What is the Italian pronunciation of Aurora?

Audra is nicer

I think it’s lovely. To my ear it sounds nicer than Aurora.

I know teo Auras, both over 40. I always thought it was a lovely name.

Isn't it a job in Harry Potter?

That's Auror. They hunt the dark wizards geek I think Audra is a gorgeous name, or Aurora, but unless its a nickname, I'd avoid Aura for the aforementioned woo/migraine reasons...

You could use the French version of Aurora - Aurore.

Thanks @LadyMonicaBaddingham, it's been years since I've read the books so was mistaken. Blush

Like others have said, it looks pretty written down but reminds me of migraines.

Auras are the bane of my (very epileptic) existence. I love Audra though. Orla is nice enough as long as you pronounce the R but some accents don't and it loses its similarity to the sound of Aura in that case.

Audra is great, I vote Audra. Aurore is pretty too but would be very difficult to pronounce for average UK people probably - I speak French and I've still had to repeat it a load of times here just to get the two Rs sounding anything close to right
