Does anyone here have or know an Aurelia?
How is it pronounced and has she had issues with people spelling/saying her name?

And it’s Or-RAY-lee-ah.

Yes my aunt. It’s a beautiful name. I also like the French version Aurelie but it sounds like “orally” in English which I imagine would prompt a bit of sniggering in school.

It reminds me of the (Portuguese?) character in 'Love Actually' - the love story between her and Colin Firth.

It's a lovely name, unusual but not daft unusual. Slightly mysterious!

I mean I intuitively I'd say Or-ay-lia but obviously I pronounce it the way her Mum says it!!

Yes I know one - I'd say Or-ay-lia but I know she is pronounced Or-ee-lia. She does get some issues but it doesn't bother her Mum, she just corrects.
