Aurora or Aurelia?

[Ithoughtyouwere]

I like both but wondering whether they’re too hard for kids to pronounce themselves. Would also have issues with the various pronunciations of Aurelia (even me and dh don’t currently say it the same 🙄), though I think aurora is generally universally said the same.

DD1 is Lyra so I think they both fit well.

Aurelia. I love it.
I pronounce it aww ray lee ah

Thoughts and/or other name suggestions welcome!

Lyra and Vega. It would rock.

Lyra was my absolute favourite name of all time. Then DD looked nothing like it!

Aurora and Aurelia are both beautiful.

Arabella
Seraphina

I love both Aurora and Aurelia

With Aurora you could use nickname Rory when she’s little- I know that’s not to everyone’s taste but I love it. I think you should stick with one of those two names ... but if not....

Here’s some suggestions:

Cora
Imogen
Sadie
Edith / Edie
Margaret /Maggie
Clementine/ Clemmie
Roxanne/Roxanna
Pearl
Delilah
Ottilie (Ottie)
Cora
Eliza
River
Winter
Jemima
Holly

We considered Aurora and Aurelia for our little girl. I wouldn’t worry about whether they can pronounce it themselves as before long they will be able to. My daughters name is hard for kids to say but it always sounds cute when they try 😂

I liked the nicknames Auri/Ari/Ray/Raylia/Lia for Aurelia. My friend has a little girl born just after mine named Aurora and they call her Rory and Rora for short which I love 😍

Aurelia is too much like areola to me ... love aurora though

I love Aurelie

Aurelia is a favorite of mine.
Not as popular as Aurora and doesn't have as much of a princessy connection to a princess who didn't do a whole lot (sleeping beauty)

How about Coralie (I think that’s the right spelling but might need to check)

I prefer aurora and Aurelia though

Aurelia.

I've got a Lyra 🥰 I love both but I think aurora would be a bit much with Lyra already having a connection to the northern lights etc. Aurelia is so beautiful!

Aurora
Aurelia will forever be correcting spelling/pronunciation

Don’t like Aurelia. I don’t like the “reeelia” bit in the name

I prefer Aurora.

Love Aurelia! So pretty. I would pronounce it Au-ray-lee-ah.

Not so keen on Aurora but it does go well with Lyra

These are my two favourite names (other than the one I chose for my daughter) and both are absolutely beautiful
Definitely go for one of them rather than compromising because you are worried about people pronouncing either one, they will learn.
I think I'd go with Aurora if I had to chose today

I love Aurora, one of my fave names

I prefer Aurora، more well known, easier to pronounce and prettier than aureilia in my opinion.

I prefer Aurelia but feel like Aurora goes slightly better with your other daughter's name!

I like both! But I’d pronounce Aurelia Ow-REH-lee-a.

Aurelia. I think it's an Italian name. Try to use the correct pronunciation

I love both but prefer Aurelia. What about Adina, Anya, Thea, Xanthe or Iona?

I much prefer Aurora.

I like both preferring Aurelia because it's easier for me to pronounce Aww ree Lee a.... another option would be Arriety....so they would both have character names?

I think Aurora is too identified with Disney.

Love Aurelia. I pronounce it Aw-REE-lee-a
