I actually think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is definitely a possible nickname for [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], but would probably only be used by you and your immediate family. It has the right sounds for it to work. I’ve heard much more bizarre nicknames be used for names, honestly. [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] would also be a pretty combo!

I adore [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] (and [name_f]Lily[/name_f]). Here are my favorite nicknames for [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]:

[name_f]Lia[/name_f] (similar to [name_f]Lily[/name_f], very easy to pull this one off)
[name_u]Rae[/name_u]/[name_u]Ray[/name_u] (I pronounce the name oh-[name_u]RAE[/name_u]-lee-uh, so this nickname indicates how it ought to be pronounced, which I like. Also the name means “golden” so [name_u]Ray[/name_u] could be like “a ray of sunshine”!)
[name_u]Ari[/name_u] (a little less common but cute I think, and a little more gender neutral)
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] (a little harder to pull off since [name_f]Aria[/name_f] is a name on its own, but I think it could work)
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] (if you pronounce it aw-RELL-ee-uh this could work)

I think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is a lovely nn for [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f].

7

I find [name_f]Lily[/name_f] to be a bit of a stretch, but you might be able to pull it off. I love the name [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], so I have thought about this. I suspect I would end up informally defaulting to Relie, but some other possibilities might be:

[name_f]Aura[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lia[/name_f]

I think they’re too different, sorry!
