What are your thoughts on these girls name?

[Idonthaveenoughtime]

Hello,

some opinions on these names if baby 2 turns out to be a girl.
I know my names aren't to eveyone's taste but I'd like to know ones which you think sound nice / interesting (even if you'd never use them) as opposed to those which you consider completely awful.
Also, do any of these names have strong class / cultural / celebrity connotations I'm not aware of? Or are probably going to become very trendy soon?
I made the mistake of naming dd1 a name that was trending, and she now shares her name with several celebrity babies...not amused. I'm now in a panic about A. choosing the right name B. listening to DH's suggestions again! I really regret dd1's name but can't change it now.

Names we like:
Aurelia
Anastasia
Aurora (DH and I met spotting the northern lights so I feel it should be a middle name at least, the only problem is that small children can't pronounce it, i've asked a few! 'Rory' for short I suppose.)
Isolde (ee-ZOLD for anyone whose not heard it before.)
Gwenna / Gwendolyn
Clio

DH suggested Guinevere but I drew the arthurian line at Isolde!

I like names beginning with A. If anyone has any traditional british / welsh names that aren't popular at the moment I would appreciate the suggestions.

DH has struck Alexandra, Kerensa, Iris, Rosamond and Rowena from my list as apparently they are very much not to his taste.
I struck Seren off his because it's much too popular now, and Rosalind because it is becoming extremely popular.

I'd avoid Clio, given that Renault have a popular car model called the Clio.

I like Aurelia and Aurora best out of the other ones.

I like Isolde, but spelt Ysolda instead.

Adore aurora and especially with the story. id go for aurora.

I don't like Gwenna or Gwendolyn but I know a small Gweneth nn Benny (her name as pn by her older sister at the time) which might be of interest?

Clio is definitely a car.

I don't think Rosalind is popular at all (don't know any, and I know a lot of small children) although Rose as a mn or Rosie as a first name are popular. Rosamund?

I like your list, lots of cross over with ours and we ended up with a Romilly.

I also like Astrid, Genevieve, Anya and Seren.

Rosalind Aurora is fab, Seeker, I also know many, many small children and have NEVER come across a Rosalind, so I don't think popularity can be too big an issue.

I know loads of children- particularly girls- and I only know one Rosalind- she's 18. So go for Rosalind Aurora.

Awena, Angharad, Anwen

Gwenllian is my personal favourite but don't expect anyone to be able to say it. We played it safe and went for Alys.

Funnily enough my friend and I were discussing Gwendoline a a name today. (our DC's met a girl called Lacey and it reminded me of Malory Towers !)

Gwendoline Aurora - I think that would be lovely.

Should have read but I agree with RaRaz a bit on pronouncing the -DE at the end of Isolde; I don't think it would have to be emphasised though - just a slight shaping.

Ariella would just make me think you'd got inspiration from Tree Fu Tom - sorry.

I love Aurelia. Would love to use it myself. I like your story about Aurora though. Sounds like a lovely idea.

Rosalind Aurora is a stunningly beautiful name, and I don't know any little Rosalinds at all, despite being surrounded by friends with babies & toddlers and having another couple of teacher friends, so I don't think it's particularly popular.

How can Anastasia be chavvy? It has been a classic name in Europe for hundreds of years. There have been saints, princesses, etc., called that. FGS.

Anastasia

is the only one I like.

You have lovely taste, a few names I'd have liked to use, but DH has vetoed! So, honest opinions

Aurelia - think this is beautiful, only downside might be difficult to shorten
Anastasia - Ok, but I would see this as v Russian and a bit disney princess?
Aurora (DH and I met spotting the northern lights so I feel it should be a middle name at least, the only problem is that small children can't pronounce it, i've asked a few! 'Rory' for short I suppose.) - Beautiful, love it! Possibly a bit disney princess if you're looking for a downside
Isolde (ee-ZOLD for anyone whose not heard it before.) - I love this one, and she will probably be the only one, really nice.
Gwenna / Gwendolyn - Ok, and I think Gwen is a sweet nn, but prob my least fav on your list
Clio - really like it, though it's a bit incomplete/nicknamey, if you know what I mean? I would probably spell in Cleo

Aurora and Isolde are both lovely names.

The thing is if you call your baby Aurora, no one is going to think of your reason behind it - as lovely as it is. Everyone will automatically think you've named her after a disney princess, it'll be like calling a child Cinderella?! I can't imagine any mother of girls associating it with anything else. Just something to consider... I think its fine as a middle name.

Aurora is a gorgeous name! I know one and don't think it's too hard to spell or pronounce especially if use nn Rory. With your romantic story I think you should go with aurora because its bit just pretty, it means something to you and dh

Aurelia is absolutely beautiful.

I love Aurora nn Rory, Not keen on Anastasia, and the others all have pronunciation issues.
