Aurore
I watched a movie recently by a director that my boyfriend recommended. The movie was French (both language and origin) and was called Delicatessen (it's by the same director who did Amelie, which I haven't yet seen. I can't remember his name though.)Anyway one of the characters was named Aurore, and although she wasn't exactly a character to aspire to, her name really interested me. So WDYT of Aurore? I'd never use it because I would butcher the pronunciation, but I thought it was pretty nonetheless.Yeah, sorry about that massive rambling.

It's actually not really pronounced ah-roar, but even I can't explan the pronunciation any better. I think it would sound horrible pronounced in English, it would totally destroy the name. I like Aurore and Aurora but think the English pronunciations of both are horrible (sorry, no offense).

I watched Delicatessen too. That movie was pretty weird I thought. My sister freaked out at the end because of what the future might look like. Sorry for my rambling. I should be tired and yet, I'm really not.Well I think it's pretty but a bit cheesy. I can't remember but is it pronounced like Aurora? or just Ah-roar without the ah at the end? I would like it much more if it was just ah-roar

I like this one in French-to my ear, it sounds like "Orrha". Not so fond of the english "uh-ROAR".

That is a shockingly (however you spell it) pretty name. Never heard of it before. It sounds more smooth and flows better than Aurora. I like it.
