Aurelia

[Tripitaka5]

my husband is really keen on the name Aurelia for a girl but I am not so sure... I am trying not to be swayed by my parents or the in-laws but I would really appreciate hearing some opinions

[littlepeas]

I think it's lovely.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

It's beautiful.

[rockybalboa]

Lovely name. We have one in the family.

[DonkeysDontRideBicycles]

Sylvia Plath's mum was called Aurelia. It's unusual in a nice way.

Have you come up with anything you favour more?

[Rhubarbgarden]

I like it.

[ThePieSmuggler]

I do like it, but unfortunately it makes me think of the word areola. Probably just my oddness but there you go

[BOF]

Very pretty. I like Aurora too.

Would you shorten it?

[mamalovesmojitos]

Lovely name.

[PrincessOfChina]

Love it. It was in our list for DD and if we had another I think it might be a front runner.

[mikkii]

I love it. Had an Aurelle at school.

[Oriunda]

Aurelia would have been one of 3 possibles if DS had been a DD. I think it's lovely.

[farmersdaughter]

I love it.

On my list DH not keen

[karinmaria]

It's a lovely name. Reminds me of Love Actually as I think the lady Colin Firth's character falls for has that name.

A colleague in France is called Aurelie which I also really like.

[Graceparkhill]

Beautiful name.

[fanjobiscuits]

I had the same thought as pie smuggler

[Pixieonthemoor]

Love it but only if the first part rhymes with oar and not ow.

[Christelle2207]

Beautiful and reminds me of Colin firth's love interest in love actually too.
I would be worried about others pronouncing it wrongly though.

[AnythingNotEverything]

Love it.

[girliefriend]

I have a good friend called Aurelie which I think is very pretty

[Elquota]

It's nice. Or how about Aurora or Amelia?

[lessonsintightropes]

Love it - a beautiful name. Can it be shortened to Lia too?

[formicadinosaur]

Nice. Here's also aurora

[DonDrapersAltrEgoBigglesDraper]

Beautiful.
