My husband and I are planning on starting a family at some point and I like the name Aurora. I just was wondering if it is too weird or out there for a child to have to deal with.

I really like it. It is sophisticated for a woman, and the nickname 'Rory' is cute for a little girl.
I also don't think that this name will date a child to a certain era. Many names in the past such as Jennifer, are able to be dated to a certain decade, whereas Aurora will never be a name that is considered as outdated.
It's meaning of 'Dawn' is beautiful as well, particularly if both parents prefer Dawn to Sunset etc.
I do think you might encounter some pronounciation problems with this name. Also, depending on where you live, it may be pronounced differently. To combat this problem, may I suggest the name Aurelia instead? I think it is generally an easier name for people to say, and probably more common as well.
I think that it is a unique name, and it will definetely stand out in the crowd amongst all of the children named Ashlee, Ava or Emily.
I think however, that it may be a good idea for you to give your child a more common middle name. If your child doesn't like the idea of having a unique name, she may like the idea of having a middle name to fall back on. I think Aurora Josephine is a gorgeous combination.

I know 3 people named Aurora and I think it's a beautiful name. The only problem I would see with it is if your husband doesn't like it, but if it's a name you both like, go for it.

Aurora and Selene are captivating. Ayrick looks like some illiterate teen mum who does not understand the thank you to spell Eric. possibly that's a actual call in Greek, yet in English it merely seems ghetto or illiterate

I think that name is pretty. It makes me think of a Southern girl and also reminds me of Sleeping Beauty, remember? Princess Aurora. I also went to high school with an Aurora and she went by "Rori".

I knew a girl named aurora, her and her mom both got beat up by the same girl in the same day, but its not a bad name.

I think it's beautiful, and don't worry about what others think of the name you choose. If you do that you'll never find a name that everyone agrees with. My husband and I chose our boy and girl baby name the week we found out we were going to have a baby. We never told a soul until he was born...there was no complaining or opinions from anyone...it was wonderful, and fun!
Good luck!

No, I think if you like it, then it is your decision. I personally think it's cute & not as common as a lot of other names. True your child may not end up liking it, but you take that chance with a name like Ashley or Sarah too. It's the parents choice for the child's name.

No. Most women named Aurora that I know are of Hispanic or Philipino decent.

Absolutely not. It's a beautiful name. Has a lot of meaning too. Much better than some other "choice" names I've heard out there.

I went to school with a girl named Aurora. They called her "Rory". Not bad, unless you had trouble with pronouncing "r's". Then it sounded awful. You wouldn't believe how many people have that trouble.
