[Opinions] Aurora or Aurelia?
I had a dream last night that I was trying to decide between these two names for my third baby (not the case yet, but maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me something ;o) ).
Anyway, I woke up before I could decide, but I know I was pretty torn. Right now I'd go with Aurora, but I'm not sure.
WDYT? Which one would you choose? Any mn suggestions?

I strongly prefer Aurelia.
No worries, none taken ;o). I wasn't a big fan of either name to be honest so I have no idea what caused this particular dream...But they're starting to grow on me.
Anyways, I do love the Italian pronounciation of Aurora better, and the French one on Aurelia (Aurelie). They just seem to flow better in those languages.

Exact ooposite. Aurora gets sickening after a while.
Both names are gorgeous, but I tend to like Aurelia more.
I fear the male nn Rory from Aurora. As a general rule I'm neutral on established male nns for girls, ex: Georgia --> nn Georgie, Miranda --> Randi. It's just that Rory is relatively new to most parents these days, here in the U.S. I don't want it solidifying in their minds that Rory is a girl's name. Does that make sense?
How are you pronouncing Aurelia? I prefer "o-RAY-lee-uh," but "o-REE-lee-uh" is nice too.

Yes it does make sense :o). I knew an Aurora once and her nn was Aura so I never really thought about any other nn for Aurora. I'm generally not a huge fan of nn. I mean sometimes they can really take away the special element of a name.
I pronounce Aurelia o-ree-lee-ah.
Any mn suggestions :o)?
