Why do so many people do this on here! Would you put an outfit choice in the hands of strangers? No, but you will an important thing like baby name. Just pick what YOU like!!

Don’t like Aurelia. Merryn is lovely though and goes fine with May.

ChairPose9to5 · 13/06/2022 18:25

Merryn! By far.

Aurelia is awful, like oh really ,(ah)

GobbledyGeek · 13/06/2022 18:22

Merryn May is lovely!

pitterypattery00 · 13/06/2022 18:12

Love Merryn, was on our list (spelt Merrin).

I know a toddler Aurelia - when she was born it was the first time I'd heard the name. It looks pretty but I find it a bit of a mouthful, too frilly for me. But it works as a middle name.

How about Merryn Aurelia May

pinklavenders · 13/06/2022 18:05

Ok, if I had to choose, Aurelia.

What name do you prefer OP?

Awrite · 13/06/2022 17:22

Merryn. Definitely.

WildCherryBlossom · 13/06/2022 17:18

I like both names but I love the alliteration of Merryn May so I would choose that.

Blowyourowntrumpet · 13/06/2022 17:18

Neither

lljkk · 13/06/2022 17:15

How do you say Aurelia? I say it "ow-RAY-lee-uh"
Merryn is fine, too. (MURR-in?, MARE-in?, mare-IN? )

claudetto · 13/06/2022 17:13

Merryn is great! Merryn May is a bit twee, but middle names aren’t often used and I much prefer Merryn to Aurelia.

Goldfishmountainclimber · 13/06/2022 16:52

Aurelia
I think it’s a beautiful name.

Quinque · 13/06/2022 16:33

Merryn

goldfinchonthelawn · 13/06/2022 16:32

I like Merryn.

Justcashnosweets · 13/06/2022 16:24

Merryn.

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 13/06/2022 16:22

Merryn definitely, lovely name.

HappyHappyHermit · 13/06/2022 16:22

Merryn

Marymary987 · 13/06/2022 16:21

Merryn

Starbecks1984 · 13/06/2022 16:21

Aurelia 💛

FAQs · 13/06/2022 16:18

May as a first name is beautiful.

toastofthetown · 13/06/2022 16:17

Aurelia. I’m not sure why the PP thinks your daughter wouldn’t want to be Aurelia. I’d rather be an Aurelia than a Merryn.

KirstenBlest · 13/06/2022 16:17

Aurelia is long and will be 0-reel-y-a or O-ray-li-a and will get shortened possibly to Ray. Ray May and Merryn May aren't great .

Summerwetordry · 13/06/2022 16:14

Merryn. Aurelia is a mouthful and I doubt your DD would like it.

Barrawarra · 13/06/2022 16:12

Prefer Merryn.

collieresponder88 · 13/06/2022 16:12

Neither sorry
