[Opinions] Re: Aurenne?
in reply to a message by Malk
Where did you find this name? Is it supposed to be French? Off the bat, I'd pronounce it the French way, so something like "o-RENN" (sorry, I'm terrible at describing pronunciations).
By the way, I can see where the "golden" part is derived from, I'm not really sold on the "hair" part, though. So I'd be really interested in its etymology. :)

Ditto on the etymology. To me it just looks like "golden" (aur-) with a French feminine ending.

http://www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/AurenneI'm not sure about it either, it looks French to me as well. I'm trying to ask a French name nerd if she's heard of it, but no response yet.

INSEE (French birth database) doesn't have any Aurennes. Looks made up to me, but it could be French Canadian? Google says there's a few on facebook - first one is Portuguese.

My French friend suggested French Canadian as well. I would prefer the Portugese prn I think which might be or-enn-eh.
