for a girl or a boy?

Not that it matters. I don't like it.

Yes... you're probably thinking Hepburn... but it immediately conjures up Roberts (from Corrie) for me...

Hmmm...on the one hand it conjures up a chainsmoking old dear with bleached barnet, on the other hand the divine Audrey Horne from Twin Peaks. I think it could well be a due a comeback; Audrey Tatou is tipping it towards Horne territory

puts me in mind of:

audrey II, the carnivorous plant in 'little shop of horrors'.

and my former, incessantly nosey, neighbour, who was about 77 years old, and smelt of cheese.

I love it. Want it for DD2 but keep getting very negative reactions. MiL had nightmares about it when we told her it was on the list.

It's my nazi Nans name, who's very much a 'woman of her generation'. I actually quite like it, although I can't imagine using it myself

Disclaimer: I love my Nan very much, but she has 'views' that are better left undiscussed, so we generally ply her with alcohol and talk of happier things

My lovely auntie's name. It's great for shortening - Aud, Audie.

Go for it!

Hi Meglet - I like it, although not sure I'd use it. I remember hearing a Mum shouting it in a play park - Audrey was about 4, and it seemed a slightly odd name for a little one. However, think its a million times better than Grace, Emily etc. And Audrey Horne is my all time style icon! (Twin Peaks)

I love Audrey. Gorgeous name, and agree with others - the stunning Audrey Horne springs straight to mind for me!

Love it, I think it is due a comeback it's my nan's name and wanted to call DD it but DH hated it so I think people are pretty split on it.

Called her Grace instead

I know a couple of Audrey's. Always shortened to Aud which is dire.
