Help I really can't decide

[mummy2twobabies]

I can't decide between the name Zoey or Aurora. Please help me to decide.

Zoey

Zoe

Not Zo ee ee

Aurora is the sound of a dog chewing a toffee so it's Zoe for me.

Looks like Zoey is the choice at the minute. My dd really likes it. I like aurora mainly because I like the nn Rory.

Zoe. No y.

I prefer Aurora.

Rory is a gorgeous nickname for Aurora.

Like Zoe too but agree it's better without the Y.

Don't put a y on it. She will have to spell it every day for her whole life.

Both lovely but I'd certainly drop the y on Zoe.

Zoe spelled this way.

With two dots on the e Zoë

Zoe

Although I too like the nn Rory!

Thank you for all your answers. I never thought the y would be a big deal as our surname is one you have to spell. But if I pick Zoe/y it will be something I really think about as I hate spelling my name all the time. It would be unfair on dd2 to have to spell both her names.

Zoe no y

I like Zoey and I don't mind the y.
Don't like Aurora - I think it's too defining - hippy skirts and dream catchers etc. Airy fairy insubstantial characters in books get called Aurora.

Zoe y

I only know great Zoes

Aurora is lovely too though and nickname Rory is wonderful!

Zoe no y

Zoe

I much prefer Aurora

Another vote for Zoe no y here (I'm someone who has to spell both names, don't do it)

Zoe gets my vote too.

Definitely no 'y' on Zoe unless you want her to have to spell it out to everyone she meets.

Personally I think Aurora/ (Rory nn) is prettier. Zoe's a bit plain.

Prefer Aurora.
