I like Aurora nicknamed Rory and Aurelia nicknamed Rae. Which do you prefer?

much prefer rae. i knew an aurelia who was rather unkindly called 'orally'. just a heads up

StarHeartDiamond · 16/05/2017 14:21

Aurelia, it's prettier

Aurora is so hard for me to say that I much prefer Aurelia!

Sorry all I hear is "orally" Blush I used to work with a French girl with this name

How about Oriana? Like it and Aurora and Aurelia.

I like the long version of both, but I can't stand Rory for a girl so I'd probably prefer Aurelia for that reason alone.

I prefer Aurelia. But I don't like Rae as a nickname. I know a little girl with a similar name whose nickname is Lili (lee-lee, rather than Lily), which is quite cute. Though quite far away from the original name!

I like both but would probably say Aurora has the edge for me. I think I prefer Rora as a nn over Rory.

I've come across a few Ariellas too; less keen on that one though.
