Aurora & Sebastian

Would you think parents of an Aurora and Sebastian were big Disney fans? Is it an obvious connection between the two or am I over thinking it?

Our eldest is Aurora (not named after the Disney princess lol) and we're considering Sebastian if we have a boy this time around. We have two other children whose names aren't associated with Disney too (to my knowledge anyway lol) Thanks!

I thought of Disney before I'd opened the thread.

I think it's too much.

I like both names; and with two non Disney siblings, I think you're absolutely fine.

People are going to read the thread title and think they are your only children though; and that will colour opinions.

I thought Rome.

I think the fact you have two other kids with non Disney names is ok. Like if you just had the two then you'd be saying their names together a lot, but say for example ppl asked you your kids names , you'd usually say them from oldest to youngest wouldn't you... So I don't think I'd notice .

I do think of sleeping beauty when I hear Aurora, it was my fav Disney movie when I was little. I think Sebastian is fine. If it was Ariel and Sebastian it might be another story 😂

They go well together.

I thought of Rome too I hate Disney.

My daughter's middle name is Aurora and my favourite boy's name is Sebastian :)
Though I named her Aurora after the northern lights. Beautiful!

@AngelsAckiz The Borealis connection is lovely! We didn't really name her after anything/anyone... I was talking to someone who used it as a middle name for her newborn baby (they did consider it for her first) and fell in love. Luckily, DH liked it too and it made our top three. I doubt we'd have ever thought of it ourselves if it wasn't for that... I couldn't imagine her being anything else now!

I wouldn't have done until someone I know said their ds was going to be named after a Disney character and his name is Sebastion.

The first thing I thought of seeing them both was “Disney” but I also thought that they’re a really nice pair! If you have 2 others non Disney I don’t think people would really notice about these two. It’s not like calling them Merida and Nemo or something- where you barely see those names outside of Disney

pixieloux · 23/08/2018 13:59

See, I would never think of Disney when seeing Sebastian on it's own. I don't think I'd have given it a second thought if we already had Sebastian and wanted to use Aurora this time round. I'm just used to hearing about Disney with Rora lol.

They're lovely names and I wouldn't link them to Disney, especially with two non-Disney sibling names
