I pronounce it oh-REH-lee-ə or aw-REH-lee-ə. I quite like [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Aura[/name_f].
I went with aw-REH-lee-ə as it’s the closest, but it’s actually somewhere between that and aw-REHL-yah for me, if you want to get very technical.
Aurélia, however, I would say as aw-RAY-lee-ə / aw-RAY-lyah.
I don’t know where I first heard it, but Aw/or-[name_u]RAY[/name_u]-lee-a has always been how I say it. I’m really starting to like it (with that pronunciation), and I also love [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Aura[/name_f].
