Help[Opinions] Re: Need help with gold-inspired names: Auriel/Auria
in reply to a message by pinetree_137
1. My first language is Canadian English and I would say Auriel/Auria like "AWE-ree-elle" and "AWE-ree-uh" (Auria is indistinguishable in sound from Aria/Arya).
2. If I had to pick one for your intended goals, I'd say I prefer Auriel, but only because it's the better of two bad choices. To me, both names have a very immature energy, like the kind of thing a child thinks up for a beautiful princess, but Auria is especially flighty and shrill. Auriel has a tiny bit more gravitas, even if it is theatrical.
3. Auriel does sound like Ariel. But when I look at the name I don't make that connection. It's just the sound that is similar. Still, I would anticipate lots of accidental misspellings of Ariel if you go with Auriel.
