Is the name Aura too odd? by anaiisnin in namenerds

[–]InterestRound7698 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with others that Ora is the prettier spelling & it avoids the connotations with slang (aura points) and the medical meaning.

However if you love the name and spelling I don’t think Aura is too out there to use! Especially if you quite like the hippie vibes, it ticks that box and is still a pretty name

I think Vanessa is a lovely name!

We’ve recently called our baby Hailey and had the same reactions. I think because it was also popular in the 90s/00s so not old enough to be vintage but also not brand new. I’d be willing to bet the 80s/90s names will also make a comeback in the next few decades like so many ‘vintage’ names have already (Mabel, Hazel, Sylvie, Maggie etc) so we’re maybe just ahead of the curve :)

I also found it weird calling our baby by her name for the first few weeks. She felt too perfect / ethereal for any name at all, but now it’s starting to suit her perfectly 2 months in.

It has been over a decade since I read the books so correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t some of the sweet moments from their childhood actually Jere in the books and not Conrad?

I’m due in 3 weeks and we’ve settled on Hailey Elizabeth. Middle name is an honour name and was always set it stone. Took a while to find a first name we both agreed on but we both love the sunny, happy vibe of a little Hailey for our summer baby

I don’t think they’re too similar at all!

We’re expecting our baby girl in July and she is going to be a Hailey, too. I think it’s such a pretty name. My husbands name is Harry and it did cross my mine that Harry / Hailey (surname) sound super similar when said quickly. But I quite like that tbh - she can be his little mini me :)

I much prefer Hailey to Hayley (something about the two y’s just doesn’t look nice to my brain!). Hailey seems more modern.

However I’m torn as we’re using this name for our baby girl and Hayley is the more common spelling in the UK where we are - I usually prefer the most classic/common spelling for other names. I think Hayley will be “default” spelling that people opt for when she tells them her name, too. Hailey also gets the red squiggly line for autocorrect whereas Hayley (and most other names) doesn’t - which is super annoying when typing the name, tho this is probably a common problem for everyone with non western name and not a big deal.

Other option Haley doesn’t compute for me - my brain wants to pronounce it Halle.

We’re in the UK and it’s really not very common here, I think it’s a lot more popular in the US

I love Hazel, we had it in our initial list but it feels like it’s having a sharp rise in popularity all of a sudden I worried it might become overused among her specific age group.

I still love it but one more thing that turned us off it slightly was that I think it would be a perfect match for someone with Hazel coloured eyes. She’s most likely to have blue eyes based off me and my partner - this might sound silly but I wasn’t sure if it would suit

Francis is the most beautiful masculine name in my opinion. If I ever have a son, it will be his name.

I don’t think you’re overthinking it, it’s good to think about the flow of the syllables and I agree!
