Help with girl names!

DH & I have been thinking about Aurelia Lee or Aurora Lynn -- what does everyone think? We want non-traditional names, but not completely unusual! We seem to be getting 'a face' from people when we say Aurelia.... would love some feedback!

Thank you

I like Aurora much better. Maybe because breastfeeding is in the horizon, but Aurelia makes me think of areola.

I really like Aurelia! Have you seen the movie "Love Actually" there is a character who is a young woman from Portugal and that is her name.

I hadn't thought of Elle, Ellie or Rory as ways to shorten the names! I really like Rory, but I don't think DH is too keen on it...

Love Actually is where we first heard the name! LOL! We looked it up though, and it is latin for 'Golden.'

Aurelia Lee is like a tongue twister to me.  It just doesn't flow well.  Aurora Lynn is NMS, but much nicer.

I like Aurora Lynn, with Rory as a nn!

My husband likes Aurelia (thanks to the movie) but I'm just not sure I do (and now that we're having a boy, we don't have to decide). It reminds me of ariola and I think she'll get made fun of. I think it's one of those names that won't be appreciated, and is a bit hard to say. You could do Lia as a nickname?

I grew up with an Aurora, so I really like that name. I think Rory is adorable.

I love Aurora but I really dont care for Aurelia

I think Aurelia is really pretty but only pronounced like on Love Actually (and Aurora is nice too but harder to say) but I don't like either mn with those first names.What about:

Aurelia Mae 

Aurelia Jane

Aurelia Belle

Aurelia Grace

Aurelia Diane

Aurelia Kate

Aurora is beautiful and love the nn Rory! With Aurelia you'll have people pronouncing it Ora-lee-ah and Or-eel-ya?

Ariola never even crossed my mind! And we've been trying to think of ways names could me made fun of.. I will talk to DH about this, thanks so much!!

Lee is a family name that I want to pass on, so we are trying to pick a first name that fits.

We don't have any problems with boy names, we've had those picked out for quite a while: Olliver Roy (Call him Ollie, Roy is in honor of my Gpa) or James Elijah (call him Elijah)

I like Aurora better!

I definitely agree that as soon as kids get sex ed in school, Aurelia will get made fun of. I also just like the name Aurora better. it's much easier to say.

Aurelia was my Latin name in high school when I took Latin.  Means golden.  I like it, but I can understand if others think it's too different.  It's ultimately your decision, though, so it really doesn't matter what others think.  Yell it out the front door like you're calling your kid in for dinner.  See if it feels right...

I think both names are lovely, but I prefer Aurelia.  However, I do agree with the PP who said that Aurelia Lee is a bit of a tongue-twister.

And Ketch

I like both of them!  I think Aurora is more familiar to people, but I think Aurelia is a little prettier.  You could use the nn Lia.

I like both, but I'd switch the MNs - Aurelia Lynn and Aurora Lynn.

I adore Aurelia.

Neither are my style, however, I like Aurelia is better but with a different middle name. Aurelia Lee is a tongue twister.
