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.

Other suggestions: -

Mehreen - Means "Beautiful / Moon"

Isadora
Julienne
Camilla / Camille
Deborah

Sarah
Zoe
Jade
Veronica

Maxine
Verity
Saskia
Imelda

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.

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 )
