Comments for the name Aurelio

Pronounced ow-RAYL-yoh (first syllable rhymes with now). [noted -ed]

The Gothic musician known as Voltaire has cited Aurelio as his birth name.

I like the name, it sounds youthful and vibrant but also mature. Maybe a son of mine could pull it off as a middle name because of my partial Italian/Portuguese heritage- but I also don't think I'd want to use such an ethnic name. Aurelian would be more fitting in America, but it looks very boring on paper.

A proper Italian pronunciation for Aurelio would be:

Aw-Ray-LEE-Oh

"Au" as in "Father", or only a slight variation. "Re" would be said as a light "aye", quickly. Depending where you're from, it may also be pronounced "REE". The "I" in "Li" is stressed to a "LEE". "O" is simply "Oh".

English pronunciation, from my experience, would be:

Uh-Ril-EE-Oh, or slight difference, depending on American/English accent.
