Do you have/ know an Aurelia?

[Prettylittlelady]

Does anyone here have or know an Aurelia?
How is it pronounced and has she had issues with people spelling/saying her name?

Dd1 has a friend Aurelia pronounced Aureelia. I had to tell dd1 that calling her wee wee was very unkind.

I know a 1 year old I say Or REH Lia.

She's mixed race and her mum picked it because it means golden.

Yes, Or REL ia is how I've heard it pronounced.

It's spelled Aurelia and not Auraylia or Aureelia.

In other words the second syllable should be pronounced as it's written (el).

@Flowerpowersy I know how it is spelt how ever the pronunciation with ‘ray’ is the middle is a legitimate way of saying this name.

I know of four. Three are the Au -ray- lia pronunciation, that's the norm round here.

The fourth is Au -reh- lia but people mispronounce it often as Au -ray- lia.

The one I know is ten and pronounces her name or-ray-lee-uh.

I know one aged 1 - pronounced or-ee-lee-a.
