Help[Opinions] Re: Need help with gold-inspired names: Auriel/Auria
in reply to a message by pinetree_137
I slightly prefer Auria. I like Aurelia more than Auriel or Auria, though. Reading it in my head, I lean toward "oh" as the first vowel sound. If I were meeting a person with that name and had only seen it on paper, rather than hear someone introduce themself, I'd probably ask about how to pronounce it.

Thanks! I've considered Aurelia, but thought it might be too overtly ancient Roman? I'm not European (i.e. white) and would feel a bit weird about using such a strongly Roman-associated name, if that makes sense?

I guess to me anything with "au" in there meaning gold is going to feel Roman-associated to me.
