In need of a second opinion: Alice Aurora / Aurora Fay

[annawc]

Beginning my search for baby names 🙂

Can I hear your honest opinions on these name combinations:
Alice Aurora
Aurora Fay (open to 'Fay' spelling variations)

[Birdiboo]

I like Aurora Faye, they are both names on my girls list 🥰

[AngelasAirpods]

Aurora can be difficult to pronounce for some. Alice or Fay on the other hand…

[Hoolihan]

I love Alice but Aurora just seems like too much of a mouthful. Faye is ok.

[Watchthedoormat]

I love Alice but it doesn't have the same vibe as Aurora and I really don't like them together.
Aurora and Fay sit well together so I'd go Aurora Fay of the two.

[user1492757084]

I love Alice.
Alice Aurora of the two is better.
I also like Alice Faye.

Aurora looks sweet and sounds well when people who can say it speak.
Otherwise, Aurora can be a mixed up, ugly sound.

[RightWhereYouLeftMe]

I like Alice but don't think it goes well with Aurora when said together. Are these first and middle names, or a double first names? If first and middle then I don't think it really matters whether the names go well and they are hardly ever said together.

I like Fay as a name - do not like Faye, the e just looks so unnecessary and fussy to me.

[Mumofgirls2017]

Aurora Fae 🥰

[Smartiepants79]

Aurora is a Disney character to me so I wouldn’t choose it for that reason.
I like Alice.

I like Alice.

Like... in Wonderland?

Aurora Fay is the better option by far - but young children will really struggle to pronounce it.

[GoalShooter]

I like Alice Aurora - beautiful.

[mintich]

Aurora Fay

[ThomasinaLivesHere]

Aurora Fay flows better than Alice Aurora however it’s unlikely she will be known as that. She’ll be either Aurora or Alice so I think choosing your fav first name is more important than the flow of first and middle name.

[Rauha]

Alice Aurora

[Veryfishy]

Aurora Faye
I do like Alice but think it needs a longer middle name … Alice Felicity ?
Or Alicia Faye

[GoodChat]

To be fair you could also use Aurora Alice as it flows better than Alice Aurora

First and middle, but not opposed to a double first name if a nice combination can be found.

Thank you to everyone sharing your opinions with us! I'll share them with my husband later so we can begin to compile a list of possible names & combinations.

[DuchessOfSausage]

Not Aurora. Lots of people can't say R.

Aurora Fay is the better option by far - but young children will really struggle to pronounce it.

I know several Alice’s, it is a fairly classic English name that predates Alice in Wonderland. When I hear it , it’s not the first thing I think.
Aurora is more unusual, the only Aurora I know is the Disney one so that is the association I have.
Aurora Fay is very fairy like. I prefer Alice.
The OP asked for opinions!

[RuthW]

I have trouble saying Aurora. I love Fay

[PossiblyNotOne]

Aurora Fay. But definitely not hyphenated, that’s been done to death. Also it’s too much of a mouthful.

[RosaSkye]

Another vote for Aurora Fae with that spelling

I do really like Alice though, just not sure on Alice Aurora

[JulieHoney]

Not sure about Aurora
She'll have a heck of a time in nursery with the little kids struggling with Rs - it's much more of a stubbling block with internal Rs compared to Ruby or Rose.

[DuchessOfSausage]

Fae is dreaful. Fay is nice. Faye is just complicating a nice simple name.

[Rightnowstraightaway]

I actually like Fay the most!

Aurora Fay has very fairy princess vibes for me.
Alicia Fay?

[ourflagmeansdeath]

Alice Aurora - I think it sounds a bit clumpy together and Alice is so plain to me
Aurora Fay (open to 'Fay' spelling variations) - I really love this! It's fairytale like but overly so and it's really pretty. I prefer Faye but Fay is nice to. Defo not Fae. Aurora is gorgeous though
