Definitely Aurelia. It’s has a beautiful sound, pleasant look, and positive meaning. Honestlynit would be on my shortlist if I were planning to have kids.I like the meaning of Aurora, but don’t really care for it because of the double R. I can’t pronounce it. It just comes out ‘uhwowwra’ or some similar slurred noise, and that doesn’t make a good name. Realize that other people probably don’t struggle with it and so it would work for them. Aura is nice, but again awkward to say (but not as bad as Aurora). It also seems short and sweet, maybe *too* short and sweet. It’s missing something.

I'm not crazy about Aura, but Aurelia and Aurora are both beautiful names. I don't like the English pronounciations very much, though. Aurelia sounds like "oh, really, yah?" and Aurora makes me think of roaring.
But I would choose Aurelia.

Probably Aurora.I dislike Aura, but I like both Aurelia and Aurora. Both would work where I live, but I just prefer the look of Aurora and Aurelia is a little too close to 'borrelia' (lyme disease).

Aurora is my fav out of these. I have a feeling that people would assume I was a hippie or something if I named my daughter Aura.. but I love Aura for a pet though, that would be lovely. I like Aurelia, it is a pretty name, but I kind of think it fits better for a book character than a real person. But that’s definitely just my association to the name.

Aurelia. Aura is okay, but a little fluffy and kooky. I hate Aurora, it's so awkward.

Aurelia, no contest.Aurelia is gorgeous.Aurora is a liquid mouthful of Rs.Aura isn't bad, but very... New Age-y.

Aurelia, hands down. It's very elegant sounding and even pleasant to view. This is the middle name of my oldest niece with the pronunciation being 'Uh-REL-ee-uh'Aurora: I honestly used to really detest this name. I have since warmed up to it but not to the extent of choosing it above the other choices. It would probably be my second pick though.Aura: Don't care for it.

I love all 3, but Aura is the only one not in the top 1000 where I live, so I’d use Aura.

Aurelia. The others are just words - OK, Aurora has a ballet theme, but Aura is just silly.
