Oui ou non?

I think I may have finally found the name for my little girl due late April/early May.

Quinn Aurelia [Trenholm]

I had a hard time finding a middle name that sounds good with Quinn and my last name but the more I say this, the more I like it - it actually gave me butterflies when I put the names together.

Thoughts/opinions?

pronunciation?

How do you pronounce Aurelia? I am sure I am prounouncing it with a spanish flair, as I came across the male name Aurelio while living in Guatemala.

Which sylable gets the accent, and how do you pronounce the Au?

R-L-E-ah?

Thanks!

aw-rel-ya

There is a sound clip of it here here (http://www.babynamer.com/aurelia) (click the little speaker next to the name at the top) - she says it like Amelia with an 'r' instead of an 'm.'

Thanks!

I prefer the spanish way of pronouncing every vowel independantly. Ou-reh-lee-ah accent on the reh syllable. But all three ways (thus mentioned) are pretty-sounding.

Ooh, and I like it's meaning! "Golden", how very nice. (Totally random tanget thought: My friend married a man actually named Golden - kinda cool)
