Aurelia or Meredith

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I'm just curious, which of the two do you prefer?

Luna in mainland Europe it is, yes.

Tywy

I'd pronounce it the English way. I've never come across a man in Wales with it spelled the anglicised way, only Meredydd, which I would pronounce the Welsh way.

I really like Romilly! Unfortunately there is a park and various streets with the name in the city I live in (South Wales).

I don't like either.

Aurelia is OTT frilltastic and Meredith is very stuffy whilst also being a more than slightly ridiculous boy's name.

Also really like Merryn

Squoosh

Thanks for your input but that wasn't the question.

Meredith, I have extremely good reasons for liking Meredith as a name

HUGE apologies.

We have a Meredith. Although wish I'd known about the Meredydd spelling

We use nn Meri or Mez for a few special people.

Never been sorry we picked this name.

Meredith. Our DD is Meredith. I am therefore biased. Lovely name though, and gets fabulous reactions.

Meredith would be preferable.

Aurelia sounds Disney princess and sounds too similar to areola (nipple area somebody mentioned already)

Aurelia is pronounced Or-ray-leah

That it is. I very much dislike the other pronunciation. It doesn't sound quite proper.

Meredith is a beautiful name! Aurelia is nice too, but I hadn't thought of Meredith and I predict a rash of Meredith's now!

I love Aurelia!

I've been practicing saying Aurelia aloud, just to see how I actually say it. Turns out I do Or-ray-leah.

Which I agree, is nicer than than ee sound.

My daughter born July 2014 is Aurelia. We love it and she's not one of a million of others named something similar. We pronounce it or-ray-Leah
Good luck and go with your heart!
