in Baby Names

How is it pronounced? I really like it so far, but I am not sure if I am pronouncing it correctly.

I was thinking of the mn Lorraine.

So, Aurelie Lorraine. Honest opinions welcome.

    I think it looks pretty, but in my head I pronounce it "Orally" and that's not something I would want my daughter to have to deal with ;-)

    I prefer Aurora or Aurelia.

    Of course, some people think Aurelia looks like areola... can't win with these "aur-" names sometimes ;-)

    Oh-reh-lee

    I like it but, prefer Aurelia.

    Aurelie Lorraine kind of sounds like the same name twice. It is okay. I do like Lorraine.

    I spent about two months in Paris, and new a girl named Aurelie. It's pronounced aur-el-EE. I was in love with this name the moment I heard it, but people in the states might not pronounce it correctly.

    Aurelie Lorraine isn't my fave combo. They kind of run together/are too similar/have the same letters.

    I've always loved the idea of Aurelie Kate.

    Yep.  I think of Orally, which is not what you want a girl's name to sound like.

    I love Aurelia, though.

    This was my first thought too. And I'm  not sure how to pronounce it? Orally? Its a NO for me.

    If you take away the "orally" link, I love it but I agree that it sounds like that.  I love the song Aura Lee which keeps me liking the name even after thinking about the "orally" sound.

    Unfortunately its one of those names that just doesn't make it over from the French pronunciation, which I love.

    I would pronounce this name similar to my name Orley, pronounced or-lee. And I def got the Orally teasing and it was really annoying.
