I prefer Violet.
I think Aurora Lily runs into each other too much but Aurora Violet is lovely.

I was gonna say Lily as I dislike the name Violet a lot and anyway I don't like how it sounds after your first name choice.

Jelly4444 · 23/09/2020 23:32

Aurora Lily! Much nicer than Violet in my opinion.

Inkpaperstars · 24/09/2020 00:49

Lily. Violet just doesn't seem to flow after Aurora though I suppose you'll rarely say the full name.

MercyBodle · 24/09/2020 02:38

Hard one as both are lovely names and I think both work perfectly well after Aurora. Aurora Lily by a pinch!

Aurora just sounds like roar roar roar. Really awful, sorry. If you are certain, then Lily is the better choice.

I had a Great Aunt Lil and a Great Aunt Vi, though during the war one was known as The American Sweetheart.

Grumpy19 · 24/09/2020 09:40

Violet is lovely

Voilet I was going to give this to my daughter (6 months) very popular where I live.

S111n20 · 24/09/2020 13:44

Aroura voilet is absolutely stunning name 👍

Mish85 · 24/09/2020 14:45

I think Aurora Lily, mainly because of Aurora's meaning and link to colour, Aurora Violet just seems too heavy on the colour theme. But they both sound lovely.

RosieLemonade · 24/09/2020 20:45

How many threads do you want about this?

KoalasandRabbit · 24/09/2020 21:04

Lily and then it also matches the waterlily Aurora. Like Violet but reminds me of Violence so that sounds like 'a roar of violence' to me. I prefer both Violet and Lily to Aurora. Violet Lily would be my first choice.
