Love Aurora

peboh · 21/12/2020 09:04

I love Aurora and Sunday, not a big fan of the others.

FelicityPike · 21/12/2020 09:09

I know (of) 5 Aurora’s under 6 years old.
I don’t like it.
I don’t like Story. Monroe isn’t bad.
I know a wee boy Navy.

I like them all except Capri which for some reason reminds me of a 90s playboy bunny

Firebird83 · 21/12/2020 10:11

Don’t like any of them, but Aurora is probably the best option.

abbie777 · 21/12/2020 15:06

What area are you in?

abbie777 · 21/12/2020 15:08

I don’t know any Aurora’s of that helps.
I love Capri and had it on my list
Monroe is okay but I don’t really like unisex names
Like Sunday but couldn’t see it on my child
I like story too

How about Aurelia instead of Aurora - it's a bit less Disney princess? But out of your list Meadow is the only name I vaguely like.

Although I can imagine a toddler being called any of the names on your list, I don't really think they would really suit an adult woman.

Do you have an unusual name yourself OP? Everyone I know who has an unusual name has called their children names from the top 50 as they haven't wanted their children to be saddled with a quirky name as they know what that's like themselves!

I like unusual names. I've never met anyone with my name - it's from a play by Shakespeare and I get lots of compliments on it. So, I do understand the appeal of choosing a name which is a bit more 'out there', however I'm not that keen on any of your choices -

Story - bit silly, also means level / floor
Monroe - hard for a little girl to live up to
Aurora - don't know any, find it a bit frilly and it's a bit of a mouthful
Capri - sun
Sunday - dislike days of the week used as names
Meadow - ok, reminds me of the Sopranos and I feel like there are nature names which are much nicer
Navy - nope - military associations

Story - no
Monroe - too closely associated with Marilyn
Aurora - too princessy and popular on here
Capri - is your surname Ford?
Sunday - ok
Meadow - not hideous
Navy - In the Navy.

Depends on your surname. Sunday Best would be too jokey.

I like Sunday or Aurora. Meadow is OK but a bit wet.

Munroe - I think you have to be Scottish or it's odd, unless a family name I guess. Also sounds a bit more like a boys name to me.

Capri is a stripper name , Story sounds like something someone would adopt in addiction recovery.
