Please, if by any chance you are considering this name for your child, just go with Orel, or better yet, maybe Orville? Or Earl? Anyone with this name would be tormented all their life.

It could also be a variant of Orrell, which is also in the database.

Great. Reminds me of Oral sex, which is healthy and clean and good for your health so long as both people consent to the act. There is nothing wrong with sex, or talking about sexual actions.

What does that have to do with anything? It certainly doesn't make Oral any better of a name.

I believe it comes from the word meaning "through the mouth". It's obvious.

I thought it was a form of Aurelia/Aurélie. Then at least it could have been a little excusable.

Oral Roberts was named by his mother, because she felt that her son was going to be a big speaker one day. He ended up living with a stutter that miraculously went away when he was 19 years old. And he became the famous televangelist after that. You can find that information in his book, "The Ultimate Voice" by Oral Roberts.

A lot of negative comments! It’s a beautiful name. It has nothing to do with oral sex! It sounds so cute and feminine. Although, it sounds awful on a boy because of that reason. I’m saying that it’s a cute and elegant name and I love it for a girl.

I will NEVER call my child this. He will get teased. This name makes me think of oral... you know what.

This isn't a German name, it's a trashy Anglo-American redneck name coined by illiterate 19th century rednecks who weren't educated enough to know what real names are. It's extremely popular on old men here in redneck Iowa.

It SOUNDS nice as a name if it didn't mean something with the mouth. Only if spelled Aurel, though. But this spelling just makes me want to laugh.

Oh my gosh. I was just searching Ora and accidentally put Oral and I can not believe it is a real name. How sad.

Think of your child's future and name them something other than this.

This name is really stupid. Spell it Aurel as it's supposed to be, not like a term used to describe something to do with the mouth!

I wonder if this name is used any longer. The word "Oral" is definitely used in more languages than English, since it's originally Greek (?), I think. Can't imagine it's still used in Switzerland, where most people speak German, French or Italian.

Oh dear, I can't believe that this is actually a name. I'm aware that it is a form of Aurelius, but the connotations today! This poor boy would probably kill himself in shame if he was in the United States; just think of the obscene nicknames that he'd get.
