Love this name and always thought of using it as a middle name, however now I'm starting to think it could work as a first name.

Is it too frilly/princessy? I would like something strong but pretty. Not necessarily thinking if the name is gorgeous but also if it would work in real life and schools etc. Does it stand out too much?

One person I mentioned the name said "Orally?!?!" Which made me a bit scared too.

I really like it. If you can avoid an accent in it then do, it will ultimately make life easier for your child.

also, it reminds me of Marcus Aurelius so not frilly to me.

How will you pronounce it?

It's lovely. Aurelie reminds me of orally but Aurelia doesn't. Would you be pronouncing it with a ray sound?

Nice, we are half French so were also thinking of the spelling Aurélia

Such a nice name, I've known a middle aged romanian women pan with this name and a french toddler with this name too!
