Appreciate everyone voting for both Clara and Eloise but have decided on Aurora and happy with that! So just looking for a complimentary second girls name. Leaning towards Mila/Amelia!

Any thoughts on Mila and Aurora?

I would immediately think of the Ingham family, but I'm sure that wouldn't be the case for everyone.
Just go with your gut feeling.

I must admit I wouldn’t use Amelia with Aurora - 2 A names might be a post hassle. I’d at least consider similar Emilia (Mila) - its Latin origins work better with Aurora too ( I feel the same about Camilla which also has Roman/Latin origins so works nicely with Aurora.)

They are all very pretty but all also a bit trendy- with Eloise and Clara being the least so and Mila and Aurora the most.If I had to pick two as a sibset then Aurora and Eloise I think as they sound quite good together being both 3 syllable with repeated vowels.

But If you are set on Aurora, then I’d definitely consider Selena or Selene for a sisters name instead - Aurora The Goddess of the Dawn and Selene the Goddess of the Moon are lovely meanings and work great together.

Alternatively I’d maybe look for a similarly mythological or nature based name - like Lara (rather than Clara) Maia/Maya, Gaia, Thalia, Diana, Xanthe, Cassia, Lily, Rosa, Jasmine, Willow etc to pair with Aurora.

We’re calling ours Aurora, and have already said that if we have a second girl in the future we’d love to call her Selena. Nicknames of Rory & Sally 🥰
