Just that really. Which way round do you think we should go?

Which name do you prefer? It’s as simple as that!
I don’t give my DC’s middle names a second thought from week to week, - they’re irrelevant - whereas their first names we’re using every day.

What sally said. I prefer Aurelia personally, beautiful name.

SoupDragon · 09/10/2017 12:38

It sounds fine either way so, as the others said, go with the one you like most.

Personally, I prefer Ivy as Aurelia isn't to my taste but that's kind of irrelevant really :)

CabernetSauvignyoni · 09/10/2017 12:50

Do you want her to be Aurelia or Ivy? Because that's all it comes down to!

Saying that, Aurelia Ivy does run the risk of running together a bit if you say it quickly and sounds like Aureliarivy. Might be worth considering, but in reality her full name won't necessarily be said out loud a lot so it may not be an issue!

Opheliasgoldenwine · 09/10/2017 13:03

I prefer the latter Smile

Aurelia Ivy.

RhonaRugMuncherr · 09/10/2017 16:50

Aurelia is a million times nicer than Ivy

Gaggleofgirls · 09/10/2017 17:03

Thanks we like both which is why we're stuck! We usually go for quite unusual names though so I'm concerned Ivy may not fit with the other girls x

Ivy Aurelia.

Alittlepotofrosie · 09/10/2017 18:04

Aurelia is beautiful.

Nonameyet1 · 09/10/2017 19:45

Aurelia, definitely! Gorgeous.

MikeUniformMike · 09/10/2017 20:59

I don't like Ivy.

Smoliver · 09/10/2017 22:28

I love both names. I think Aurelia Ivy works best though, especially if you're after a unique first name. Either way is good though! Grin

DramaAlpaca · 09/10/2017 22:45

Ivy Aurelia flows better, but I prefer Aurelia.

Sophronia · 10/10/2017 00:41

Aurelia Ivy

AdaColeman · 10/10/2017 00:51

Aurelia, fab name.

I'm not keen on Ivy at all.

Beeziekn33ze · 10/10/2017 01:05

Aurelia Ivy

FindTheLightSwitchDarren · 10/10/2017 10:52

I couldn't choose between them tbh. I know Ivy is more commonly used, but then Aurelia is a bit more flowery / fussy. Totally depends on your style. Maybe wait to meet her and see what she looks like (assuming you haven't already that is)!
