Opinions on the name Audrey?

I like it, I think!

Would love your opinion!

Was thinking Audrey Juliette.

I've no idea if I'm having a boy or girl though!

I would have thought that Audrey would be way more popular with the never ending obsession with Audrey Hepburn.

missmargot · 21/06/2015 20:18

I really like it, it was on my list of names for a girl when I was pregnant with DS. I prefer the spelling Juliet though.

littlejohnnydory · 21/06/2015 20:11

Juliette otoh is lovely!

littlejohnnydory · 21/06/2015 20:11

I personally think Audrey is horrible and my first thought is Coronation Street too. It also reminds me of 'ordinary'! But I had a friend who loves this name and when our group of friends were discussing it, the others associated it with elegance a la Audrey Hepburn.

I have a Juliette. She's nearly 11 now and still love the name, but also love that it's not a popular name (so don't use it!!!) just kidding x

AlmaMartyr · 21/06/2015 18:01

I think it's pretty, I know of a very cute baby called Audrey. Didn't know about the Coronation Street thing but would think of Audrey Hepburn and Audrey Tautou.

Trooperslane · 21/06/2015 17:58

Audrey is awesome.

Aubrey not so much.

Archer26 · 21/06/2015 17:54

I think it's lovely.

susurration · 21/06/2015 17:39

I adore the name Audrey. I like all names with the Au sound really.

drudgetrudy · 21/06/2015 17:18

Traaaaalalalalalaaaa-sorry that was my first reaction-can't help thinking of Corrie. Also not as appealing as some other Granny names.
Like Juliette though.

Sophronia · 21/06/2015 14:54

It makes me think of Coronation Street too. I'm not keen.

Tia2005 · 21/06/2015 14:08

Very very next nice x

RedToothBrush · 21/06/2015 14:07

Granny chic.
Audrey Hepburn.

Its marmite as a result. People will either love or hate. With not much middle ground.

I suspect Juliette is likely to shoot up in popularity in the next 5 years or so though

Audrey Roberts, if you are in UK

No, think it's awful. Drippy.

IsItStupid · 21/06/2015 01:18

I really like it.

Wenglish · 21/06/2015 01:13

Love it!

YonicScrewdriver · 21/06/2015 00:51

I like it.

Audrey Hepburn? Fusty, frumpy and whiney? Really?

Quasilulu · 21/06/2015 00:33

Sorry but yuk. Fusty frumpy and whiney. Juliet is gorgeous though. Can you swap them? Flows better that way too.

ScarlettDarling · 20/06/2015 22:00

Gosh, I'm sorry but I think it's awful, a real nana name.

ThePortlyPinUp · 20/06/2015 21:51

My friend is called Audrey and hates it, it wouldn't be my choice of name but if you love it what does it matter what others think.

hawkmcqueen · 20/06/2015 21:47

I am surprised everyone is saying they like it tbh! I doubt that would be the majority vote in RL. My piano teacher was an Audrey, that sums it up really. I hated piano. I am not into granny chic names and just think yuk. Strong opinion I know!

Rhubarbgarden · 20/06/2015 21:03

I love it, but then I have an Audrey. She's the only one in her school. We've only ever met one other; she was at a baby group when dd was six months.

broadbeanstew · 20/06/2015 19:36

I was going to say I love it and I think it's due a comeback, but from some of these posts it looks like the comeback has already started! I've worked in primary schools for years and have never come across an Audrey though.
