Aurora

Posting this for a friend - too lispy / disney?

I like it but prefer Aurelia.

I also prefer Aurelia.....It sounds less Disney.

Love both aurora and Aurelia

Makes me think Disney princess. I know one who goes by the nn Rory.

Such a pretty name, but it's becoming way too overused and the pronunciation is a bit clumsy.

I thought that it was a bit of a faff to say so I ruled it out for my DD. However, a good friend of my names her DD Aurora a few months after mine was born and after spending time with her I've found it's actually really easy to say. She also gets called Rora and Rory which I just love 😍

I did like it until I was on a train recently and a woman who was, erm, a bit rough, shouted "RORA" at her little girl, it just sounded awful.

And it's not that overused. Not compared to the usually top 20 names anyway!

Dawn. Prettier and less of-the-moment.

Omg never thought of the nn Rory!! Gosh I wish I’d used this name now. It’s beautiful and can be made more funky if wanted with nn Rory. Other more feminine nicknames also an option too. Perfect

@Morado agree it’s really not overused at all. Not met any in past few years at baby groups but know a friend of a friend with an Aurelia

My daughters name. Age 12.

She is so undisney it's not even funny. Total tomboy.

We call her Rorie most of the time.

It's pretty. But the nn Rory on a girl is ridiculous. Rora's OK.

😂

NcHere sorry I hadn't seen your post before I posted. The Rorie spelling is better on a girl

Rory is derived from Red King in Irish, so it's very masculine to me

Bless. No worries. It does honestly suit her bit I've always liked to challenge stereotypes :)

Very sweet of you to apologise x

I'm used to Rory on a girl because I loved Gilmore girls where the main character is called Rory (short for Lorelai)

Auri alternative nn to Rory too.

Aurora such a cool name

Love Aurora!

Very Disney.

Dislike Aurora, I find it too frilly. Love Rory/Rorie though!

Not keen. I hear Owowa.

I don't like it, for some reason it's linked to the word areola in my head!

Friend is in 2 minds... she can’t find a name she likes as much (thinks Aurelia is beautiful but not the name for her) but equally can be a mouthful and too Disney !

Love Aurora.

Aurelia sounds too much like areola!
