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?

I like it.

Reminds me of a book I read as a child called "Hello Aurora".

I've always thought it sounded pretty.

I have heard it mentioned lots of times in forums, but never actually come across any in real life.

Love it! I have a Spanish friend with that name.

Isn't it Ow-rora (ow like in now) in Spanish? The Rs probably sound better in Spanish.

I assume so if my Hispanic friend Laura is pronounced L-ow (as in now)-ra.

It's lovley and posh and incredibly popular and can be Rory for short

Areola is exactly what it makes me think of too: see upthread. So with respect I think it really does.

Is it posh? I didn't think so.

Posh? No.

It is as ’posh’ as Juicy Couture.

Nah it’s a bit fussy, both speaking and sound-wise. And people will think it’s Laura said in a weird way.

Another vote here for Auralia

I want to love it but it’s just a bit of a mouthful and I find it difficult to say. It just doesn’t roll off the tongue very well.

Love the suggestion Aurelia that is a gorgeous name.

I cannot pronounce r's well and used to have a GP named Doctor Aurora
"Doct-or-or-or-a"

I also love Alora

Aurora is fine if your entire circle of family and friends, and Aurora's future friends, family and colleagues, speak with received pronunciation. The idea of the name is romantic - princess, dawn, Disney, - but the reality will be people shortening to Roara or Rara or whatever.

I don't like it. It would sound ok here in Scotland, as we roll our 'r's. But I'm still not keen, as there's too many people out there who could make it sound ugly.
I like Ophelia, Audrey and Aurelia.
