Sister for Aurora?

What would you name Aurora's sister?

Our current favourites are Violet and Penelope... Which do you think would work best out of these, if any?

Thanks!

Aurora and Penelope.
Other ideas.
Anastasia. Celeste. Blossom. Bronte. Saffron. Felicity. Meadow.

Penny, although I really like Violet. Is your Aurora nicknamed Rory? Rory and Penny go well together IMHO.

Violet.

Thanks everyone, there are some beautiful suggestions here.

Penelope 100%.
Violent is so bland but seems to be liked on here.

Penelope is becoming quite popular but it's so much nicer than Violet.

EasterBunBun · 22/03/2018 17:09

Penelope- due for a revival ! Sweet as Penny for a child but also works nicely as a dignified Penelope as an adult.

Our 2 DDs names are a bit similar in that one is full of vowels and unusual and the other long - used to feel a bit guilty when they were learning to write and other children were dashing off an Amy and ours were barely started !

Ginger1982 · 22/03/2018 17:09

What about something like Luna to be a sort of opposite to Aurora?

IVflytrap · 22/03/2018 17:56

Phoebe or Lucia if you want to go for a theme.

Beatrice
Pearl
Jessamine
Hestia
Livia
Iris
Kerenza
Saskia
Ianthe
Calliope
Selena

We're not really looking to start a theme but if we find a love that we love then we won't dismiss it. Aurora can fit into many themes, depending on your association, so avoiding one altogether is probably limiting ourselves.

@chipsandpeas I was expecting that to have happened sooner than it did. We're just missing Borealis now Grin

I love both Penelope and Violet. Both go very nicely with Aurora... which is also a beautiful name.

I really really like the suggestion of Celeste that a PP has suggested and am pinching it for our shortlist!

chipsandpeas · 22/03/2018 18:35

@jess91 i coldnt resist, i was surprised no one else had done it

i dontjhave any real suggestions but id stick to something spacey or natrure related

DextroDependant · 22/03/2018 18:37

I like Violet.

I know an Aurora and Lily.

TatianaLarina · 22/03/2018 18:39

Love Violet.

Penelope is awful and Penny even worse.

@chipsandpeas I'm not sure now! I'm thinking Rapunzel would be a good fit Star
