Hellobee Boards

I would definitely have to stop and think about it. Aw-Ray-lee-uh?

@Mae: me too.

Or-reel-ee-ah. I pronounce words that end in elia as two syllables opposed to the ya sound. It is very pretty!

I know someone who named their child that recently and we didn't have a clue. Her nickname is Rilly, but I'm still not entirely sure how it's pronounced.

I know several French women named Aurélie. I would pronounce yours Or-el-ee-uh.

Aw-Ray-Leah

Oh-rail-ee-ah

There is a little girl we see on the playground with that name. Her parents have very pretty accents- Spanish or Italian, maybe?- and when they say it it sounds so beautiful. When I say it back it sounds so harsh.

@lady baltimore: @FannyMae: That's how I'd say it!

@Mae: exactly

i would pronounce it like @lamariniere: or-el-ee-uh

Or-el-Lee-uh

Ah-rey-ella

@Mae: Exactly this!

@littleblessings: really pretty name!

Or-rel-ya

My friends niece has this name. They pronounce it Aw-rel-ee-ah

@Mae: just like this!
