I just think [name]Aurelie[/name] Glass sounds lovely!

[name]Love[/name], love, love [name]Aurelie[/name] and I think it goes so well with [name]Malin[/name]! I can just see [name]Malin[/name] and [name]Aurelie[/name] as sisters, I think that would be just charming. :slight_smile: I think the nn [name]Ari[/name] makes it more accessible, too.

I think cousin [name]Amelie[/name] rules our [name]Aurelie[/name], unfortunately. [name]Cadence[/name] is sprightly and modern, not sure it fits, and Lakyn is very tryndee- which I only point out since your other name choices seem to come from a decidedly different style family. I think [name]Romilly[/name] and [name]Bronwen[/name] are winners!

Aww, how did I miss the blurb about cousin [name]Amelie[/name]? That is unfortunate. [name]Do[/name] you like [name]Aurelia[/name]? Frankly, I love it just as much! My second choice would be [name]Romilly[/name] :slight_smile:

I like [name]Aurelia[/name] but I don’t [name]LOVE[/name] it - for some reason, considering I like girly names, I don’t love names ending in a!
[name]Amelie[/name] actually goes by [name]Millie[/name] far more frequently than her given name, so [name]Aurelie[/name] could still work. I just wonder if it clashes more with MY name - as it sort of rhymes with [name]Hayley[/name]?!

The name Lakyn actually confuses me - when I look it up on here no results come up, but I actually found it FIFTEEN years ago in a book of baby names (Which I still have!) where its listed as a Welsh name! So considering its been on my radar for so long, I don’t consider it trendy :slight_smile:

I agree–my best friend’s name was [name]Amelie[/name] (nn [name]Millie[/name]), and she had a cousin named [name]Aurelie[/name], so it seems perfectly normal to me. :slight_smile: Besides, I’ve heard that in French, [name]Amelie[/name] is ah-MILL-ee and [name]Aurelie[/name] is oh-[name]RAY[/name]-lee, so they really don’t sound that similar to me. [name]Hayley[/name] and [name]Aurelie[/name] are a lot closer, but I still think it could work.

Hmm. Lakyn interests me, I’ve seen it around, so I don’t know why it’s not listed on Nameberry. I have to say I like [name]Larkin[/name]/Larkyn (or just [name]Lark[/name]) more, though. But if you want people not to see it as very trendy, maybe consider [name]Laken[/name]? I think that looks more classic and straightforward…

I voted for [name]Romilly[/name], thinking [name]Amelie[/name] and [name]Aurelie[/name] would be a little close- but if [name]Amelie[/name] goes by [name]Millie[/name] then I’ll switch my vote to [name]Bronwen[/name]!
In any case, [name]Bronwen[/name], [name]Romilly[/name] (just call her [name]Romy[/name]?), and [name]Aurelie[/name] are classics and you can’t really go wrong.

On thing about Lakyn- the letter k isn’t used in Welsh, I don’t think? There are a LOT of name books out there that are really, annnoyingly, rubbish at origins :S

I think [name]Bronwen[/name] is the best choice with your surname. It doesn’t compete with any cousin’s name ([name]Aurelie[/name]), it doesn’t have an “l” in it which doesn’t flow well with Glass ([name]Romilly[/name]), it doesn’t have an “s” sound that clashes with Glass ([name]Cadence[/name]) and it’s not trendy at all (Lakyn).

Yep, thats how we pronounce [name]Amelie[/name] and its how we would pronounce [name]Aurelie[/name] too - so they don’t sound too close to me. I was thinking of [name]Larkin[/name] today actually - it is pretty :slight_smile: Theres just something about Lakyn though - you know how you notice a name and it just sticks with you for years?! Thats just one of those names for me :slight_smile: I’m still loving [name]Malin[/name] too though - how I wish I was having twins lol.

Yeah I think it was actually in as [name]Laken[/name] with the Y as an alternate spelling. Same as [name]Bronwen[/name]. I [name]LOVE[/name] welsh names but for some reason the traditional “wen” spelling doesn’t appeal to me, I think because I used to holiday in [name]Wales[/name] a lot and most of the men I knew there had names ending that way so it seems masculine to me - a Y seems to make it appear more feminine.

I love the idea of [name]Romilly[/name] with nn [name]Romy[/name] :slight_smile:
