Some names that have been floating around my head for girls recently....

Rayne - I really like this name and this spelling is cute to me (I much rather this than Rain)
Luna - My mom's stepmom's middle name and I love her so much and I would love to honor her by using this one day (I am named after my real grandmother, she died before I was born). It means Moon in spanish. Her first name is Marta and I am not too fond of that.
Aurora - Love the meaning behind this name and it's a name spanish and english speakers can prnounce.
Aura - I would never use Aura and Aurora, one or the other but same as above.
Willow - I adore this name, the only problem is that my hispanic family would be like 'huh?'

Opinions?

Rayne- too airy fairy. Rayne is a bad spelling, it looks terribly trendy.

Luna- Sweet, very sweet.

Aurora- Absolutely gorgeous, but my favourite boys name is Rory so I couldn't use it myself.

Aura- Nice, but it seems too short especially after Aurora. I'd use it as a nickname for Aurora.

Willow- Same as Rayne, but at least it's spelt correctly.

I love Luna, I'm naming my daughter that. :)
I also like Aurora and Willow.

Lol. I just find it a bit funny that my name is Aurora and that I'm planning to name a future daughter Luna. ;)

But amazing names!

I love the name Luna. I like Aurora a lot too. I agree with anapology about Aura - I like it but it seems short. Rayne is nice, but I'd use it as a middle name. I'm not fond of Willow.

Luna Rayne would be my favorite out of your choices. Aurora Rayne wouldn't be bad - Just a lot of R's. :)

I do actually! That's my nickname, Rora. I don't have others. ('Cept Roo which is what my bestfriend's called me for years, but that's just between her and I)

I really adore:
Rayne - I prefer Raine.
Willow

I also think Luna and Aura are cute. I love the meaning behind Aurora but hate the "roar" part. I prefer the nn. Rory for a boy.

Aurora is my least favourite name, so I don't have too much good stuff to say about that. Aura isn't much better to me. Luna is the prettiest, I just think that it's kind of out there; like naming a kid Moon would be. Rayne and Willow are too cheesy for me, especially Rayne, with the spelling.

I love all of those! They're very hippie, flower power kind of names, if you don't mind me saying. =)

I also like the spelling of Rayne as Raine. Luna's very pretty, as most names for the moon are (Selene, Phoebe, being others). I love Aurora, especially the nn Rora and the nn Rory. Aura is very pretty as well. Willow I see more as a middle name, but I like it as either.

I have a cat named Luna. She is absolutely nuts, but I love her.

I'm slightly partial to Willow, because my daughter who is due in December is a Willow!

I love the name luna, but i'm always worried about the loony or lunatic name calling possibilities. And i know, kids are always going to try and find something, i just don't want to make it easy for them! =) But it's still on our list anyways.

I like Luna. I probably wouldn't use it as a first name though. Maybe if you can find a name that you could use it as a nn for or use it as a middle name. Then again, it doesn't have significance to me so that's why I wouldn't use it as a first name. It has significance to you so it makes sense as a first name :)

That's what would make it a great first name for you to use :)

*l* yeah, i could see myself using loony sometimes [though of course not in a mean way] since to be honest everyone in my family calls eachother names like that out of love all the time.

- i like aurora, but it seems so awkward to pronounce to me..same with rory.
- i like willow, but i think i'd only use it as a middle name.

I love your taste in names!!

Rayne - cute, not sure if I would actually use it, but I do like it in theory :)

Luna - really like :) but all I can think of is the kitty on Sailor Moon, lol. But I still like it :)

Aurora - not really a fan, but a fine name.

Aura - I like this one better, but not so much because I knew a girl who I didn't like with this name. It's very pretty, though.

Willow - ADORE! I am considering this for a future kid, I love it that much :) or maybe for a middle, but yeah :)

I've always loved the name Aurora.

I love Luna, and I liked it before Harry Potter came out! ;)

I like Willow too, and I like the sound of Rayne but not the spelling.

Aurora & Aura are just really not my style.

I really like Luna, Aurora and Aura. Aura actually means a plough in Finnish but it is also used as a name here :>) It's also the name of a lot of Finnish brands and places! (I don't know if this interests you much but I'm always so excited to see Finnish names in here :D) Anyway, my favorite combination would be Luna Aurora. I don't really care for Rayne but Willow is kinda pretty.

I am hearing "veeyoh?" in my head because of Willow. Probably should avoid that one. :)

I like Aurora the best of your list, and Luna for a middle name sort of. (not together, I meant in general)
