Aurelia or Orelia.. which do you prefer

[hiloblue]

I'm considering both names, just wanted to throw it out to the wise mumsnet posters to see which spelling has more love? Thanks!

Aurelia

What's the provenance of Orelia? In all honesty I'd assume its a misspelling of Aurelia...

Aurelia. Is Orelia just one of those made up spellings to be unique?
Aurelia in itself is uncommon enough to not need to be altered and is much prettier anyway.

Orla
Audrey
Lyra

I prefer Aurelia.

It's lovely as Aurelia- I've never seen it spelt the other way.

I'm not keen on Aurelia and Orelia looks like a misspelling

Aurelia. Never seen it spelt as Orelia.

Aurelia is the name pronounced Or-ray-leah.

Is Orelia Oh-ray-leah?

I like Oriel but not Orelia. So Aurelia for me.

Aurelia. I've never come across the other spelling before.

Makes me think of nipples

Orelia looks like a misspelling of Aurelia.

Aurelia. I think it's beautiful.

Orelia looks like a spelling mistake. Also the nearness to the word oral isn't great.

Is Orelia actually a name?

Aurelia - areola

Clearly I have a filthy mind

Aurelia. Mucked around spellings are daft.

They're both hideous names.

Aurelia is usually spelt with the 'Au', so I'd go for that.

We have Aurelia so I am bias.
Have never met anyone else who is named Aurelia so some teachers struggle a bit.

We have an Aurelia too!

Aurelia. So pretty.
