I don’t understand the question and have never heard of the word “unrealis.” We do have a word “unrealistic” though.

I do know “aurora borealis” but I still don’t understand your question. Are you asking about pronunciation or trying to make a joke?

Thank you! I’m trying to make a name of brand) for example, Fructis. There is no such word in english, but it sounds like fruit, and makes association of fruit. Idk how to say) i mean maybe “aurora unrealis” is something between “aurora borealis” and “unrealistic”... like it’s unrealistic aurora) I found it interesting, but idk how it sounds for natives)

Now I understand! A lot of brand names are like that, and I think you did a good job of making a name that does not exist, but does sound similar to other words. 🙂
