I'm considering both names, just wanted to throw it out to the wise mumsnet posters to see which spelling has more love? Thanks!

Aurelia

Have never heard of Orelia, it does bring oral to mind though, so better to go for the standard spelling. It’s nice

Beautiful Aurelia (love actually character) - lovely name OP.

Aurelia. So pretty.

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 24/03/2022 18:22

We have an Aurelia too!

CleoUK · 24/03/2022 18:14

We have Aurelia Smile so I am bias.
Have never met anyone else who is named Aurelia so some teachers struggle a bit.

Echobelly · 24/03/2022 18:07

Aurelia is usually spelt with the 'Au', so I'd go for that.

EyesAsGreenAsAFreshPickledToad · 24/03/2022 18:05

They're both hideous names.

FinnRussell · 24/03/2022 17:00

Aurelia. Mucked around spellings are daft.

SilkenBunny · 24/03/2022 16:53

Aurelia - areola
Orelia - oral

Clearly I have a filthy mind

LemonJuiceFromConcentrate · 24/03/2022 16:52

Is Orelia actually a name?

Fivebeanchilli · 24/03/2022 16:51

Aurelia.
Orelia looks like a spelling mistake. Also the nearness to the word oral isn't great.

DogsAndGin · 24/03/2022 16:49

Aurelia

TheSpanishApartment · 24/03/2022 16:04

Aurelia. I think it's beautiful.

Donra · 24/03/2022 16:01

Orelia looks like a misspelling of Aurelia.

Rogue1001MNer · 24/03/2022 15:57

Makes me think of nipples

delshell · 24/03/2022 15:46

Aurelia. I've never come across the other spelling before.

TatianaBis · 24/03/2022 15:40

I like Oriel but not Orelia. So Aurelia for me.

fruitbrewhaha · 24/03/2022 15:14

Aurelia is the name pronounced Or-ray-leah.

Is Orelia Oh-ray-leah?

Sapphireskies · 24/03/2022 15:10

Aurelia. Never seen it spelt as Orelia.

KirstenBlest · 24/03/2022 15:10

I'm not keen on Aurelia and Orelia looks like a misspelling

bluebellsandcustard · 24/03/2022 15:03

It's lovely as Aurelia- I've never seen it spelt the other way.

toastofthetown · 24/03/2022 15:02

I prefer Aurelia.
