Aura

The sound is okay, but the word itself as a name is just cheesy.

Love the name Aura, such a beautiful and rare name.

This name sounds calm and pretty, like the name Dove or Misty. Your Aura is light blue...you're at peace. Sounds nice!

I adore Aura for a name. It's breathtakingly gorgeous. It's beautifully unique, sounds wonderful and is so in touch with spirituality. It brings to mind heavenly things like angels, paradise, a bright array of iridescent colors, and divinity. In my opinion, Aura is one of the prettiest names I've ever heard of.

I like the name, but it's associated with a lot of spiritual things!

Aura comes into all of our bodies and souls, she’s a part of us. You may have never met her but she's still here, in every one of you. It just depends on whether you have a visit or not and I don’t know what determines that. I have never seen her physically but her... herself, She is beautifully amazingly gorgeous. Please give her the respect by saying her name correctly or simply do not treat other ways to pronounce it “correct”.

Sounds incomplete, but it’s pretty and I’d use it.

It's good, but I prefer Aurora, as it's more "complete-sounding".

I have a lot of characters and my main character that I also use when I draw myself is named Aura. She’s had the same name for 5 or so years. Which is ever since I decided for her to officially become a character. As you can probably guess, this is one of my favorite names ever. It’s not only beautiful, it also sounds magical in a way. I’m not really good at explaining my feelings, so I can’t really put my finger on why exactly I love it so much. I just...do...I guess.

Much, much better than Aurora.

Interesting name.

So pretty!

Unique name, gives you a mystical/floaty vibe. Kind of a twist on Aurora I think, which I like that name too.

My name is Aura and I hated having such a unique name in the 80s. Now that people have moved beyond the top 100 names, I've grown to like it. I would be careful to only pair the name with a last name that is easy to pronounce.

I would love to name my daughter Aura. Her sisters could be Echo, Mirage, and Spirit. :D

This name is on the top of my list should I have children. Elegant, evocative, mystical. Would suit a child gifted in the arts, especially music and poetry. Or any little girl who is bright and charismatic.

To the poster who mentioned the combination of "Aura Lee" there is the French "Aurelie".

Pretty. Kind of overly-modern and a bit corny, but pretty. It's a lot easier to pronounce than Aurora, and it's less used, too.

I guess it's sort of new age-y, like someone else said, but it's one of few "word names" I like. I currently love the combination Aura Clair (without the 'e', to reflect a surname like St. Clair).

Aura is an extremely attractive name; Autumn and the rarer name, Autra, also have the "Au" prefix.

This is a nice name, but it's a bit new-age-y.

A soft, beautiful name with a mysterious yet simple and radiant quality. The meaning "soft breeze" is just sweet. I think this is a lovely name. I'd name my daughter this. Though I dislike when people pronounce Aura as OR-ah, that just isn't right. Sounds like they are trying to pronounce some exotic oriental name, lol. AW-rah is the correct pronunciation, at least to my ears and my taste.

Aura is sometimes associated with migraines and headaches which is a bit hesitating to name someone this, though it is a pretty name. A nice nickname would be "Auri" or "Aurie" instead of just Aura. A bearer of this name is Aura Catherine Williams b. July, 25 1913.

A beautiful name with a graceful meaning, I think it fits a special person who is really unique!

This is a beautiful name. A bearer of this name is in the poem: Aura Lee. It could also mean 'golden light.'
