My wife's name is Aurelia and its really weird to see a web framework named this. Its like naming a framework: "Thomas". Example: Me: What tools/framework did you use to build the app? You: Aurelia. Me: Oh cool, I used Thomas. You: Yeah, I thought about using Thomas, but stuck with Aurelia because it offered better features.

My wife is named Julia. . . . And my brother is named Lisp, so it gets weird. :).

Well, as another example, Mercedes was a feminine given name originally. The company was named after the founder's daughter. Now it is associated almost solely with automobiles, at least in anglophone world.

One ex-colleague of mine is named Aurelia and I got the same reaction.

We make these jokes with the documentation for the Julia language. "The easiest way to learn and experiment with Julia is by starting an interactive session".
