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!
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.

There is a city in Ohio called Aurora and there is a company that sells toiletries named Aurora. Pretty name. Too bad it is getting so popular!
To the grief and sadness of the United States, there was a shooting in Aurora, Colorado at the midnight premier of "The Dark Knight Rises." Our prayers are with the victims and their families.
