Sienna first I'd say. How do you pronounce that other name?

FayCarew · 04/03/2024 19:27

What will you call her day-to-day? Sienna or Aurelia?
FWIW I'm not keen or either of them. Sienna is better than Aurelia, which has several ways of saying it.
Sienna goes better with the surname, and middle names are hardly ever used.

SkaneTos · 04/03/2024 20:05

Very pretty names!

I voted for Sienna Aurelia, but if she is to be called Aurelia, then I think Aurelia should be first.

Whatisityoucantface · 04/03/2024 20:05

You should simply choose the name you like best as the first name, that’s the name they’ll be called all the time.
They are the names of both Millie Mackintosh’s children FYI

Moreteaandchocolate · 04/03/2024 20:11

I really like Sienna! Not so keen on Aurelia, so would definitely choose Sienna Aurelia.

Tncake · 04/03/2024 20:22

I was just wondering which flows better.
we obviously like both names but can’t choose which one as her name.

why do ppl come on here to tell the poster they don’t like my choices??? I didn’t ask if you liked them I asked which flows better

I find it so disheartening when ppl go out of their way to just post they don’t like these names.

@Tncake , I find it so disheartening when ppl go out of their way to just post they don’t like these names.
I didn't just post that I didn't like the names. I said that one goes better with the surname.

The -lia Li- is a bit tongue-twistery

lioneggs · 04/03/2024 20:34

I think Aurelia Sienna Lingard flows better. I love both of the names! Prob prefer Aurelia because it's abit different but both gorgeous

SpringOfContentment · 04/03/2024 20:38

Aurelia Sienna
Otherwise I get a bit stuttery on the -a A- bit in the middle

Yuckyyuckyuckity · 04/03/2024 20:42

Sienna Aurelia flows best, but both are beautiful names. Just pick the one you like best as the middle name will rarely be used, I think that's more important than the flow.

Also hypothetically, if you were to have a second girl in the future (obv I know there's no way of telling that!!) would you be gutted you've used both names on the first girl?

Whiskerson · 04/03/2024 20:45

Do you want a daughter called Sienna or a daughter called Aurelia?

That's the real choice.

Her full name will almost never be said, so the flow doesn't matter. It's not like you're considering Aurelia Bedelia or something.

DarkDarkNight · 04/03/2024 20:51

Aurelia first. But I agree to use the name you absolutely love first not which flows better. I get it, I spent ages coming up with a name that flowed well with my son’s first name, but I chose the name I loved as a first name then worked around that.

user1492757084 · 05/03/2024 08:43

Sienna Aurelia Lingard sounds best to me, and I love the initials SAL rather than ASL.

PickledScrump · 05/03/2024 19:24

They don’t flow well as they both end in an a sound. Sienna Aurelia is very clunky as you have a lot of As in the middle and another on the end. Aurelia Sienna goes slightly better but doesn’t flow.

Chose the name you want to call her and pick something else for the middle name.

FayCarew · 05/03/2024 19:49

Sienna Lingard flows better than Aurelia Lingard

Oraylia

SummerOf46 · 05/03/2024 21:00

My daughter is called Aurelia lovely name ❤️

SummerOf46 · 05/03/2024 21:02

Doesn’t quite work but Aurelia flows better with others can’t think of any good flowing names for Sienna.

Aurelia Rose
Aurelia Kate
Aurelia Edith

RogueFemale · 06/03/2024 00:27

Sienna first flows best. In real life, no-one will be saying the middle name, just First Name-Surname.

HoHoHoliday · 06/03/2024 02:32

Sienna Aurelia flows best for me, though I don't think there is anything wrong with the other way around as full names are so rarely used.
If you love both names equally you could choose by nicknames? Do you prefer Sia or Ria/Lia?

Previousreligion · 06/03/2024 09:17

I think both would flow better with a name not ending in a. But I prefer Sienna first.

Watchthedoormat · 06/03/2024 09:20

Whichever is first it doesn't flow.
Nobody will be saying these names together.

I prefer Sienna.

DontGiveADuck · 06/03/2024 10:22

Aurelia as it’s the nicer name. I don’t think they flow together though either way.

SleepingStandingUp · 06/03/2024 10:52

Wait until you're really annoyed and then shout both full names out loud. Imagine it's the fifth time you've told them to put their socks on and you're 5 minutes late leaving the house and they're trying to argue that teddy needs breakfast too.

I think Sienna Aurelia is a bit Sienna Or Alia. I prefer Aurelia Sienna. But gorgeous tho
