Aurora was originally our favourite, but I love Meadow too!! I’m so indecisive, which one do you like best?

Meadow. Aurora to me is a Disney princess and I find it cringe

Meadow for me too. Both are pretty though! Do you have a middle name? If so, does one sit better with it than the other?

Aurora

Meadow is lovely as a middle name

It depends very much on your accent, but Meadow looks nicer in written form.

Aurora is more classical and well known now so won't raise any eyebrows. Meadow needs the right personality/confidence to pull off imo.

Meadow. Has lovely connotations and Aurora can sound a bit odd in certain accents. Does it flow with your surname?

daisypond · 31/12/2020 21:38

I’m struggling with those. Aurora is too Disney Princess, no matter how much I tell myself “Roman goddess of the dawn”. I don’t mind Meadow, but it’s in middle name territory for me.

I have a Durham accent, I think it sounds nice in my accent and my family don't have trouble saying it. I have quite a neutral accent and I don’t sound too Geordie (because I don’t live in Newcastle)

Aurora for sure, it’s a nice name. I wouldn’t like to be named Meadow.
