Aurelia nickname Lila?

Really love the name [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], but don’t seem to like any of the nicknames. Also, the name [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is starting to grow on me, but I would never use it alone.

Is [name_f]Lila[/name_f] too much of a stretch as a nickname for [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]?

I think [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is lovely :slight_smile: [name_f]Rorie[/name_f] and [name_u]Ari[/name_u] could work too, but I personally like [name_f]Lila[/name_f]! :slight_smile:

I don’t think [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is too much of a stretch, but it doesn’t jump out as one of the obvious nicknames for [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]. …Like I would assume [name_f]Lila[/name_f] was a nickname for [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilian[/name_f]. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is still very cute, and I love [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]!

To me, [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is a full name on its own. It seems silly to use [name_f]Lila[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] (personally) I think [name_f]Lia[/name_f] would make more sense.

But to answer your question, [name_f]Lila[/name_f] would work as a nn if that’s what you end up calling her.

I think it’s too much of a stretch. There’s no “[name_u]Lyle[/name_u]” sound in [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] to make it intuitive. Plus, to me [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is a name on its own.

I would choose the given name that you are going to call her. I love [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] but then I would call her that. If you are going to call her [name_f]Lila[/name_f] (which is also lovely) then that is the name I would give her. Sorry, but I don’t see the point of naming her one name and then calling her another that is a true stand alone name on its own.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], my name is Aureelia and my nickname is just a simple [name_f]Aure[/name_f] :slight_smile:

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] is so pretty! I love [name_f]Lia[/name_f] as a nickname, but [name_f]Lila[/name_f] could work.

Have you considered [name_f]Alia[/name_f] as a nn option?
