As those who have been helping me thru my name-pain on my 'frilly girls name' thread will know, my DH suddenly did a U-turn last week and said he was considering Aurelia (my fave girl's name) but I wasn't to nag and beg him mention it to him about it until he's had a chance to ponder it. Unbelievably, I've managed not to say a word about it but I plan to later today . Hopefully, my hopes won't be dashed!
Anyway, I thought I'd get myself all prepared in case it's a goer.
I've heard/read of at least three pronuncations of the name, it doesn't seem as though there's one correct version, as it appears to be pronounced differently in different countries. I can't decide whether I prefer:
Or-Rell-Ia (rel to rhyme with bell)
Or-Ray-Lia
Thoughts?
Also, I was initially struggling for nick names but depending on the pronunciation, some of these could be ok.
Aury
Aura
Rels
Ray/Raya
Lia
Thoughts?
Thank you (and wish me luck!)
