Thought on the name Aurora?

[RedRobyn2021]

I feel like this is the right now for our second DD

DP liked it when we discussed it earlier in the pregnancy but now he said he's worried it's like a stripper name

I don't think it is at all, please let me know your thoughts?

My 9 year old is Aurora and I love it now just as much as I loved it when I was pregnant. Her nickname has been Rory since birth which I never expected but I quite like it as it's quirky and normally given for a boy. She likes being called both!

I love it! Often wish I'd used it for my daughter

Ps I've never thought of it to be a stripper name! I think aurora borealis or princess aurora!

I can't pronounce my Rs very well (increasingly common) so would find it difficult for that reason. Auwrowra if I say it. It's not that bad if I say a name like Robert with a single R, but two Rs emphasise it.

I think of fireworks...😐

Not a fan. It seems like the kind of name a child would pick.

It seems to have become so popular in the last 5 years or so.

I don't think of it as a stripper name but I can't say I love it. Think it's an awkward and clunky sound.

It's lush. Doesn't matter what we think. There's always some who love it and some who hate it

Very popular but I love it

It is cute on a kid but my friend is Aurora and she goes by Rory because she feels embarrassed saying Aurora as an adult. But that's just her opinion

It is - my daughter declared Aurora to be her favourite name, and called her doll Aurora, when she was 6.

Love it! Beautiful name

Yes I think I wanted to call my future daughter Aurora when I was about 7 but thought better of it at 34.

I don't like it, the harsh 'roar' in the middle

I don’t find it a nice name to pronounce. It’s sort of clunky to say. Rory as a NN for a girl is cute.

I don't like it, sorry.

Agree with pp, it sounds like the kind of name a child would pick for their doll , very Disney Princessy.

As an adult, I can see where your husband is coming from, I'm afraid. It does sound more like a performers stage name than a high flying executive or serious professional etc

Pretty to look at but too difficult to say imo. Unless the pronouncer has very good diction, it will either end up "Awawa" or "A-Roarer".

On the other hand, my older one is definitely "A-Roarer" so the name would suit them.

I like it, def not a stripper name!
popular round here but not overly so

i I think it depends on where you are in the Uk to some extent though. In some accents it doesn’t sound nice.

not the same but I have a French friend called “Aurore” and NOBODY can say that properly!

Love it but Disney kind of wrecked it. Also some regional uk accents make it sound dire

what about Aurelia????

I'm not keen, mainly because I really don't like Rory on a girl.

Stunning!

I love Aurora. Sleeping Beauty is my all time favourite Disney movie and the line "yes they named her after the dawn, for she filled their lives with sunshine" is just beautiful to me. It's really popular at the moment if that concerns you.

What about Leonora or Eleanora

It’s the name of a Disney princess. For this reason I wouldn’t choose it myself.
Its pretty, not a stripper name.

I wonder if your Dp is thinking of areola if he’s connecting it with strippers?

For some reason it Aurora always makes me think of nipples, but it’s not really fair because Aurelia doesn’t, yet objectively it’s just as similar.

My DD is Aurora, it was DHs choice and not ideal in our northern accents, but she goes exclusively by Rory which suits her perfectly.
Our other option was Theodora, nickname Teddie
