Aurelian or Aurelio?

Which do you like more Aurelian Or Aurelio? Possible middle name Grey or Ignatius. Trying to narrow down the boys list since there are way too many names.

I prefer [name]Aurelio[/name], because of a great character in [name]Louis[/name] de Berniere’s Latin American trilogy.

[name]Aurelian[/name] for sure!

Is [name]Aurelien[/name] an opportunity? I think that e does such a huge difference, but that might just be me. [name]Aurelien[/name] is such a gorgeous name.

If it’s only between [name]Aurelian[/name] and [name]Aurelio[/name], my vote would go to [name]Aurelian[/name].

I didn’t know you could spell it [name]Aurelien[/name] instead of [name]Aurelian[/name]. He just vetoed [name]Aurelian[/name] since I actually got him to speak names for more than 5 seconds.

[name]Aurelio[/name] [name]Aurelio[/name] [name]Aurelio[/name]!

If you are an English speaker, [name]Aurelian[/name].

[name]Aurelio[/name] would get mispronounced all the time (most people would read the middle “-re-” as “ree” or “ray”) and I’m pretty sure the name sounds awfully dated in most Latin (Hispanic/Portuguese/Italian) cultures.

[name]Aurelian[/name]! Definitely

I vote [name]Aurelian[/name]/[name]Aurelien[/name].

[name]Aurelian[/name] for sure! It has a nice strong ending.

[name]Aurelian[/name] has the sound alien in it, just wanted to point that out! However I love both. [name]Aurelius[/name] is similar too!

I like [name]Aurelio[/name] and [name]Aurelius[/name]. Same as bostonsavvy, I hear “[name]Aurelian[/name] the alien”!

I much prefer [name]Aurelian[/name]. I pronounce it au-REEL-ian, so it doesn’t sound like alien to me. And I really love it with the middle name [name]Grey[/name]. :slight_smile:

I think [name]Aurelio[/name] sounds more like a name. [name]Aurelian[/name] sounds like an adjective describing a race or nation of people - the Aurelians. It also sounds like “our alien.”

He likes [name]Aurelio[/name] [name]Grey[/name] and I kind of like [name]Aurelien[/name]/[name]Aurelian[/name] [name]Grey[/name] but I have thought of the alien part of it which bothers me. And he has even said he dislikes [name]Aurelian[/name]/[name]Aurelien[/name] because of the ending sound. I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Aurelius[/name] but our surname starts with an SCH making a Shh sound and has the beginning sound like Shamrock. So I feel trying to transition from first to last gets choppy. [name]Aurelius[/name] Shamrock (not really our last name but close enough)?
