We like either Aurora or Sage for our baby girl, which one do you like better? Is Aurora too common now?

Both of them bring my work to mind, ie AWS Amazon Aurora and Sage the software, but that’s just me I suppose.

Sage is a boys name to me.
I know one of each ( both older teens) but still, it seems like a boy's name.

Of the 2 I prefer Sage but my first thought is "do they have a sibling called onion".

I've met 2 Aurora's in my life - a child with a speech impediment who introduced herself as "Ohlola" until she was almost 8 which of course stuck as her nickname and an adult who has always gone by Rory because she doesn't think she's girly enough to carry off a Disney Princess name.

Aurora.

A saige is a fortune teller or wise person isn,t it. DEf Aurora. Sage also sounds Male to be.

Aurora is lovely

Aurora! Love that name

I'm a primary teacher with a slight speech impediment and a child called Aurora is the stuff of nightmares.

I can’t say my r’s. I say Auworwa for Aurora. I’d hate that to be my name!

Aurora is a very popular choice at the moment. My friend's grandaughter is 'a roarer' as she terms it i.e. cries a lot at the moment.

Aurora is much nicer. Sage makes ne think of accounting software and the scientific advisory group.

PoodleMoth · 22/11/2020 17:18

Love Sage, used to really like Aurora but it does seem to be a bit common at the moment!

Aurora needs to be ethereal. It wouldn't sit well on a non ethereal girl.

Sage is a government advisory committee.

Aurora is lovely.

missmouse101 · 23/11/2020 21:57

Can't bear roar roar roar. Sage is very sweet.

joystir59 · 25/11/2020 21:29

Saugacia is better than either Sage or Aurora imo

festivebug · 26/11/2020 08:28

Sage!Smile
I do really like Aurora though.

@YukoandHiro It's gender neutral but far more common for girls. Smile
