Help! A sister for Aurora

[KazimirKitten]

I’m expecting DD2 imminently
and I’m really struggling with names, to say the least!

DD1 is called Aurora. I am worried we haven’t found a name we love quite as much that (and somehow that unfairly disadvantages DD2 which makes me feel bad)

current names on the list:

Sasha - was a front runner but not sure.

Charlotte - husband loves, I feel it’s middle name territory?

Catalina - although no Spanish heritage likely vetoed by DH.

I have a name ending in -ella so that wipes out some names that could go?

any suggestions gratefully received!

thank you so much wise women of mumsnet!

Carabosse?

Soleil, pretty name, means sun so fits with Aurora

Celine? Then you have one for the sun and one for the moon

If you want to stay with a ‘theme’ Luna is the goddess of the moon in Roman mythology (or more obliquely you could use Diana).

Or Selena

Sorry but none of those names really go with Aurora.

The PPs suggestion of Celine is lovely.

Sticking on a theme, but these are all really pretty:

Astrid
Astra
Selina/Selena
Estelle
Nova

⭐🌙

Thank you for the suggestions so far. Hadn’t considered a theme for names before - so a good new name-avenue to explore

Something long and not related or vowel heavy.
Georgina, Miranda, Vanessa, Felicity, Helena, Verity, Claudine...

Saskia
Cassandra
India
Savannah
Cassia
Ottilie
Ophelia
Marina

Stella,
Helena,
Eleanor
Celeste
Oriana
Xanthe

?

I would avoid Sasha as, although lovely, any time you need to say "Aurora and Sasha" that's an awful lot of a sounds!

I think Charlotte sounds lovely with it. Also like the Celine/Selena suggestions.

Elspeth
Freya
Christina
Lucia
Jasmine
Mabel
Ianthe
Willow
Jemima
Imogen
Grace
Eliza
Paloma
Violet
Seraphina
Hazel

My suggestions would be
Aurora &
Matilda
Valeria
Cecily
Helena
Beatrice
Callista
Tabitha
Cordelia
Odelia

Sasha is quite nice
Catalina is a bit of a mouthful with Aurora
Charlotte is done to death

Katerina is nice.

if keeping with Latin roots, Marina

Aurora and Marina sound beautiful together!

Stella?

Aurora’s sister is Marina! It has to be - the two names would be gorgeous togehter 😍I don’t like your 3 choices, all so plain next to the whimsical and pretty Aurora.

Ahhh just read the thread and someone got there before me with the Marina idea! I purposely didn’t read the other posts to avoid being influenced, but see! This shows that Marina is perfect with Aurora 😄
