To rhyme with story.

Doinmummy · 16/08/2016 12:25

Or ree . It's pretty .

cbigs · 16/08/2016 12:26

Id pronounce it like ow-ree which is also pretty. ( but haven't seen the name before)

timelytess · 16/08/2016 12:26

or-ri
Or rhymes with tor, for etc
ri as in rip.

OohMavis · 16/08/2016 12:28

Or-ri

Perhaps Ow-ri?

augustusdecimus · 16/08/2016 12:28

Rhymes with story.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 16/08/2016 12:28

aw ree /or ree

Does it have a meaning?

ItchyFoot · 16/08/2016 12:41

It's from a book. I can't decide between Or-ree or Ow-ree

Is it male or female?

JC23 · 16/08/2016 12:53

I know the book Grin
Ay-urr-ee

JC23 · 16/08/2016 12:53

No more like eye-err-ee

MrsJoeyMaynard · 16/08/2016 12:54

Aw-ree

ItchyFoot · 16/08/2016 12:54

That's how I remember the pronunciation from the audiobook

LottieDoubtie · 16/08/2016 12:55

I teach one pronounced "Ow-Ree' but that may not be definitive!

TheLongRains · 16/08/2016 12:55

Immediately thought "ow-ree" (like Audi), but on thinking about it, I'd probably go with "or-ree"

Loyly · 16/08/2016 12:57

I only know it as a Finnish name (so it depends on the setting) and it would be pronounced 'Ow-ri' in Finnish.

devilinmyshoes · 16/08/2016 13:02

ISN'T it short for Auriella (ow ree ella)?

devilinmyshoes · 16/08/2016 13:08

Maybe I'm thinking of Aurelia Or Ray Lee Uh

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 16/08/2016 13:51

Or-ee
Is that that right

Curlgurl · 16/08/2016 13:56

Ow-ree as in the Toyota Auris without the s

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 16/08/2016 14:20

Aw-ree

MrsGsnow18 · 16/08/2016 14:33

A bit like Tori except without the T?
It looks lovely!

Clawdy · 16/08/2016 20:23

Which book? It's ringing a bell, sure I've read it. Lovely name.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 16/08/2016 20:25

I wouldn't. I'd be laughing
