Willow Aurelia or Aurelia Willow

[SilkCotton]

Which way around do people think sounds the nicest? We are settled on these two names and love them both equally. Our surname begins with E.
Thanks :)

I like Aurelia Willow. Initials will be AWE, which I think is cute. But I do agree that you should chose whichever you prefer as a first name as that’s what she will be known as.

Depends on your accent. I know a willow and it sounds awful in their accent, so if you have an accent that isn’t neutral probably Aurelia . I personally don’t like the names together but that’s my opinion

I'm sorry, I can't warm to Aurelia... reminds me of nipples.

So I'd go with Willow as a first name.

Willow as the first name because Aurelia is awful.

Thanks everyone, especially the posters who said imagine what name you would feel more comfortable yelling at the playground so we are going with Willow as the first name :)

We are in Surrey and have fairly neutral accents - what accent does it sound so awful in out of interest?

@SilkCotton a Yorkshire accent. I’m fairly neutral myself, But being from Midlands myself also sounds bad with a bit of a brummie twang to it, I think it’s to do with the pronunciation of the low part. But if you have a neutral accent then I don’t think it sounds bad.

Aurelia first

Lovely reasons for two beautiful names. People are so odd! You’ve clearly stated you love both names and just wanted opinions on the order!

I vote Aurelia Willow purely because I prefer the thought that Aurelia can have nice shortenings x

I love Willow. Don't see why people think it is modern, Buffy's best friend was called Willow in the mid 90's. I don't know how to pronounced Aurelia, is it ree or ray I the middle?

Aurelia first. Beautiful name.

Aurelia - beautiful

Thank you x Yes this always happens on baby name threads so I was expecting those kinds of unhelpful comments 😂
