My DH was unsure at first but after remembering that Foo Fighters have a song called Aurora, he likes it...but only for a middle name. And it doesn't go well at all as a middle name for any of the first names we really like. Booo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions/page/2#post-1461161 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 09:18:18 +0000 cyan 1461161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, lots of love for Aurora! I love it in theory, especially with the nn Rory, but in reality, I can't really say it without really focusing on it, so I think I would always worry about LO being able to say her own name, especially in the preschool years.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions/page/2#post-1461144 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 09:01:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1461144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, I asked DH to really consider it. He said he would mull it over for a while. For some reason he said he could live with the name Aurora but really doesn't like the nickname Rory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions/page/2#post-1461105 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 07:53:56 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1461105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! And love the nn Rory - so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions/page/2#post-1461070 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 06:55:05 +0000 GrapeCrush 1461070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: @locavore_mama: :)</p> <p>My daughters name is Aurora, and we call her Rory. No one has ever had a problem saying it. And honestly, most people don't associate it with sleeping beauty, unless they love Disney. And whenever anyone hears her name, they just say how beautiful it is. </p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: too bad he vetoed it! It's a pretty name :)</p> <p>ETA: we also live close to a town that has Aurora in the name...it was a concern of mine at first, but the name just fit her, so I didn't care :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions/page/2#post-1461009 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 00:52:04 +0000 Torchwood 1461009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE Aurora, especially with Rory as the nickname. DH vetoed it though, because we lived in Denver during the Aurora shooting (and had friends who lived within a mile or so of the theater). He can't get past that association. Also, our first choice girl name is a name from Doctor Who, and we wouldn't want a second girl to be from that too. (Rory is a major character.)</p> <p>@bunnylovesbear: I actually totally diagree with naming a child the nickname you want. I changed my name multiple times during high school before settling, because I really didn't like the nickname I grew up with. If I had been just named that, I'd have been stuck with a name I didn't like. My name (Elizabeth) gave me a lot of options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions/page/2#post-1460994 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 00:26:09 +0000 Mommytotwois 1460994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is and always has been my dream daughter name.

I was going to suggest Auralie...and its various spelling options or maybe Lara if you don't like Laura. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions/page/2#post-1460752 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 20:57:00 +0000 birdofafeather 1460752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love aurora, but it would have been too much with our last name! bummer DH nixed it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions/page/2#post-1460729 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 20:36:52 +0000 cmomma17 1460729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: aw man!

Have you considered Lorelei nn Rory? I think that was the full name in Gilmore Girls and could be a nod to Laura too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions/page/2#post-1460297 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 13:55:59 +0000 whenoceansrise 1460297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it and Rory! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions/page/2#post-1460295 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 13:52:44 +0000 Crystal 1460295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: I'm a Disney nut too. :grin: </p> <p>Love love love aurora.

It would work as a NN for Laurel too, which might be closer to Laura. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions/page/2#post-1460178 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 11:45:34 +0000 rattles 1460178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do like the name a lot! It's a bit of an awkward sound to make, I think (I have a cousin Laurel whose name is the same for me in terms of difficulty), but I don't think it's so tough as to preclude using it. I love Rory too. Personally, it's Aurelia that's made my short list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions#post-1460160 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 11:34:43 +0000 loveisstrange 1460160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions#post-1460141 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 11:27:12 +0000 cheert16 1460141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! and love Rory.... umm- if I ever have a little girl- that is totally going to be on my list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aurora-thoughts-suggestions#post-1460137 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 11:25:37 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1460137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that name so much and I would have used it for my girls name but a girl we know well took it so my husband didn't want to.
