I find it stunning. My eldest niece has this as her middle name. Before her, I never even heard of the name before. I'm glad that it's on the rise. A beautiful name like this one deserves the recognition. 😊

Aurelia... it's almost made of light. Maybe it's not the most natural-sounding name in the world, but it doesn't try to complicate itself. It's just so warm and songlike, not to mention timeless. Very beautiful.

Aurelia is beautiful. One of the names that I love lots.

Stunning!

Don't really like it

Has a certain dignity, but also a certain frilliness.

I like it a lot, the meaning is pretty. I wouldn't mind using it in real life, despite Aurelia being a grandma name in my country.

I like Aurelia a lot. I first came across it when learning Latin at school 30 years along. I first came across a real life one fairly recently, one of my brownies so I have positive associations with it.

There is also a character with that name in the British Film Love Actually. Though the character is not my first thought.

It took me a long time to warm to it but I think Aurelia is a beautiful name. It's the feminine version of the Ancient Roman name Aurelius. There were Saints named Aurelia, Aurea, Aurelian and Aurelius and a Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius so there's nothing artificial about it. It's the real deal. I also like the meaning "golden or gilded".

It’s really pretty, but almost too pretty — it feels kind of artificial to me.
