I'm really close to my Aunt Dawn and would love to honor her in one of my future children's names but I hate the name Dawn but I love the name Aurora which means the Goddess of the Dawn. Could I use that to name her after my Aunt? Do you know of any other names like this?
What do you think of this?

I think Aurora would be good to honor her. But just in case, here are some others:
Asa - japanese - born at dawn
Roxanna - Persian - Dawn
Roxanne - English - Dawn
Roxy - American - Dawn
Sahara - Arabic - Dawn
Zora / Zorana - Slavic - Dawn

I think Aurora is lovely and is a nice tribute, though not an overt one, to your aunt.

It's a great idea!
For the record, I love the name Dawn.

I kindof think that nameing a child after someone is naming them after the person.
But honoring them is different. So yes, it works.
Though my mom (Betty) disagreed when I suggested Bethany or Elizabeth when I said I might name a daughter after her or to honor her. She insisted it wouldnt be honoring unless it was Betty (Though I dont like Betty as a nn either so I guess she's right in that case)
I think Aurora is a beautiful name. Its hard for me to say though. Though, so is Sascha but I love it too
It's the ror and sas in them I think
