My sis has suggested this name and i like it but wasn't sure if it was a real persons name IYSWIM until this weekend when a FOF's baby pics on FB came up and she has an Aurora and made it seem 'real'....(she was adorable too which helps!!)

What do you lot think?

Not my cup of tea ...

I love it, there is a mn'er with a dd called Aurora and I think try nn her Rorie which is very cute too.

Disney

Absolutely awesome pair of skis.

ihaveaquestion2010 · 26/04/2010 11:15

I really like it.

CakeandRoses · 26/04/2010 11:20

I love it but was put off after seeing a few Mnetter's say their DHs had vetoed the name by saying 'What if she has a Johnathan Woss style speech impediment?'

Probably a bit silly to worry about that but it put me off.

Love it.

My niece-in-law was going to give her baby that as a middle name to Daisy but chose not to from too many people's "ooh-er" reactions. She instead gone for Ava, which I also think is lovely.

StrictlyKatty · 26/04/2010 11:37

I thinks it's beautiful

debaronz · 26/04/2010 11:43

I think it's a lovely name.

Shaz10 · 26/04/2010 11:44

Where Wayne and Garth live. But I still like it.

diddl · 26/04/2010 11:45

Like it!

GladioliBuckets · 26/04/2010 13:21

I find it quite an unpleasant sensation to say it out loud actually but that's my problem. Can you imagine calling it out loud though?

mathanxiety · 26/04/2010 17:37

Disney.

Aurelia is a lot nicer, imo.

boodleboot · 26/04/2010 17:37

i kind of get you Gladiolibuckets......its not an easy word is it but I could imagine calling it out or certainly Rorie i could imagine calling out on a more regular basis!!

is it the one tho....hmmm

(i am starting to believe 'the one' doesn't actually exist in RL.....)

Its myy DD's middle name, (as ex refused to let me use at her first name) And we use it as a first name now as DD prefers it. We Use Rora as a nickname.

Its a lovely name but.... i would say that

BellaBalloon · 26/04/2010 19:12

so pretty but agree with comment about J Ross.
Aurelie?
Auriel?

GladioliBuckets · 26/04/2010 19:39

Odette?

How about the French version, Aurore? A bit less Disney, tres chic even.

debaronz · 26/04/2010 20:28

Arianna or Aurelia would be nice alternatives.

Magaly · 26/04/2010 20:41

Sorry. Too "disneyvita"

I love Marianne though and Arianne is quite nice.

Magaly · 26/04/2010 20:43

Gladioli, I agree, maybe it's because of my Irish accent and I lean heavier on Rs than an English person, but Aurora doesn't roll off my tongue. Not even close. Feel like my mouth is changing gears going up a steep hill spitting that name out. Sorry!
