Thoughts on Aurora?

in Baby Names
Hello, my husband and I have picked the name Aurora for our princess, who will make her arrival at the end of September. However not all of our family is in love with the name, and they dont have to be, but they expressed their feelings that it may be too difficult for others to pronounce, and that has been bugging me ever since. I absolutely love the name, it sounds beautiful and elegant, and not overly common. Would love some opinions... Thank you!!!

    It's always frustrating to deal with family disappointment after deciding to share the name of your future baby. I think the name is beautiful and not particularly hard to pronounce. If you and your husband love the name, I promise that your family will come around to it. It's not like you're naming her Saoirse (beautiful name, but not something most people know how to pronounce).

    I can't imagine you would run into a ton of issues with Aurora, it's a nice name.

    I don't think it's too difficult at all. Go for it! They will learn to love it.

    Aurora is a fine name. 

    It's okay to use names that aren't others favorites.

    This name was on my short list. I had some people say that the R's in the name are difficult to say. But I don't think it will be a huge deal. I love the name and say go for it!

    It's not difficult to say.  Don't worry if they don't all love it.  Do you love all the names your family members have chosen for their kids?

    Aurora is our girl name as well. We have a Caroline, so I think they go well together. 
    If you love it, that's enough!

    I'm sorry they don't love the name and are giving you a hard time. I do not think it is hard to pronounce. Don't let others persuade you if it is something you love. Go for it!

    Aurora is a gorgeous name and a great choice. Don't let others' comments keep you from your favorite name.
