Too bad Dawson didn't make the poll as a boys catagory because it's winning so far. Leyla - 1 (jotted down)

I picked Aurora because I am bias DD2 is my Aurora

Oh and I have a very common name (Catherine) and I still have to spell it for people a lot. When people don't ask me how to spell it they assume it is with a K. So then I need to correct them, and that was hard for me when I was a shy little girl. So even with common names you can get frustrations with spellings! People ask me how to spell my DS1 name (Jackson) because some people spell it Jaxson. So what can do you?? Right?

It may be common but it's not mediocre!

Thanks NBP! I have always liked it, just the spelling part can get annoying.

I vote Aurora and Hunter. I know am Aurora in real life and she's lovely. I don't however like the nickname associated with Aurora which is Rory. Also, I thought about naming my son Huntington and using the nickname Hunter..something different :-)

I don't like Rory so much either. We call my Aurora "Rora".

I HATED my name growing up(Kristin) because at the time it was considered super unusal and no one could ever spell or even pronounce it. It sounds like I am making a mountain out of a molehill but it was really awful (every teacher, every doctor or dentist visit, every club or sport) and people were just utterly rude about it. That has changed somewhat now because there are more unusual names and spellings, but still.

The thing that is hard though is that people can't spell even names that seem super common and easy to spell/pronounce, like Wyatt, Clark, and Tate. You would not even BELIEVE the spellings and pronunciations that I have heard on these names which, when I selected them, seemed like no-brainers to me. So when the last two came along and I ended up with Marshall and Susannah really I don't feel too bad about that because there's no accounting for stupid, LOL.
