Do you know anyone, adult or child, called Aurelia?

[Whysoserious]

I love this name.

How many are out there? (particularly in Britain, I realise it's popular in Eastern Europe and other European countries),

If you know one how old are they? What do they get called?

I know an Aurelia (in her 20s) and an Aurel (in his 50s I think). They're both Romanian, and pronounced with an Ow sound.

Cool name!

One (24), she's Israeli & she gets called Ariel alot.

I don't know any but I love it. DH doesn't like it so it was on my "fantasy name" list when I was pg.

I know one - 6 years old. British.

I know one who is in her 30's in South Africa. She gets called Elia. It's alright I guess

One, 7 months old.

Two girls both 12!

Love it for my DD but how is it pronounced? Looks like in a few different ways? Is it prettier with emphasis on ee sound? I thought it sounded like aw-rah-lia?

Under, love Elia as shortened version, saw that name yesterday funnily enough and liked that too!

The only one I've come across is the character in Love Actually!

I know one, Polish I think, in her late twenties and she is an awful person! Gold-digger in the extreme and proud of it!

However it is a really lovely name and I would only have a very brief shudder if I met another one. :)

I know an adult (French) Aurelie 'OR-e-lee'

I also know a 10yr old Dorelia - not as pretty, imho.

None, apart from the girl in Love Actually! It's a gorgeous name.

I know a 16 year old Aurelia, as far as I know she is only ever called by her full name.

One 2 year old. Her Mum is from eastern Europe. Don't think her name is shortened to anything.

I know one, 2 days old and she's super cute.

Don't know any but its ony list for dc3 (currently cooking) tis beautiful :)

I think it is a very pretty name and I know several Aurelia's. However, it is a name with a lot of character and I think that it can be quite hard to carry off if you don't have the beautiful and headstrong personality of the name itself!
