Does this sound too "fancy"?

Great name!

Imaginingdragonsagain · 28/03/2017 22:00

Pretty name

buttercup54321 · 28/03/2017 21:57

It sounds like Australia to me!!

I love Aurelia but not Jade.
Aurelia Blossom
Aurelia Charlotte

OP,

Beautiful name.
(I've always pronounced it Aw-RAY-lee-a; is that how you will?).

Classy and artistic-sounding: gold and green colours were my exact first thoughts, too, amy Smile

Love it! Very pretty, it's top of my list too Smile

NameyMcNamerson83 · 28/03/2017 11:22

I really like it. It's me and my OH's guilty pleasure name, but with our double barrelled surname it's just a bit much for us to use. I'd go for it! We originally loved it from Love Actually, which is no bad thing. Beautiful name!

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 28/03/2017 00:48

I think it's really pretty!

Buntysoven · 28/03/2017 00:45

Pretty!

heateallthebuns · 27/03/2017 23:32

Lovely!

Thanks everyone!!! Smile we love Jade because of family reasons and it holds a lot of meaning to us, it's also my name for the same reason and our daughter would always have Jade in her name. I'm really glad to read everyone's comments on Aurelia, we were wondering what the general reaction would be and it seems positive, thank you all for your thoughts! Grin Star

I'd prefer Aurelia Jane

Usanayme · 27/03/2017 13:47

Very pretty. Reminds me of Love Actually

Thatextrainch · 27/03/2017 13:36

Also, nowt wrong with a fancy name.

Thatextrainch · 27/03/2017 13:35

Aurelia is beautiful. I'm not keen on Jade but it's better than Rose, May or Grace as a md.

ahamsternest · 27/03/2017 12:42

Sounds a bit like a character in a Mills and Boon.

LivMoore · 27/03/2017 12:40

Aurelia is beautiful. I am not personally keen on Jade but if it has meaning and significance for you it matters not a jot what others feel about it.
Congratulations!
Am I right in thinking it is pronounced (usually anyway) Or-eelia like a pp mentioned? Or are you going with Our-eelia?

DesdemonasHandkerchief · 27/03/2017 12:40

Love Actually connotations for me too. But it is a nice name.

TheHiphopopotamus · 27/03/2017 12:35

I don't like either, sorry.

Aurelia reminds me too much of 'areola' and Jade is a bit common as pp's have said.

FrenchLavender · 27/03/2017 12:30

What about Aurelia Jane or Aurelia Joy or Aurelia Jasmine.

FrenchLavender · 27/03/2017 12:30

Aurelia is lovely, Jade is a bit 90's and common.

littlepooch · 27/03/2017 12:27

I like it!

Rockaby · 27/03/2017 12:25

I like it. It's very pretty.

KnockMeDown · 27/03/2017 12:01

I think the name will always remind me of that scene in Love Actually, where Colin Firth pitches up at the restaurant and pronounces 'Beautiful Aurelia!'

DramaAlpaca · 27/03/2017 11:15

I think it's very pretty.
