I know the last two aren't real but she's a character in my story. I've always had her name is Aurelia however the other characters have accents that lead them to say her name differently than it is spelled. This is obviously problematic because if a novel you can't actually hear the characters talking, you make your voices up on your own, so I wanted the spelling to reflect the pronunciations.

Anyway they way the say it, it's not that the r is gone, it's just 'hidden' like how asian people have trouble with r's and l's but you can hear a hint of both letters in there. The accent isn't asian but that's the closest comparison.

I could of course just spell it Aurelia and bring up the fact that other characters pronounce it differently due to the accent but I figured I see what you guys thought of the alternate spelling before I went ahead with any one idea.
