It is "ow-RAY-lee" NOT "orally". "R" sounds a bit like "h" in French.

Definitely one of the most beautiful European names. I’m really proud to be named that way, it’s an elegant, feminine, powerful and strong name. I’m thankful for having such a beautiful name.

In 2018, 15 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Aurelie who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 21, 508th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens. (SSA data doesn't include diacritics, so I omitted the accent mark. If a parent named their child Aurélie in the United States, it would appear as Aurelie in the data.)

I love the meaning of this name, and it sounds very royal!

This name is better than Aurelia and Aurora in my honest opinion, but definitely with an accent over the middle so as not to be mistaken for 'orally'... Lovely name though, and would consider for future daughter definitely!

Well, for one thing Aurelie is BEAUTIFUL. I should know as it is MY name. I was never made fun of because my mom (before she learned how my name is REALLY pronounced) pronounced it are-uh-lee or like how it looks like it should be pronounced in English.

Use of the name Aurélie in France was extremely rare before the 1980's, when it became considerably trendy. It's height of popularity was in 1983.

Pronounced properly, this is an exquisite name, hands down.
And unlike the "terror"/"Terra" pair, I can't see how "Aurélie" can sound like "orally" -- oh wait, I forgot. English doesn't treat differently-accented vowels as different sounds, and uses "é" and "è" to represent the same thing: an unnaturally-placed stress on an "e" vowel in some poetry (such as in the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries). And given that this practice is dying out... yeah. Fine.
(Woe betide any who mutilate this name in a mocking manner.)
I may heartily recommend this name, but I also see how mutilation is possible. If you like, swap out the ending "e" for an "a" and you get "Aurelia" (which, I'm surprised to note, isn't at all [officially] proposed by this site), which, by this site's pronunciation guide, would be pronounced "aw-REL-ee-ə".

Assuming this wonderful name is being correctly spoken with a FRENCH accent, it is one of the most beautiful names I've ever heard - so delicate. Unfortunately, as has already been noted, not so good otherwise.

Aurélie is a beautiful name.

The name is beautiful, but in English-speaking countries, it would surely lead to rather nasty ora-LEE jokes with a fake French accent. With the stress on the first syllable, it would be even worse.

This name is pretty, but I think it sounds too much like 'orally' when said in English.
