Okay, well - I technically suck. Evidently my b/f and I are having some crossed wires. I thought the name we wanted was pronounced

"Ah ree ella"

Where as he thought it'd be pronounced

"Ah rail lee ah"

So I like his pronunciation better. We could call her "Railey" for short. Just wondering which pronunciation was preferred here. LoL - I like that his version doesn't bring connotations of nipples to mind. ;0)

We'd spell it Aureillea as opposed to Aureilla. I do understand that I'd be dooming my child to a lifetime of having to spell and explain her name - but we think that's a better course of life than to name her "June" lol. Besides I know a Noelle who constantly has to correct people on how to say her name, so there are no guarantees that people will always say your name right.

Oh, and we decided we would spell Nouveau as the word for "new" and not as Neuveau as in the last name of the actress we first got the name from.

I like his pronunciation better too. Very pretty.

Something about the spelling is still throwing me off, though. I think maybe it's the i next to the two l's that looks odd. What about Auralia?

[shadiroxan.livejournal.com]

Much better.

Something about the Neuveau part just doesn't seem right as a name though. Not sure exactly what it is. Could just be me.

It's a lot of vowels, that's for sure. Perhaps Aureilea?
I don't know...

what about "aurelia"?

I like the names. And I like his pronunciation better.
How about Araleah?
The spelling is definately throwing me off, but no matter what your name is, you still have to tell people how to pronounce it.
Good luck!

Both pronounciations will result in the child being called nipple in school.

i do like his pronouciation better as for the spelling of it, i'd suggest something like Aurailea or Aurelia. how is the Nouveau pronouced? is it like Neveah (ne-vee-ah or ne-vay-ah)?

[freshintellect.livejournal.com]

ok, found the pronounciation of nouveau in your previous post. I think the two names really fit well together.
