Nuria?

Nuria is pronounced NOO-ree-ah. It's a Catalan/Spanish name.

What do you ladies think?

    I think it would always get pronounced "Nur-ee-uh". If I were Catalan/Spanish and that has some significance to me, I might consider it but otherwise I would stick with something my child won't have to spell and/or pronounce for people her whole life.

    I think it's beautiful!! But English speakers will probably butcher it...

    I agree.  Maybe cause it ends in -ria?  And it rhymes with with urea, a component of urine.

    I like it, and looking at this name online, there's supposed to be an accent on the "i" which changes the pronunciation. I like the nn Nur, Nuri (It reminds me of Noor).

    I think there are much prettier Spanish names, but it's okay. I agree with pp that the pronunciation will be butchered in America. Americans can rarely make Spanish names sound as lovely as Spanish speakers.

    My son's Spanish teacher is Nuria, and she is from Spain. They call her NO-re-ah, though...

    My husband worked with a Nouria (Pakistani), pronounced the same way.  She went by Nor informally, but no one mispronounced Nouria.

    It's ok. I don't find it exceptionally pretty, but I agree with pp - I like the NN Nuri.

    It sounds like an artificial sweetener or something.

    Nutria was the first thing I saw when I read the name.
