question...

[stardottedeyes.livejournal.com]

I was on the way to work the other day, and saw a sign on the side of the road that said "Relie's Party" with an arrow. It got me wondering... what kind of name is Relie?

The sign was handwritten, but I am 99% sure it said Relie. Maybe it is a nickname?

How would you pronounce Relie? Male or female name?

I'm thinking it's some sort of butchering of Riley. Probably a girl, but it could be a boy.

That's what I'm thinking :/

it's most likely pronounced like ree-lee, and i'm pretty sure that's a girl (could be short for aurelia, or something like that).

I'm thinking REH-lee, female.
But I'd say "weird name, kid".

On a somewhat related level, I like the name Reillanne (Ray-yahn), it's the name of a town in Provence, and the sound makes more sense in french.

I would pronounces it Reh-lee too.

At first I thought it was a butchered Riley, but then I thought it could be a nickname for Aurelia.

I am going to hope it's a last name and someone doesn't know how to use apostrophes.

To be honset, the first thing I thougt of when I saw Relie was the name Aurelie. When I took French we had to act out scenarios about a girl named Aurelie, which I don't think is too terrible of a name.
