I like the name for my child as a tribute to my own mother, Aurielia, but people have told me that it's a hard name for kids to pronounce. I dunno, I really like it, and the nickname "Rorie." It's an uncommon name for black females, too. Any thoughts?

My daughter's name is Aurora, so I'm a bit partial to it myself. She does go by the nickname Rori sometimes. I can tell you from personal experience that some young children did have a hard time pronouncing her name correctly, but that is no different than any other name with R's in them.
At first my daughter didn't really like her name because it was different, but now (she's 13) she loves the fact that everyone thinks her name is beautiful and appreciates having a name that she doesn't have to share with other girls in her class.
I personally like uncommon names, and have only met one other person, who happens to be a black female, with that name, though she spells it Aurore.(same pronunciation though)
Anyway, I think you should do what makes you happy and paying tribute to your mother is a wonderful gesture. It will make your daughter's name that much more special.

the first thing that came to my mind was the Disney movie, Sleeping Beauty! What a beautiful name, and I LOVE LOVE Rorie. My daughter's name is very difficult to pronounce, but that's why we have nicknames. When she's older she can choose which she likes better. And what a sweet tribute to your mom. Love it, wish I'd thought of it!

Only heard it used in two movies with Shirley McLaine. Aurora is a lot easier than Auriella and I like both. Kids find most all names hard to pronounce and it takes them til 5 or 6 to develop hearing and speaking enough to begin to get everything right. That is part of the reason kids are so cute. So don't worry about that. That is why kids are on TV saying the darndest things. They need both hearing and speech to develop before getting it right.

It is very cute and not hard at all to pronounce. At least I dont have a problem with it. I also like Rorie as a nickname. Very good.

As a speech therapist, I see it as a very difficult name for a child to pronounce. Otherwise, I think it's beautiful. Just be careful if speech problems run in your family - it's been my experience that kids who have trouble with the "r" sound have it somewhere in their names, and can't say their own names! Who cares if other people can pronounce it. They'll just have to learn. As a black woman with a difficult to pronounce but non-ethnic name, I applaud you for choosing a name that's different but won't be a a barrier for your daughter later in life. She will probably grow to be very proud of her name, especially when she learns what it means. Congratulations!

I don't think it is hard to pronounce or spell, either. And I think Rorie is a cute nickname. Aurielia is harder to say and spell, so I think you were right in changing it to suit your daughter, but still tributing your mother. Congrats!!

I like the name Aurora but I think it is very hard to pronounce. It is hard for adults and nearly impossible for small children!
Just my opinion though! SD
