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!

I knew a woman with an Aurora who named her second dd Oceana - she was teased for having named them after p&o cruise lines but I thought they were actually sweet together. I forget what she named her third dd.

What about Stella? Would be really pretty, star and dawn.

I also love
Celeste
Ophelia (adore this with Aurora)
Seraphina
Cordelia

Others I can think of along similar lines
Isabella
Meredith
Emmeline
Luciana
Juniper
Rosalie

I agree Phoebe goes very well.

Otherwise I think I’d choose another ending in A.

Giuliana, Tatiana, Cassandra, Francesca, Gabriella, Rosa, Paloma

jess91 · 22/03/2018 21:13

I think we'd need to be careful if using another name ending in A. Rora and Rosa would be a bit too much for me, for example. The rhyming RA and LA in Aurora and Viola, too.

There are a lot of suggestions that we like here so thank you!

Weird - I was going to say Penelope before I read that was one of your options.

PetalMettle · 22/03/2018 21:24

I’d like something starry - Astrid, Stella or Seren.
Penelope is lovely though

TatianaLarina · 23/03/2018 09:57

I think the repeated Rs in Aurora and Rosa are a bit of a mouthful.

I like Viola - hadn’t thought of that.

While I like the names individually - Aurora and Violet are a bit random together.

jess91 · 23/03/2018 10:06

@TatianaLarina Random? How so? I think they fit well together.

Does everyone agree that Aurora and Violet sound odd as siblings? We have a few Violet combinations we like as well as Penelope Violet.

AbsolutelyCorking · 23/03/2018 18:29

No they don’t sound odd as siblings at all. I like Violet.

Threeandabit · 23/03/2018 20:33

I like Violet and Penelope.

Mehreen - Means "Beautiful / Moon"

There’s no theme or pattern to them. They’re neither both Latin or both mythological or flower names, nor are they alliterative. They’re just randomly thrown together.

But they’re your kids I don’t care what you do! Grin

jess91 · 24/03/2018 09:15

@TatianaLarina That's a plus to me, I don't see a need for names to belong in a theme. My only issue is if they are stylistically jarring together. Violet is actually the name I was most worried about because it's a nature name along with Aurora.

@Threeandabit Why does Donatella remind me of Donald Trump. Name ruined! Lol. Thank you for the lovely suggestions.

@TatianaLarina Alliterarion is probably something I'd avoid altogether, thinking about it. It would get quite confusing with the post lol.

Faintlinesquints · 24/03/2018 09:17

I think Violet sounds ok with Aurora, really like Penelope Violet 👍🏼

We have a Thea to go with ours as they both have sky meanings.

EasterBunBun · 24/03/2018 12:56

Ooh, I like Thea. My daughter has a friend called Theadora who goes by Thea but it does have the advantage that it can also be used as Dora( ignoring any Explorers )
