First name and surname flow?

Got a few different names for our baby and one of them is Aurora.
Our surname is Sheaffer (pronounced shay-fer)
Do you think Aurora Sheaffer is too many syllables or am I just overthinking?

It would be a lovely name.

Astronaut8 · 13/05/2021 17:22

Love this name

Stevearnottsbeard · 13/05/2021 17:22

I personally wouldn't, too many R sounds but I'm not a fan of aurora so probably biased

Topseyt · 13/05/2021 17:24

It's fine. Go for it.

IggyAce · 13/05/2021 17:24

Sounds fine to me.

Koolandorthegang · 13/05/2021 17:26

I have clunky three syllable first and surnames. I personally don’t like them but it hasn’t caused any issues. You mostly use your first name in conversation all the time anyway. Not saying your name choice is clunky, i think it’s fine.

A bit heavy on the rs for me.

Happycat1212 · 13/05/2021 17:30

It doesn’t sound right to me, it’s a bit much together. But I do love aurora so difficult one!

bridgetreilly · 13/05/2021 17:59

It's not too many syllables, but it's a bit of a mouthful because of all the repetitive rah rah sounds.

SleepingStandingUp · 13/05/2021 18:01

Aurora is lovely, and I think it sounds fine, its easy to say, you're not tripping over sounds.

partyatthepalace · 13/05/2021 18:35

It’s OK, you could probably find better combinations

MercyBodle · 14/05/2021 14:48

Those names sound good together. It really works for me!

KirstenBlest · 14/05/2021 18:38

I don't like Aurora - too many Rs.
Runs the risk of sounding like Olola, Owowa or Ovova.

ladygindiva · 14/05/2021 18:41

I think that flows fine. My mum always wanted to call me Eleanor but our surname sounds very like it and also starts with a vowel so she didn't because it didn't flow! I think it does matter!

Your threads aren’t adding up.

The other day you wanted Atlas.

The thread before that which you started on the name Atlas stated that you already had a daughter named Aurora....

Now you’re saying you want to use Aurora

Somepeoplemightthink · 14/05/2021 18:47

You posted the other thread under @abbieamelia7

tentosix · 14/05/2021 19:11

Too many r's. Sounds very clunky
