Opinions? I’m worried Aurelia is a bit much/Sadie is too plain?? I’m not very good at decisions!!

Adore Aurelia. Would love to name a daughter this.

whipdido · 28/04/2020 21:06

Sadie reminds me of sandy coloured staffy dogs so id go with the other one.

Boireannachlaidir · 28/04/2020 21:03

I can only hear Aurelia in an Australian accent. It's a god-awful name.

TheRoyallingStones · 28/04/2020 20:52

I really like Sadie but I’m not at all keen on Aurelia, it just sounds too frilly

BeautyinAutumn · 28/04/2020 17:42

Really dislike Sadie. It sounds ugly and frumpy to my ears just awful.
Aurelia is much better

midsomermurderess · 28/04/2020 15:41

Sadie. It sounds gutsy and spirited whereas Aurelia is floaty and whimsical.

Sorry!!! Wrong post

Noellyj · 28/04/2020 15:28

Venus!

Erykah Badu has a daughter called Mars, too.

Ellmau · 28/04/2020 15:15

Aurelia is much nicer imo.

user1493494961 · 27/04/2020 23:06

Sadie, Aurelia is a bit 'frilly'.

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 27/04/2020 22:36

I've an Aurelia she's 9 and we haven't come across one in person yet. I loved the film Love Actually so we got the name from there.

frenchfancy81 · 27/04/2020 22:33

Aurelia is a bit much in my opinion and I feel like she'd need to be stunningly beautiful to pull it off as an adult, which might sound strange or shallow (or both). Sadie to me is boring. BUT choose whichever name you like the best- as soon as a baby is named, that's just them and you can't imagine them being called anything else. Waffling- apologies!Smile

Horn- I'm sorry I hadn't meant to be rude about your name, and I genuinely love it, I was just stating my own considerations and why I decided against it. You have a beautiful middle name

MrsBungle · 27/04/2020 22:32

I like Sadie but I prefer Aurelia

DodgyTrousers · 27/04/2020 22:32

You have to go with Sadie...

It's my name 😂😂😂

Missingthesea · 27/04/2020 22:32

I love Aurelie, with a e rather than an a at the end.

JustStayHome · 27/04/2020 22:30

Sadie

pilates · 27/04/2020 22:28

Sadie is much better

sergeilavrov · 27/04/2020 22:28

I love Aurelia, but I don't really understand why it's try hard!

LotusClover · 27/04/2020 22:27

I still haven't got a clue how Aurelia is pronounced. For that reason alone I would choose Sadie.

bridgetreilly · 27/04/2020 22:21

They're very different, imo. I prefer Sadie.

AllRainbowsAndUnicorns · 27/04/2020 22:18

I prefer Aurelia.

Sadie makes me think of sadist.

Waitingforadulthood · 27/04/2020 22:13

I LOVE aurelia but decided against it as my friend pointed out it can (not how I say it, but still) rhyme with genitalia AND is close to areola.

Sadie is very pretty

Hornbeamer · 27/04/2020 22:11

Aurelia is my middle name I love it - my mum is French. There's also Aurelie which is nice

Rubywhox · 27/04/2020 22:09

Sadie is cool
I really don’t like Aurelia
