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.
