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 :)

Elodie -> M-L-O-D or Melody

I like Amaya

If you like Alba, which is lovely, you could also consider Alborada which is a poetic Spanish word for sunrise.

I really dislike Alba. Sorry but it just makes me think of 🍳

Blake Roman and Zayn Roman are fabulous, or Zak is more mainstream.

@MrsIndecisive2 we definitely have similar tastes . My first daughter is Lucia . I have found out I’m having another girl and I’m thinking it will be Reeva . I love Isabella but it’s so common isn’t it and I also love Sienna but again quite popular . It’s hard !

Sure is! Are you based in the UK? I loved Sienna for my first baby but I know 5 Sienna’s born within 3 months of her! It’s strange because Sienna was showing as number 24 on the charts and Emilia was number 28 but I literally don’t know any babies or older children with that name; which is why we went to it. I also loved Harper but again know a lot of babies recently born with that name. I don’t know any Reeva’s although people do like to tell me that they hate the name. I think it’s lovely and special meaning as we live by a River. Isabella is beautiful. Our family pet is named Bella I’ve always loved that name. Where I am there are not many Isabella’s but this may be regional? Good luck and congratulations on having another Princess x

Reeva - I'm not a fan. I think Raya is lovely though and sounds similar. There is the Disney movie so people may assume a Disney link though with Aurora. I have only ever met one Raya and she was a lovely, fiesty little thing

Elodie - not a fan, I prefer the similar sounded Melody

Sienna - I really dislike this, but if you like Sienna you might like Savannah or Anya / Enya - they have a similar vibe to me

Rosie - I like it as a NN but would choose a full name personally. I really like Rosa, Primrose and Rosalind
Alba - it's nice enough, seems a bit faddy. Astrid could be another option
Selina - pretty, I like this. I also like the similar Serena

Zayn - it's just a bit meh and the spelling seems a bit down-market. Zane or even Zain would be better but it's not a name I like

Blake - not a fan either sorry

Archie - it's ok but if you are worried about popularity I would definitely avoid

Beau - again it's ok but I'm not sure I would be happy being a grown man named Beau. Cute on a little boy. Brody, Bodhi, Rory have a similar vibe.

Im not wanting to be negaitive but really....Beau....as in Beau Peep....he'll not thank you for that when he goes to school

Each to their own I suppose but they all sound a bit pretentious to me.....Im a bit old fashioned though.....
