How would you pronounce Aurelia?

[PowerslidePanda]

Aurelia is one of the names we're considering for a girl. It hadn't occurred to me that there was more than one way to pronounce it until I looked at the Nameberry page which showed 2 different pronunciations - neither of which was the one I've been using! So how would you pronounce it?

I've heard 'or-AY-lia' and 'or-EEL-ia' - how do you pronounce it?

Oh-really-ah

Uh-rell-ee-uh

Or-reel-ee-ah

Or-ee-lee-ar

Or-rel-lia. I know 2, one 1 year old and 1 30 something French woman!

I think I would pronounce it oh-Ray-Lee-ar
Was it the name of the woman who Colin Firth's character in Love Actually fell in love with?

or-REE-lee-ah

Or-rell-lia

^^i think that might be the american way of pronouncing it but the little girl i know who has the same name pronounces it this way

Or Real E A.

Just watching to see the 3 options.

(sorry that 2nd comment was intended to go with my 1st one)

Or-rell-EE-a

Oh-rail-ya

If she was English Or really Ah. If not, Ow Ray Lee Er.

I've heard it pronounced Or-RAY-lee-a too.

Awe reel ee ah

Or-ree-lee-ah but I’ve also heard Or-ray-lee-ah

Ow reh leah
But I'm a Spanish speaker and that's how we would pronounce it.

Or- ray- lee- ah

Aw/or Ray lee ah - then I’d ask if I’d pronounced it right.

Actually Oh-rail-ia

Or-ray-leah

Or-reel-yah

Or RAY li ah
