name for me... for a friend's baby! I totally wish I had to pick a girls name though!

Love it, especially with the nickname Rory

Gorgeous name!

bigbluebump · 26/10/2012 22:07

I like the look of it but find the pronunciation a little too 'r'y.

Love it, but the pressure is on to suit the name. I am sturdy and would not live up to it.

Love it, but make sure the important adults in her life can roll their 'r's.

Fifi2406 · 26/10/2012 22:37

Everyone seems to like this one

I was looking after a 5 and 3 year old girl as well as my 3 year old daughter today. I must have heard the name mentioned at least every half an hour. I just think pink tiaras and nylon princess dresses.

My friend has an Aurora and she chose it because it was unusual. It's gaining in popularity though! Beautiful name.

I want to like it but I find it a bit of a tongue twister and now all it reminds me of is the dreadful Aurora Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

Hmm...I do quite like it, but it's making me think of Disney Princesses for some reason, was one of them called Aurora?

DizzyPurple · 27/10/2012 09:16

Not sure. Not heard of it before either which is surprising to me . I work with kids so come across lots of names. I like Aurelia which is similar.

Glitter kitten, Disneys version of sleeping beauty her name was Aurora

It's absolutely lovely but I would live in fear of her growing up unable to say her r's.
