I think it is Aw-ray-lia but mentioned it a friend who said Aw-ree-lia. Just curious...

Aw-ree-lia usually, or Ow-ray-lia if German, but not Aw-ray-lia.

Aoo-re-li-ah - In an Italian accent, am Italian but have no idea how to go about typing an Italin accent Grin

I really like it for a future hypothetical DD but DP really struggles to say it!

I agree with the other posters - the Aurelia I met pronounced it "Or reel ee a".

My daughter is Aurelia we pronounce it like you, like the Latin for golden.
In Italy and Portugal where it's a popular name that is how they pronounce it.
Lovely name choice, my dd gets compliments on it regularly

It is Or-Ree-Li-Ah.

It IS pronounced that. How you get your pronunciation with that spelling is beyond me.
