Aurora - sleeping beauty or northern lights

[nectarini1983]

Hello

Would appreciate some honest feedback...am 37 weeks pregnant with second daughter.

My current favourite name is Aurora but i want to know if people associate this with Disney/ Sleeping Beauty or with Aurora Borealis/ northern lights? I'm hoping it's the latter as dd1 doesn't have a 'disney princess' name but step daughter does and don't want her to feel left out! The many many joys of picking baby names!

Thanks ladies!

I ptefer Aurelie to Aurelia.
Which is better with your surname ?

I always thought Disney nicked the name off the ballet.

Ballet or northern lights for me.

We had an Auriol at school (and there is one who lives down the road from me).

Disney for aurora definitely but not really for jasmine actually

My dd10 is an aurora and was named after the northern lights and I was never asked if she was named after a Disney character

I love aurora.
It was high in my list for dd. Until my friend said it was the name of a chain of hotels down south.
So I gave her another name. And my aunt said "like the hotel?"
Can't win...

I love it.

I'd totally think Aurora Borealis, but I know nothing about Disney princesses.

My first thought was the connection with the dawn, but I'm not very Disney. I knew a Jasmine for years and never once made that link.

I think Aurora's a name that's prettier on the page than on the tongue, though.

I would defo think of Disney & with Jasmine I'd think it was on purpose.

Beautiful name though. I had it on my list for DD2 but don't like Rory nickname so ruled it out

Sleeping Beauty - but the Tchaikovsky/Petipa ballet, not Disney.

Thank you! Still really torn..... I think I prefer Aurora to Aurelia though.

If it wasn't for the double Disney Princess concern I'd go for it in a flash.

I have found two of my people - hurrah! Aurora is ballet, not Disney!

I'm not really up on my Disney princesses but I know it means Dawn, and imo Dawn is a very passe name, and in the same category as Sharon. So sadly I would put Aurora there, along with names like Amber and Tiffany.

I know an Alice who has been called Borey by her friends for many years now .

I love Aurelia -- much more elegant name, and no baggage.

Sleeping Beauty, dawn and a colour of Swarovski crystal here.

Aurelia makes me think of Love Actually

Regardless of Disney or the Borealis - it is a beautiful name. It is the Roman goddess of sunrise.

I know of someone named Aurora and she was named after the Disney princess. She doesn't mind now but hated it in her teens.

I think Aurelia is a nice alternative.

Aurora means 'The dawn' which is lovely :)

It's not the fact it's a disney princess name that worries me, seeping beauty is hardly newly released so everyone called Aurora in the last 60 years must have run that gauntlet. I'm giving more thought as to whether my other daughter will feel 'left out' if people will spot the connection with her half sisters name Jasmine - double Disney?! Would other ppl think to point his out? That's what's holding me back. Or am I way over thinking this?!

Neither my niece is names aurora after a cruise ship :)

To me, Aurora is a kinase.

Lovely name
