Rose is a great name, but if there’s no special meaning attached, I might use something less expected:

Aurelia Mary
Aurelia Maren
Aurelia Lauren
Aurelia Haven
Aurelia June
Aurelia Thais
Aurelia Justine
Aurelia Cady
Aurelia Bay

But some of it depends on your last name, too …

And she goes well with Matilda, Oliver and Iris, too! But I do love Beatrix, too – tough call!

Aurelia / Aurelie is tied first place as my girls name for our next bub (tied with Beatrix). I absolutely adore her, and have for years! I love the richness of Aurelia, but I feel Aurelie suits Matilda, Oliver & Iris a little better.

It may be my Australian accent, as it seems I’m in the minority when compared with the the lovelies online, but I pronounce her aw-REE-lee-ah / au -reh-LEE

To me, her over-the-top, ornate Spanish feel is both her greatest strenth and greatest weakness. I love the idea of Aurelia but would I get fed up with her sound in practice? Probably.

I might know that Aurelia has ancient, well heeled associations but countless others might interpret this name as a fussy, frilly, princessy choice. What’s more, I feel strongly that a name should give you a certain amount of breathing space. While some days are frilly, feminine days when I would wholeheartedly embrace the idea of a names like Aurelia; other days are classic stripped-bare days when Aurelia would seem unnecesarily fussy.

Strongly considered for my daughter born in “the year of the golden boar”, but in the end, I just couldn’t pull the trigger.
