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.

This looks a bit like Angular 1.3 and 2.0 to me - DI, binding and repeats look like ng-model and ng-repeat.. I'm curious to see more when the full docs are out though. No mention of isomorphism or a virtual DOM, seems to be a bit behind the zeitgeist.

My wife is named Julia.

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

That's how you do a client-side framework or any framework for that matter, forward thinking with backwards compatibility and no custom nonsense tying it to a specific language (AtScript).

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.

I don't know why you missed it, but it mentions both isomorphism (code that can be run client side or server side) and the virtual DOM (web components, etc...).
