Gotten it down to two middle names. It’s between Aurora Esme and Aurora Violet.
Which one do you prefer?
We’re torn between using Violet this time or saving it if our next baby is a girl.

Save Violet if you love it. Esme is lovely with Aurora, and if you use all your best names now you may regret it later. I'm careful to give my kids middle names that I wouldn't want as first names for future kids!

Aurora Esme works or maybe Aurora Vivienne if you love Vs?

RunningFromInsanity · 17/12/2020 23:30

Aurora Esme

(Although if you were going to have another girl, Aurora and Esme go together better then Aurora and Violet)

abbie777 · 17/12/2020 23:30

The other name that we liked was Seraphina but I go back and forth between that and Violet

Use Violet if you love it. There are no guarantees of future babies, or future girl babies.

Violet is my 2nd favourite girls names so I’m biased it is absolutely gorgeous!
I saved it instead of using it for DDs mn but I’ve since had 2 boys so it wasn’t to be.
Aurora Primrose ?

Esmae Violet

If you don't use Violet this time, would you be disappointed if you never got to use it ?
My SIL had this problem, she used her second favourite name as a middle name for her DD1, when she had her DD2, there weren't any other names she liked so she used the middle name again as DD2's first name Smile

Not Esme, but Violet and Primrose are both lovely.

MercyBodle · 17/12/2020 23:56

I like Aurora Violet best, but there's nothing wrong with Aurora Esme, and since you may want to use Violet for another child, that seems good enough reason to use Aurora Esme this time.

Jennifer Garner has two daughters called Violet and Seraphina.

Katgolde · 18/12/2020 08:30

Aurora Violet flows better. Esme would be a nice first name if she has a sister one day!

lilly2000 · 18/12/2020 09:31

Both are stunning names but I’d go with Aurora! Really popular name too

Spied · 18/12/2020 09:33

Violet for mn!

ILoveStickers · 18/12/2020 10:07

Aurora Esme for me.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 18/12/2020 11:06

Aurora Esme for me. I've never liked Violet (although I love Viola) - I just see Violent when written.

abbie777 · 18/12/2020 16:25

Which ones popular? Aurora, Violet or Esme?

OP posts:
Oneandabean · 18/12/2020 18:44

Esme and violet are both popular, and I think Aurora is on the rise now too.

abbie777 · 18/12/2020 18:51

Ah, I didn’t choose Violet because I know it’s very popular though I don’t know any personally, the same with Esme and I know someone who’s daughter is Esme. We picked Aurora because it has a very important meaning to us, and again I don’t know any personally, according to this years ONS stats it’s actually trending downwards (which I was pleased to see) so I’m hoping that it won’t be mega popular.

What do you think of Aurora Souline? Found this name recently and thought it was really pretty🙃.
