Middle name for Aurora

[EffieP]

Aurora is a strong contender for our daughter but I’m not sure if the middle names we like go with it? Daisy, Lily, Margot, Willow and Xanthe, leaning more towards Margot or Willow. Does it matter if they don’t flow? Suggestions welcome.

I think Jasmine compliments Aurora nicely but it’s probably a bit too Disney princess lol.

I guess all the other people with a child called Aurora, a name more popular than your own child’s? Perhaps you should get off your high horse and realise your opinion isn’t one that everyone has to follow. It’s one thing to not like a name but to call it a joke is another as is saying anything who likes it lacks taste.

Effie, everybody judges names. It’s a simple basic fact, to a greater or lesser degree. You’ll have read baby name books or threads and been yourself!! Don’t be disingenuous

Anyone*

Anyway, I asked for middle name suggestions. Why don’t you offer your child’s name up for one? It’ll perhaps balance things out a bit and save my daughter’s potential name from looking like a joke seeing as you have taste and I don’t.

My child is a boy so I daresay that would attract even more attention! But best of luck to you with this one

Yes, I have opinions like everyone else and there are names I don’t like out there but I also respect that other people do. I don’t believe that everyone else must share my opinion or they lack taste if I don’t. You can’t dress up rudeness with “everyone has an opinion” As I said, get off your high horse or go and find a thread that actually asked for opinions on Aurora. You could share your expert knowledge with someone that actually wants it.

Chill out Effie! If you think it’s a nice name then crack on with it.
Clearly struck a nerve for whatever reason

Not at all, I didn’t ask for opinions as we’re happy with our first name options. I’m sure there are people out there who would pull a face at your son’s name too but you would have gone through many names and feel you chose the right one for him.

I just find the real joke to be people thinking they can be rude (online) and dress it up as an opinion. I don’t care if you don’t like the name but there was no need for the holier than thou attitude because you don’t. Just move along because all you’re comment has achieved is a waste of both our times.

And yet you are still going on at me

My thread, mate. Jog on if you don’t want to read it 👍🏼

Good lord, you don’t own a thread! How hilarious!

As in I started it. Bit rich coming from someone who knows how everyone feels about every name. I thought you were leaving anyway? This is just childish but I don’t mind indulging, if not!

I never said I was leaving, you are proper making me laugh, thank you

You’re welcome!

Don't be so touchy OP. One person says that Aurora is twee and you kick off!

Sorry, I guess I’m just not the type of person who sees the need to tell people a name they are considering is a joke, silly and that everyone thinks it’s twee. I’m sure many people do share that opinion but there are also many that don’t. Maybe that comes across as “disingenuous” of me but I just don’t see where it helps the person asking a question in any way! I’m sure my child will be fine if we do decide to go with Aurora, just as the many others out there must be :)

There are some real tiresome people on mumsnet OP.. With nothing better to do than be rude. Just ignore them!

Fwiw I love Aurora but there are many names I dislike that are proposed on here and have no issues in saying so. My own DC's names are often mentioned in a derogatory way on threads but I don't take offence as I know that not everyone has my good taste

Not when the question isn’t asking for opinions of the name, I mean. Everyone has different opinions/taste and I don’t expect everyone to like our choice but I also didn’t see the need to say that someone who likes a name you don’t “lacks” taste.

I'm with you OP. No need to give an opinion when it hasn't been asked for!!!

I honestly don’t mind if people don’t like the name lol. I just think there is a difference in being downright rude and sharing an opinion. Hey, at least my Aurora will be ok if someone does say anything to them as I’ll just kick off lol. Although hormones may not be so aggressive then lol.

A short, one syllable name or a name ending in a consonant would complement well.

People in rl won't say anything negative to you though I doubt.

Oh dear lol.

FWIF OP, we have only ever gotten compliments with ours. Her peers LOVE it because of the Disney connection - she was always called princess Aurora at nursery and that’s about the only connection children her age have, in our experience. Most importantly though, she loves it! It does seem to be a bit of a marmite name online... It’s something you’ll get used to lol.
