Aow-ray-lee-uss. I was called Aurelia for a while by my Latin teacher, and it was pronounced Aow-ray-lee-uh.

I've never heard Aurelia or Aurelius pronounced that way. In movies, and the Aurelia I know, it's pronounced or-ell-ee-uh/ss.
Myosotis Says:
I'd say Or-RAY-lee-us, but then I also say Or-RAY-lee-uh for Aurelia. I think there are quite a few possibilities.
