Aurelius as a MN?

[SuperGlowBug]

DH is very into his history and would love to use Aurelius as a MN after Marcus Aurelius.

I'm not against it and quite like the 'golden' meaning what with being an Autumn baby...

Is it a bit much though?

As a middle name I think it's nice - I wouldn't go for it as a first name purely as it's hard to shorten, but I like it as a MN.

Is baby a wizard?

We were going to use Aurelius as a first name for our 3 month old if she had been a boy! I like the nickname Auri too ❤️

So no.. I don't think it's too much personally. But I think it actually works better as a first name!

You could also have Ray as a nickname.. Don't think it's hard to shorten at all!

Love Aurelius! I also know an Aurelien (French)

It’s gorgeous and I love Greek and Roman names - but I do think it might be a bit much for everyday life. Middle name?

Yes it would be a middle name (MN)

I’d be inclined to let DH have it if he cares that much. A funky middle name is quite fun.

No it's wonderful!! I wanted Tiberius but we had too many middle names

I really like it! Love Aurelius and Aurelia as first names but it flows well after Marcus x

I like it. It reminds me of my old headmaster who used to read Marcus Aurelius to us in assembly each week. He was an eccentric.

@Xiaoxiong haha Tiberius was on our list as well as Aurelius and also Tidus! ❤️

Cosmoa - Star Trek fan by any chance?

Love it
I'd probably go for Rex Aurelius: golden king. Might as well go swimming if you're going to get wet!

I think it's a lovely name. Do you know what first name your going to use then you can see how it all flows with your surname.

Our first name is unusual too, but not yooneek or wacky, iyswim. It’s Scottish, two syllables and has been mentioned on these boards a bit, gets thumbs up from everyone. It’s a bit outing as a whole name though if we decide to use it!

Might as well go swimming if you're going to get wet!

Love that 😁
