Ari as a nickname

[name]Do[/name] you think [name]Ari[/name] could work as a nickname for [name]Aurelia[/name], or would that be too much of a stretch? I pronounce [name]Aurelia[/name] as aw-REL-ee-ah.

it’s a bit of a stretch. [name]Ariella[/name] is quite close to [name]Aurelia[/name] and has the natural [name]Ari[/name] nn.

I think it’s perfectly fine! :slight_smile: I love [name]Aurelia[/name].

I love the name [name]Aurelia[/name] and the nn [name]Ari[/name]! My grandmothers name is [name]Aurelia[/name] and people often call her [name]Aurie[/name]. It may be different spellings but same thing really!

I think that’s just fine - [name]Aurelia[/name] is lovely!

I think it works, but my first thought was of [name]Ari[/name] [name]Gold[/name] from the HBO series Entourage. I don’t think a lot of folks would make this association though!
