We are down to two names for our little girl due in March. Clara Dawn or Melissa Dawn, we have one stillborn angel Aurora Blythe (hence Dawn) and I want her name to flow well with Aurora but not sound similar to Aurora. I want to be able to say her name with joy not fear. So, which is nicer Aurora and Clara or Aurora and Melissa? Which just sounds better on its own though Clara or Melissa? 💕

I'm pretty certain she'll be Melissa, however we'll bring both name to birth and see what suits her!

Clara is very dreary. I have 2 friends called Melissa, it’s a lovely name that’s probably due a comeback, but it does run the risk of being shortened to the dreadful ‘Mel’.
