Is this too strange for a girl or is it usable?

Isn't that something u get before a migraine

I met a toddler Aura quite recently. Don’t love it, but don’t hate it. Misheard the mother (who was calling to her), assumed she was saying Aurora initially.

Ha...migraine was my first thought too!

Not a nice thought ...believe you me.

Thumbs down I'm afraid.

MrsEricBana · 02/10/2018 14:29

Aurora yes, Aura prob not. Alba?

LusaCole · 02/10/2018 14:30

I prefer Aurora.

RebeccaCloud9 · 02/10/2018 14:31

I like but thinking ahead to the teenage years, sounds a bit like oral.

ReggieKrayDoYouKnowMyName · 02/10/2018 14:32

Looks like you’ve missed a letter off of Laura. It’s a no from me.

DaniC18 · 02/10/2018 15:09

Aura is a quirky nickname for Aurora but not sure I like it as a stand alone name. It feels very unfinished to me x

missmouse101 · 02/10/2018 15:10

No! Cara much better.

Rebellia · 02/10/2018 15:26

Aura sounds like oral. Cue lots of teasing in secondary school.

Aurora is nice though.

albert92 · 02/10/2018 15:26

Don't think it, seems like something is missing

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 02/10/2018 15:36

It's odd, not quite a name. I would assume it's a shortened Aurora or Laura.

Cbeebiesrehab · 02/10/2018 15:53

I know someone who named their baby Aura and my mind went straight to oralBlush (maybe says more about me than their choices in names but there you go)

worstmotherintheworld · 02/10/2018 15:56

It looks like a few letters have been left out.

florenceheadache · 02/10/2018 16:04

What you get before a seizure...not a name.

Polkasq · 02/10/2018 16:08

Woo and migraines I'm afraid.

Cora, Laura, Aurora all nice though.

LeeMiller · 02/10/2018 17:24

Aurora, Aurelia, Aube, Aurelie, Laura are all nice names.

Aura just makes me think migraine.

SneakySneaky · 02/10/2018 18:16

It’s much easier to pronounce than Aurora (I’m mystified as to why that name is so popular) but it still sounds a bit off to me.

How do you feel about Laura? Or other names with a similar sound- Cora? Norah?

Migraine AuraConfused

Not a name

DramaAlpaca · 07/10/2018 23:06

It's a no from me.

Cattenberg · 07/10/2018 23:10

I've always liked it, but thought it would be confused with Laura. To me, it sounds quite mystical and New Agey. It also makes me think of gold.

MrsFoxPlus4 · 08/10/2018 00:57

Had never heard of it at all till a girl on my Instagram called her daughter Aura last month
