Aurelia

[afrikat]

Has anyone used this name? Do people have trouble pronouncing it?

What would it get shortened to in theory?

I love it. Might pinch it for my list as I am looking for a four sylabble name.

Yes,

Clar-ah/Claire-ah
Esmay/Esmee

Though I've never heard the "Claire-ah" pronunciation used where I live so it is perhaps a regional thing.

Thanks all. The more I think about it the more I love it ❤

I know an adult Clara (Claire-a) actually. I prefer the Clah-ra pronunciation myself.

Interesting. I've never heard the Claire-uh or Es-may pronunciations - sounds a bit weird!

I know an Aurelia (pronounced or- rell- ee-ah) she has a sibling called Aurora,

I'm afraid I don't like either
