Aurora?

[Liverbird77]

I'm newly pregnant, so we don't know if we are having a boy or a girl.
We have one ds, Hector. We have quite a few ideas for boys' names, but can't agree on girls'.
The one name we both like is Aurora, nn Rory.
What do you think?
Is it chavvy or lovely? Is it too popular - the new Ella?
All opinions welcome.

I'm with you, @Leopardprintboots!

@DramaAlpaca yes I think that’s right but the little girls name is definitely spelt Noah ❤️

Not keen on aurora but love Rory non

You could consider Oriel, Aurelie, Aurielle?

I love Aurora

I don’t like it because it takes a lot of lips to say it iyswim. It doesn’t just fly off the tongue.

I know of 3 auroras under 1 x

It's beautiful and personally I don't think it's chavvy because the only Aurora I know is borne of a very posh Canadian lady.

If you like the nickname Rory why don't you go for Lorelei? For inspiration just watch the Gilmore Girls

Aurora is beautiful

Thanks for your input, everyone.
We still have ages to decide but Aurora is defo the frontrunner at the moment.
Middle name under consideration is Blythe.
We both love the name and it works in both English and Spanish (dh is Spanish and we obviously have a Spanish surname).
Other names up for discussion:
Octavia
Leonor
Livia
Cosima ( he doesn't like it)

Leonor is lovely what about lenorah?

Love Cosima.

Leonor is too like Lenor.

Leonor ?! Like Lenor? No way sorry

I vote Aurora nn Rory - love that name

I really like Rory for a girl (definitely because of gilmore girls) but I just think Aurora sounds weak. I have met 3 Aurora's (1 9 year old and 2 toddlers) and I've not felt it suited any of them. Plus one dog (seems a weird name for a dog too)

Octavia a beautiful. I've only ever met one and she is also beautiful. She's 5

Leonor is a Spanish name. It is actually the name of the future queen.
We wouldn't associate it with Lenor, but maybe it would be the case in the UK. Thanks -that is worth considering.

Hector is gorgeous!
And I love the middle name Blythe.
How about:
Antonia
Cecilia
Dorothea
Thea
Miranda
Tabitha
Rowena
Susannah
Meredith

Leonor is a Spanish name.

So is Paloma but it means pigeon. Names don’t always don’t cross borders well.

@TatianaLarina yeah, thanks for that.
We are half English/half Spanish so the children will spend a good proportion of their time in Spain.
Paloma can actually also be translated as "dove". I think it's quite nice!

Aurora is quite trendy at the moment. I do think it is a bit chavvy.

Leonor is beautiful.

Sounds awful in my accent (& I do pronounce my Rs - maybe too much?!) and the Disney link makes it a bit tacky.

It’s such a beautiful name @Liverbird77 love Aurora ❤️

What about Leona instead,or Amoura/Amora? Love Blythe - is it a family surname?

Hector is a really great name. I'd go with Leonor which is a beautiful name. I think non-Spanish speakers are assuming it's pronounced lee-a-nor not lay-o-nor so ignore the fabric softener comments. I do think Aurora is becoming very trendy and will date.
