Aurelia

English Pronunciations: aw-REEL-ee-ə, aw-REEL-yə.

We just named our 8th baby Aurelia, we pronounce it "Oh-Rail-Yuh" or "Oh-Ray-Lee-Uh.
We're from Quebec, Canada where we find a lot of girls named Aurélie "Oh-Ray-Lee", I have always loved the name but since we're mostly English, we went with a more "English friendly" version.

I pronounce it Ah-Ray-li-ah - Like in Australia :)

I pronounce it uh-reh-lee-uh, but that's just my instinct and I have no idea if that's "correct".

I pronounce this uh-REL-ya. I think I’m the first person on here to comment with that pronunciation (?)
Anyway, that’s my favorite pronunciation!

Aurelia is my name and because I am Romanian, as in Latin (apart from a few diphthongs and triphthongs) every written letter is also a sound, thus we break the syllables down and pronounce it like this a:-u:-ré-li-a.
I get called Ariela a lot as people have difficulties pronouncing it right but I prefer that to Orelia which means ear in Portuguese. It makes the name ugly that way. Please do not pronounce it Oh-rey-lia. Not even Italians say it that way.

The way we pronounce this name in our Latin class is ow-RAY-lia.

Pronounced
- ow (like "ow, I stubbed my toe")
- rel (rhymes with Dell or bell or sell)
- yah (like the karate people on TV yell ha-YAH! when they hit people)

This name has been on my list for awhile. It is my top favorite girls name at the moment.

Pronounced Ah-RAY-lee-ya.

This is my mother's name, and the pronunciation we use is Uh-RILL-yah, not the long A sound. I think it probably just formed from the "accent" people have in my region.

This is a gorgeous and centuries-old name that could be found in the Roman Empire. Pronounced commonly as ah-RAYL-ya or ah-RAY-lee-ah.
