Unique Sibset
So, another baby was born into a family that has chosen interesting names for their girls...their boys not so much (common biblical names). Anyway, the new baby is Lux and she joins sisters Denali and Aurora Celeste.“What are you going to call it?”
“I’m going to call him Tarzan.”
*disgusted and puzzled* “Okay, well...he’s your kid.”

It sounds very sleek and modern to me, like the name of a Star Wars character.

There is an old-time laundry detergent called Lux. That's what I think of when I hear this "name," sorry.

I saw Lux used years ago for a character and thought it was silly. Now I think it's cute. Not sure when/why that changed.As a sibset, they're all grand and naturey.

On a girl?? Aurora Celeste is pretty normal, but....... Lux and Denali? Denali is cute, but is kinda out of place with the other names.

Aurora Celeste is great. The "ror" sequence doesn't flow well for me when I say it, but I still like the name and its meaning.
Denali...I appreciate the reference, but would like it better if it didn't have an 'i' ending, which I associate with cutesy names.
Lux is tacky.

Lux ... I don't like it, at all.
Aurora is nice on paper, but not an appealing sound to me.
Denali sounds more like an SUV to me now, than a name, but I think this style of name isn't ugly. I think it's distinctively Alaskan, and kind of cute in a way. Not my style, though.

Denali is kind of pretty. Aurora, just sounds like a dog noise. But they seem to fit very well together in the same family, very Alaskan, as you say. Lux seems very much the odd one out. It doesn't actually sound like a name at all. Didn't there used to be a detergent called Lux?
Also, it sounds like it might be a trademark name for some weird fake-fur fabric.

Aurora Celeste is very pretty. Denali sounds fine but I don't like it and Lux is kind of cool.
