What are your thoughts on these names? What "vibe" do you get from them?

Thanks in advance!

Sula is fab - thought it was diminutive of Ursula.
Friend's sister is called it.

I like Sula.

How about

Sula is a character (albeit a pony!) in the Monica Edwards Punchbowl Farm series of childrens books. Never heard it anywhere else but think its lovely.

Sula, as in Aquae Sulis (Bath)? Excellent. Aurora close to oral ... Tricky teenage years?

Every child at school (and their parents) will recognise Aurora as being a Disney princess. Not quirky / cool / edgy. The thing about giving a child a quirky / cool / edgy name is that often your choice isn't as quirky / cool / edgy as you think it is. Or the child isn't as quirky / cool / edgy as you thought they would be.

A lot of kids have problems with Rs, so she could end up pronouncing her own name as Auwowa.

Aurora was on my list.... Love it. My husband vetoed it!
