Oh no! at risk of changing mind but can't decide - which is prettier?
- Chandratara Eden Hope (Lefay) (SHAN-dra-TAH-ra)
- Aurora Chandratara Hope (Lefay)
You will be able to change your vote.

Chandratara Eden Hope (Lefay) (SHAN-dra-TAH-ra)
Aurora Chandratara Hope (Lefay)
I voted for the second combination, but I also like the name Chandratara. Is it an Hindi name? What is the meaning of it? I like it in that it is an unusual name with a nice sound, but has lots of nice nickname possibilities--Chandi, Chandra, Tara.
I voted for Aurora as first name because it give her a bit more conventional first name to balance a more unusual sounding middle & last name. I do like Chandratara as well, but perhaps with Aurora as a middle name. Two middle names along with such a long first name is a lot for one person! How do you like Chandratara Aurora Lefay? or how about just Chandratara Hope Lefay, or Chandratara Eden Lafay? If it is between the two options in your poll, then, as I said above, I would go with Aurora Chandratara Lefay. Oh, and leave off the Hope. I hadn't even noticed the Hope when I voted. It just seems like too much of a mouthful. That's my 2 cents for what it's worth. :)
OK, sorry, but I'm going to be honest. Chandratara is not only hard to say, it's also horrible to hear. It's unmelodic, and actually sounds like an exotic disease or extinct species of bird or something. And, to make it one of two middle names is really bad, because Chandratara actually sounds like two or three names squished together.
I like your first choice--Aurora--much better, despite the "Oreo" problem I mentioned in an earlier post. That can be corrected over time, but a name like Chandratara is forever. Aurora Eden, Aurora Hope, and Aurora Faith are all beautiful. Forget Chandratara, Chandramaya, and all the rest...for the sake of your child. And, weren't you concerned earlier about a teacher's reaction to Aurora?? Trust me: Aurora will get MUCH more positive feedback from teachers than Chandratara!
Tara Aurora and Maya Aurora are both pretty, if you want to incorporate the last syllable of the Chandra... names. To me, Aurora Tara and Aurora Maya are a bit awkward, but still OK.
Again, sorry. I just liked Aurora so much more! I had to post.
