The name of Italian singer Eros Ramazzotti's daughter is Aurora.-- alberto 4/15/2005
This is what I am naming my daughter which I am expecting in 5 months. The pronunciation was also a concern with me but we will get people to call her "Rori".-- Ashyposh 8/12/2005
As an English major, I acquired this name from the Elizabeth Barrett Browning poem, "Aurora Leigh". The beauty of the poem and the name has helped me to choose this name for my daughter. I hope she doesn't find out that the poem was about a Victorian fallen woman!-- Ashyposh 8/12/2005
This name is my all time #1 favorite feminine name. It is enchanting, beautiful, and it has a pretty meaning.-- iwant2baurora 11/16/2005
I have changed my mind as this being my #1 favorite feminine name. I have always loved the name Anna a lot more plus I think it sounds nicer.-- iwant2baurora 1/3/2006
I love this name. Most people don't but I think it's beautiful.-- Rockos_Modern_Life_1 12/22/2005
Even though Aurora technically means "dawn," I would tell my daughter that her name meant "rosy fingertips of dawn." I think it's more poetic and beautiful.-- puresimplicity 1/2/2006
What made me not like this name anymore is the pronunciation. Sounds too much like aw-roar-uh.-- iwant2baurora 1/27/2006
Aurora is a city in the state of Illinois.-- WeloveyouJesseLacey 2/1/2006
I love this name, I get many comments on how beautiful my name is.-- rory_b 2/4/2006
Beautiful name! In Italy is very popular!-- Anonymous User 2/9/2006
I think it is a lovely name. The character in Sleeping Beauty was so gorgeous, I always think of her and her singing when I hear this name. It was one of my favorite movies when I was young. Now, I would like to use it as a middle name for Ruby.-- claraelizabethann 2/27/2006
Aurora is a pretty name. The only problem I have with this name is it doesn't roll off the tongue too easily. Try picturing yourself yelling this name out at a playground, LOL. At least it isn't a fad name and if you did call it out you wouldn't get 15 kids responding.-- Anonymous User 4/25/2006
My grand-mother's name is Aurora, only that it's French: Aurore. I think it is the nicest name. It's a little on the harsh side, but I love its meaning. If ever I have children, I will call one of them Aurora.-- simple_plan_luver 4/28/2006
It is also used in Romania. [noted -ed]-- paul9i 5/1/2006
I love this name. I think it is a name with a meaning of grace, optimism elegance and light. It pictures a vision of the dawn and it's breathtaking beauty. My favorite shortname for Aurora is 'Orie.' I just think it's wonderful!-- Anonymous User 5/3/2006
When I was little, I LOVED this name, then I lost interest in it for a while, and now I love it again.-- nelirosala 6/26/2006
Aurora is also the name of a town in Ontario, Canada.-- stillbreathingxx 8/12/2006
This name is simply lovely! It sounds much more elegant and beautiful than Dawn, but it bears the same wonderful meaning.-- Anonymous User 8/30/2006
Aurora is a beautiful, elegant name. I would prefer the nickname Orie/Aurie or even Aura rather than Rory/Rori. Rory is too masculine of a name for me.-- Anonymous User 9/5/2006
A rather pretty nickname is "Rory", for when the child is younger.-- wordybookworm 10/11/2006
Stunning.-- Anonymous User 11/2/2006
Every time I hear or think of this name I imagine a classic, young, beautiful girl dancing around in a changing color dress! It sounds very lyrical to me.-- Anonymous User 11/3/2006
This is where Wayne and Garth are from in the movie Wayne's World!
"Sometimes I wish I could boldly go where no man has gone before... but I'll probably just stay in Aurora" - Garth-- stuckonstupid 11/18/2006
I think in Finnish, it is pronounced OW-ro-ruh.-- Anonymous User 11/25/2006
I am currently living in the city of Aurora, Il. It means the city of lights. There is over a hundred thousand people living in it. But, unfortunately, it is known as a bad town because there are a lot of gangs in it.-- jmd27 12/11/2006
Such a pretty name!-- epicatsea 12/29/2006
The Disney movie "The Sleeping Beauty" is one of my favorite childhood films. Since the princess is named Aurora, I have always loved this name. The name Aurora brings to mind a girl with a beautiful, happy heart who is like sunshine to those around her.-- karasuko7 2/6/2007
I'm afraid I choke on my own tongue trying to pronounce this, so I don't like it. Of course, I also can't properly pronounce "rural".-- black_lace 2/17/2007
The P&O British cruise ship "Aurora". I think this is such a pretty name.-- gulie55 2/19/2007
Aurora is a city in Oregon. I could never name my child after this city, (since I live in oregon). Or maybe I should just move.-- Anonymous User 3/2/2007
This is one of my favorite names! However it sounds best in Swedish because you roll the r's.-- haymanisland 3/11/2007
Rorey is a cute nickname for this.-- Anonymous User 3/11/2007
Aurora probably came from the lights from the North/South Pole. The lights there are called the Aurora Lights, they're also visible in Iceland.-- Miracle1980Olympics 4/13/2007
I sometimes wish this were my name, instead of Dawn. But since stupid people abound, and they can't even spell or pronounce Dawn properly (I wish I were kidding), it would be even worse to be named Aurora, I guess. At least they'd have a reason to mess it up, I suppose.-- Belus 4/19/2007
Absolutely enchanting and stunning. Lovely!-- hpblum 6/27/2007
In the movie Impromtu, Judy Davis's character goes by the name George Sand (a real author) but is really named Aurora.-- popular1 8/30/2007
YAY! I love this name! First of all, Sleeping Beauty is my favorite Disney princess, and this is her name! Secondly, I agree with all of you saying it's enchanting and stunning because it is! And regal, I might add.-- smurphul 9/18/2007
I think Aurora is a very beautiful name, very soft, gentle and elegant. Disney's Sleeping Beauty was my favorite movie when I was little, as well. I especially like the nickname Rory. Aurora - beautiful name!-- harry_sent_me 10/18/2007
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights (celestial phenomenon of bands, curtains or streamers of coloured light that appear in the sky predominantly in the Arctic and Antarctic regions of the earth) which is among one of the most beautiful natural occurances.-- Anonymous User 10/23/2007
Aurora's Greek equivalent is Eos.-- Anonymous User 12/7/2007
I actually think this is a really beautiful name.-- aquaspirit96 12/28/2007
I have this name. I go by Aury (pronounced Orie). I've never really liked the nickname Rory (Always sounds like Roy to me.) Adults always tell me how beautiful my name is. Also, it's not really that hard to pronounce (uh-roar-uh). You get used to it after a while.-- Anonymous User 2/18/2008
This name is super duper cool. I like that it can fit all stages of life.-- jasmineenimsaj 3/4/2008
The name is pretty, but overused in Norway.-- Anonymous User 3/9/2008
I think that this name is too cute. When the child was growing up I would call her Rory and Roo when she was little.-- b.lillian 3/21/2008
Aurora is also a Portuguese name. [noted -ed]-- Rockos_Modern_Life_1 3/22/2008
Beautiful name, but overused. I'd use something less common, but that's just me.-- slight night shiver 4/19/2008
I think it's a beautiful name and I would love to use it to name one of my own children in the future.-- paintpot 5/7/2008
If I ever have a daughter, I will most likely name her Aurora Rose (Rose being my own middle name, as well as that of a lot of women in my family), which makes me think of a dawn the color of pale rose. The picture in my mind is beautiful.
Also, I think of Aurora, a.k.a. "Briar Rose" (again with the Rose!), in Sleeping Beauty, opening the cottage shutters and singing like a skylark.-- erb816 5/21/2008
I appreciate its age and history of use but it feels very modern-trashy to me. It's also awful to say.-- Anonymous User 6/3/2008
Whoever said this name is trashy, it is not (to me). I love this name. If I had twins, I would call them Aurora (Means dawn) and Alkony (Means dusk).-- Anonymous User 7/7/2008
I love this name. I've used it for a character before, and it's perfect for her. Although - I prefer the slightly unorthodox "Rora" as a nickname.-- Tyrelle 8/5/2008
Aurora Miranda da Cunha (born 1915) was a Brazilian entertainer. She was sister to Carmen Miranda. She is well known for in Brazil for her Samba music. In the U.S, she appeared in Walt Disney's "The Three Caballeros", where she dances with Donald Duck and José Carioca, singing the song, "Os Quindins de Yayá".-- Anonymous User 8/6/2008
I think it is very pretty. There is a Disney Princess with the name Aurora. AKA Sleeping Beauty!-- IAmTabby 8/22/2008
This name is so pretty and unusual and the meaning behind it is lovely. The nickname Rory/Rori is cute too!-- Junidoe-Josephine 11/11/2008
I think it's a beautiful name, definitely rare, at least where I live.-- krazykels 12/30/2008
This is a Polish variant, too.-- Anonymous User 1/5/2009
This name is enchanting and fits perfectly for a fairy tale princess. If I had a daughter I think Aurora would be a wonderful name.-- Genevieve_M 4/2/2009
I really dislike this name. It's sort of tacky, and as someone mentioned before, imagine yelling this across a playground, or even calling for someone. It's on its way to becoming popular. There are other more poetic names out there that sound better and don't have an overused concept.-- Kerules 4/5/2009
My daughter is name Aurora, I live in the state of MAINE, we chose it because of Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), however, after she was born I did discover that it is SLEEPING BEAUTY'S NAME! It is NOT at all common here, and everyone says how pretty and unique it is.-- Shorty082699 4/7/2009
German pronunciation equals Spanish pronunciation here.-- JHK 6/1/2009
I LOVE this name, but I don't like the nickname Rory for various reasons.
I asked my mom if she liked this name and she hates it! It's a disgrace to me, I mean she has very small taste in names! Ugh! Well this name is amazing and delivers beauty.-- italiannames 9/4/2009
I named my second daughter Aurora after many months of indecision. Besides being somewhat lyrical - it has many nicknames to chose from (though we prefer Rory, we have used Rora, and Aury) to suit your taste. It gives you a formal/ elegant option for an adult and can still be cute for a little girl. I personally decided on it when I caught the natural (I like hippy names!) connection to the Aurora Borealis/Australis - however it is also used as theme and character name in literature (Sleeping Beauty, His Dark Materials, Aurora from Marvel comics, Aurora Leigh, etc.) It has a rich history stretching back to Greek myth and the goddess of the Dawn- which is why it will never be trendy - or trashy as a previous (perhaps under educated?) person commented - much more classical in the strictest sense.-- hoppbird 9/22/2009
Aurora is NOT a trashy name at all. It's what I call elegant and beautiful and a name I cant help but love. I like Aurora but I do not like the nicknames. And like the comment above this one, Aurora is a GREAT choice to name a daughter.-- italiannames 9/30/2009
Aurora has a unique SOUND to it and a beautiful meaning. Even though it isn't to common it won't be the first time that someone heard of the name.-- Milena Scialfa 10/18/2009
The name Aurora is overly beautiful but-- It's on its way to becoming popular it was already number 288 last year. That makes me sad. I still like it.-- Alora 11/15/2009
