Can you ever be ready for a baby?
Before you get pregnant, you might have all the boxes ticked, or you could be the 'let's just see what happens' type. No matter what your style, it can help to think about the emotional aspects of parenthood.

Think we may have a boys name- but since we are not finding out need some girls names What is the correct pronounciation of: -Aurelia -Aurellia I also like Aurora (but all my other children have an E and an A in there name so would like to keep that up unless I found something perfect)... DD has a older/classic style name- has only sat on the edge of the top 100 - 3 times in the last 10yrs... My 3 boys all have different names... So for a girl I want to find something pretty- not made up- not to different - but not top 100... oh and hopefully with an A & E in it.... |

I pronounce it 'aw-ray-lee-ah'. Not sure if I'm right though.
How about Alessia to fit in your theme? |

ow-RE-lyah, but I don't know if that's right either.
I love Aurora way more. Names with A and E in them, some pretty normal and some pretty weird (but I like all of these): Mae/Maeve, Jane, Clare/Claire, Hazel, Yael, Leah, Azalea, Evangeline, Leora, Eliana, Beatrix, Reina, Xanthe. Did you know Jane is ranked in the low five hundreds of popularity in NSW? Neither did I, I just looked it up to make sure it was out of the top 100, which I was pretty sure it was but I couldn't believe it was that rare. |

I would have said "aw-REEL-ee-ah" - in my head that's the Love, Actually pronounciation. Pretty name!
As an alternative, how about Erica? |

In Aus it is said Awe-ray-lee-ah and Oh-ray-lee-ah. But, if you don't know how to say it why would you want to use it??
In europe it changes depending on the country you are in/are from. Keep in mind a mean nickname for it is Areola. I know because I have a gf Aurelia and she was teased with it in PS. This post has been edited by Smudgied: 14/11/2012, 09:15 PM |

I'd use Aurora and forget your "letter rules". I just had to give up all having an "I" in our names for DD3 - it is worth it!!
Or what about Arielle? |
