Sibling name for Emilia Aurora

34 replies

MrsIndecisive2 · 25/03/2022 15:08

Hello,

I am looking for sibling names for my Daughter Emilia Aurora. My surname is short (4 letters).

Names I like so far are;
Girls; Reeva, Elodie, Sienna, Rosie, Alba, Selina.

Boys; Zayn, Blake, Archie, Beau.

I had a hard time naming my 1st child and slightly annoyingly most people mistake her for Amelia when introducing her. My middle name is Dawn which was my reasoning for having Aurora (I wanted Aurora as her 1st name but my OH didn't like it). Although neither if us personally know an Emilia or Amelia we have been told that the name Amelia is very popular so looking for something a little more unique for our 2nd. Considering Alba as it also means 'Dawn' Please could I have your thoughts on he above names and also any ideas of fresh names. Lookinf for 1st abd 2nd name combos. Thanks :)

I immediately thought Elodie Diana.

emmathedilemma · 25/03/2022 16:02

I think Sienna and Selina just have too many i and a sounds when you couple them with Emilia and Selina feels very dated to me.
I don't like Reeva, i think you'd spend a lot of time correcting people that it isn't River (and you have that gripe already with Emilia / Amelia!)
I quite like Alba, it's also the gaelic name for Scotland if that matters to you at all.
I'd go with Emilia and Elodie or Emilia and Alba.
Of your boys names I only like Archie.

Thanks, I'm open to new name suggestions of anyone has any!

Emilia and Amelia are both very popular but they are lovely

Alba is quite nice, so is Selina
Elodie is fine but a bit fussy and v now so it will date. sienna is ok but it’s gone a bit Disney Princess. Reeva is very undistinguished and reminds me of that poor girl who was killed.
Rosie and variations are ultra popular so you probably don’t want that.

Astra and Stella mean star, Lucinda, Lucia and Lucienne mean light, Celestine and Celestia mean heaven, otherwise Serena, Fernanda, Camilla, Adela, Sanchia, Cassia, Aphra might be other alternatives

Archie and Beau are nice, the latter is more unusual. Zayn and Blake are awful. Abel means wind I think. Or there is Atlas.. Otherwise Stellan, Laurence nn Laurie, Zachary or Zachariah nn Zach, Alistair, Kester, Saul, Joel, Blaise, Jude, Guy, Dashiell, might be others

How about Lucy (light) or Nova (new) for a girl?

I'd avoid anything else that begins and ends in a vowel sound but that's my personal preference as so many girls born in the past ten years seem to have very vowely names.

Harriet, Matilda, Edith, Beatrice, Dorothy, Imogen or Ingrid may work well.

MrsIndecisive2 · 29/03/2022 22:16

I'm starting to like Orla, so Emilia and Orla???

MrsIndecisive2 · 29/03/2022 22:16

Or Lucia? Still struggling with boys names!

Are you sure about Alba meaning dawn ? To the best or my knowledge it means white in latin...

Marty13 · 30/03/2022 03:15

Roxane means dawn in persian apparently so I'd suggest that as a middle name.

For a first name I like Lucia a lot. Lucia Roxane ?

For a boy, I like Zayne and Blake. Not keen on Archie (it's a pet peeve of mine but I can't stand diminutives used instead of a name). And Beau is a bit short, I prefer 2-3 syllable names as they give you more options for nicknames and sound less snappy.

In a similar style I'd suggest Zachary. Or, as you picked two Roman names for your daughter, if you want to keep that tradition going, I'd suggest : Antony, Magnus, Marius, Roman.

wizzler · 30/03/2022 03:30

Will you be naming dc2 with a reference to your oh as dc1 has a reference to your name?
I like Ivo for a ds and felicity goes nicely with Emilia I think

ButterRose · 30/03/2022 03:30

Roxana also means dawn as does Zora/Zorina, Zerlin or Oriana. Danica means morning star. Alba means white as far as I know but it is pretty same with Orla it means golden I think. Arla means early and Liane is daughter of the sun.

Boys names
You could go Lucian, Finlay, Elio, Altan, Sampson with similar meanings or Brantley (Brant), Callan, Merritt, Miles, Niall, Piers, Raiden, Rueben, Sorin, Trenton, Vaughn, Wesley, Willem

Orion for a boy..

knowinglesseveryday · 30/03/2022 23:50

Alba means sunset. Aurora means dawn.

Rockmehardplace · 31/03/2022 00:00

Alba is lovely. Or what about Stella or Seren for a girl? Seren is welsh for ‘star’.

Soren or Beau for a boy.

Lkakpk · 18/05/2022 15:08

@MrsIndecisive2 I just thought I would hop on and say are we same person 🤣 I’m having my second girl and my top choice is Reeva or Selina .
my favourite boys name is Blake and Zayne and my daughter is called Lucia 🤣🤣

MrsIndecisive2 · 07/06/2022 20:50

Ah wow! Originally we decided my daughters middle name would be Lucia but changed it at the last minute. We must have really similar tastes! What is your daughters name? I’m still so undecided!

Names I’m liking now are;

Emilia & Elodie
Emilia & Sienna
Emilia & Rose
Emilia & Indie
Emilia & Savanna
Emilia & Orla
Emilia & Ruby
Emilia & Amaya

for boys;

Emilia & Parker
Emilia & Roman
Emilia & Blake
Emilia & Zayn

how are you getting on?? X

Roman is probably more popular than you're wanting @MrsIndecisive2 . It's so trendy- the top fastest rising boy name, risen hundreds of places in official ONS charts to be top 30 but still rising so looks set to be top 10 in the next couple of years. Avoid the name if you're wanting anything even remotely different.
I like Blake, Parker and Zayn

mathanxiety · 09/06/2022 04:31

Emilia and Sienna sounds like a lovely combination imo.

I like Beau from your original list.

I really don't like Parker, Blake or Zayn from your current list. They sound quite Anglo Saxon and way too modern beside the classic Emilia.

Roman is nice and shares the soft Italian sound of Emilia.

Would you consider:
Oliver
Oscar
Samuel
Frederic
Theodore
Ivo
Leo
Louis
Gabriel

TheGetaway · 09/06/2022 04:35

Sienna Elodie

Beau Archie

Theoldwoman · 09/06/2022 04:36

The only Emilia I know has a sister called Aurora!

I like Rhiannon.
