Aurora or Allegra?

[JanewaysBun]

DD has No name!
My favourite is Athena which DH thinks "doesn't sound like a name"

I also like aurora and allegra. I feel like Allegra is easier to pronounce but just feeling confused and hormonal. I like unusual names so allegra fits that more but finding it hard to let go of Athena!

Isn’t Allegra an allergy medicine?
I like Aurora but I LOVE Athena and it definitely is a name!

If you want unusual then Allegra is the better one as Aurora is really popular at the moment. I agree with you that Athena is a great name but you have to both like it.

Allegra is a nice name, it’s unusual and would work on an adult. Despite the celestial connotation I’m afraid I now just think of aurora as a Disney princess name.

What other names do you like op?

I like Allegra.

I think it's an allergy Mediciene in the US apparently as learned that via Google but had never heard of it over here.

I just don't know if DH would come around to Athena if he heard it more. Additionally I like Daphne, Clover and Anastasia which he has vetoed. He suggested Eliza which is quite nice , Polly is nice too but we have a plain surname (jones) so I wanted something memorable fot her first name.

Love Athena!

Out of the other two definitely Allegra.

Auroras to too much of a pretty princess name for me, but I think that both Allegra and Athena are strong feminine names, I really like them both! My DH has a work colleague named Athena, she's Greek, but it's definetly a proper name!

I prefer Aurora to Allegra and love Athena!

I know a little girl called Amora which I think is lovely, it’s similar to the kind of names you like I think

What about

Ottilie
Aurelia
Clementine (Clemmie)

Aurora sound like cheap orange squash to me.
clover is the name of a cow.
Athena sounds good, Allegra is OK.
what about Althea, ~
Petronella, except re wyatt of course, re Boris Johnson.
Petrovna
Natasha

depending on your husband's name, sometimes versions of that can sound very distinctive, and a subtle link to the father, eg Nigella, Domenica, Simone, Nicola, Nicolette, Carla, Charlotte, Edwina, Harriet, Jacqueline, Francesca, ...

good luck. congrats,

Love Aurora. Allegra sounds a bit hard edged to me. Athena was a poster shop back in the day so it's a no from me. I like Alethea too.

Thanks all, Aurelia is quite nice it's so hard as we found DS' name in 2 mins and this is dragging on..

I like Athena, Allegra too - she would be Ally for short which is nice. I don’t like Aurora because I can’t say it with the two ‘r’ sounds between the vowels. I say it like Owowa!

I like Allegra and Athena. Less keen on Aurora. Just sounds like a noise. Allegra and Athena are strong and powerful sounding names. I also love Ariadne which might suit your taste as well.

Allegra is the name of Boris Johnson's first wife.

Just saying.

I like Aurora nn Rory.

And Athena is a 1970s poster business.

I don't like Aurora. It's cute for a little girl but I wouldn't enjoy the Disney princess vibe as an adult. I prefer Allegra.

Love them all!

Allegra is really pretty.

The other two are nice too but Athena is the name of the computer system the police use in some forces. Make of that what you will...

Aurora 100%

Yes it's gaining popularity but then I only know 2 Olivia's and that's the most popular name there is!

Polly is a brilliant name and I think it's unusual enough to stand out. Polly Jones sounds good I think.

Otherwise Allegra is less popular so I prefer it.

I was thinking Athena as the Greek goddess, but now all I can think of is that tennis woman scratching her arse! . Allegra is the US brand name of an antihistamine, but unlikely to be an issue as it's Telfast in the UK.

I think Althea would constantly be spelled / pronounced Anthea, which could be annoying

Aurora is beautiful. I can’t stand Allegra
