A WOMAN'S baby name choice left everyone thinking of the same Disney movie. However, some people pointed out that the princess-inspired name may lead to bullying. In a post on Mumsnet, the expectant mum asked her fellow users for their thoughts on her pick.
She revealed the traditional Latin name she wanted to give her daughter. The pregnant woman had decided on the name Aurora, which is the Latin word for "dawn." "There's something drawing me to it.
And it's not my usual style," the soon-to-be mum explained. Aurora is the name of a Roman goddess who was in charge of announcing the sunrise each day. However, Mumsnet users pointed out the most common association with the name.
"It’s a bit Disney Princess if I’m perfectly honest," wrote one person. "It's awful. You aren't raising a Disney princess," said another reader.
"It’s ok, just a bit princess-y to me and I’m not keen on Rory for short," commented a third parent. "I don't like it, the fact it sounds like a yawn, and it's a Disney princess, I'd avoid Ariel or Elsa for same reason," said another commenter. "Aurora is a great name for a little girl but I wouldn’t want to be an adult called that," wrote one reader.
Others pointed out another possible issue with the unique name for a child. "I like it. But think about the many people who don't pronounce 'R' properly and will call her Ah-waw-wa?" said one person.
"'R' is hard for [young children] to say. They’ll be calling themselves ‘Au-wo-wa’ for years," comme.
