Fine in fiction. IRL, Aura is a word name with a silly meaning, Circe has pronunciation issues and Ursa ... I don't enjoy names with that hesitant 'er' sound, and Ursa would spend her life explaining that she really isn't Ursula! Which is a more familiar name and would work better, 'er' sound or not.

Aura and Ursa are a bit too close for comfort. I like all three names independently, though.

I prefer Avra to Aura.

I love Ursa because it reminds me of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I also love the meaning.

---

Circe reminds me of Game and Thrones and also the Greek mythology behind it. It’s alright. Sounds kind of sinister; snake-like. Much too slithery to be in a sibset with sweet Ursa imo.

---

Aura, as I said in Ciara’s post, sounds like a yawn. It’s unpleasantly airy and floaty.

---

I don’t think any of them really work well together, personally.

It goes together well.

I think they’re fantastical and mythical and if someone is brave enough to use any of them in real life then that’s brilliant. I am not.

Circe is one of my favourite witches so I do like her name, but it is slightly marred by Cersei Lannister now I feel (a character I love to hate). Also it is incredibly close to “circle” and that does bug me. Aura feels very new age hippy which is fine, but not a vibe I go for (and I’m the kind of person who uses the word “vibe” with no irony intended). Ursa is very blatantly “bear” to me which I like, but it does feel like an incomplete Ursula, which I really like.

They definitely work together, though. They match each other’s energy, for sure, and they’re cohesive without being streamlined.

Terrible
