My aunt. My mother was going to name me Marlo (combo of my parent's names) but she didn't think it really would "fit" me. So, my aunt Gloria (who really likes mythology) suggested a couple of Greek and Roman names and showed her what they meant. They ended up going with Aurora Borealis because my mother thought that it was pretty and unique and it meant a couple of things. I like it much more than Marlo (but have nothing against the other Marlo's out there!!).
