How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Aurora's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Aurora's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Aurora or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Aurora itself are excluded.
