my husband is really keen on the name Aurelia for a girl but I am not so sure... I am trying not to be swayed by my parents or the in-laws but I would really appreciate hearing some opinions

It's beautiful.

rockybalboa · 03/07/2013 20:23

Lovely name. We have one in the family.

Sylvia Plath's mum was called Aurelia. It's unusual in a nice way.

Have you come up with anything you favour more?

Rhubarbgarden · 03/07/2013 22:22

I like it.

ThePieSmuggler · 03/07/2013 22:24

I do like it, but unfortunately it makes me think of the word areola. Probably just my oddness but there you goSmile

Very pretty. I like Aurora too.

Would you shorten it?

mamalovesmojitos · 03/07/2013 22:43

Lovely name.

PrincessOfChina · 03/07/2013 22:44

Love it. It was in our list for DD and if we had another I think it might be a front runner.

mikkii · 03/07/2013 22:47

I love it. Had an Aurelle at school.

Oriunda · 04/07/2013 08:56

Aurelia would have been one of 3 possibles if DS had been a DD. I think it's lovely.

farmersdaughter · 04/07/2013 09:21

I love it.

On my list DH not keen

karinmaria · 04/07/2013 09:26

It's a lovely name. Reminds me of Love Actually as I think the lady Colin Firth's character falls for has that name.

A colleague in France is called Aurelie which I also really like.

Graceparkhill · 04/07/2013 09:28

Beautiful name.

fanjobiscuits · 04/07/2013 09:28

I had the same thought as pie smuggler

Pixieonthemoor · 04/07/2013 18:56

Love it but only if the first part rhymes with oar and not ow.

Christelle2207 · 04/07/2013 20:28

Beautiful and reminds me of Colin firth's love interest in love actually too.
I would be worried about others pronouncing it wrongly though.

AnythingNotEverything · 04/07/2013 20:30

Love it.

girliefriend · 04/07/2013 20:32

I have a good friend called Aurelie which I think is very pretty Smile

Elquota · 04/07/2013 22:33

It's nice. Or how about Aurora or Amelia?

lessonsintightropes · 04/07/2013 22:41

Love it - a beautiful name. Can it be shortened to Lia too?
