I used to love love love it and have really gone off it. Not sure why. My daughter has a name which creates similar reactions. She's only 6 months and I question if I love it some days, but I obviously love her and she's growing into it.

I think I'm swayed too easily by others, but there will always be people who don't like names you pick I guess.

Love it

Teardropexplodes · 03/05/2017 20:33

I'm not feeling the love for it. I had a great aunt called Audrey, and I loved her, but it's still too old lady ish for a child IMO.

Beautiful name and always makes me think of Audrey Horn from Twin Peaks. Beautiful woman.

Honeyandfizz · 03/05/2017 20:29

Awful. Really awful!

AngelicaSchuylerChurch · 03/05/2017 20:29

I love it. I'd avoid if I were in the north west, however - 'aud-reh' is still a little too reminiscent of Corrie.

SpeckledyHen · 03/05/2017 18:49

I love it . It was my beloved mum's name .

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 03/05/2017 18:34

I really like it, and the Audrey I know is an exceedingly awesome 11 year old. Am currently trying to persuade DS1 to marry her when they grow up Grin

LockedOutOfMN · 03/05/2017 18:29

I love that name! Reminds me of beautiful Audrey Tatou. Also Hepburn. And, perhaps weirdly, Audrey and Audrey 2 from Little Shop Of Horrors.

Ontopofthesunset · 03/05/2017 18:24

I know a lovely woman called Audrey who goes by Aud. I just think it sounds like dreary and looks like grey - it's the 'dr' in the middle because I like Aubrey (for a boy).

QuietNameChange · 03/05/2017 18:23

It's nice. It's not my cup of team but there's nothing wrong with it. A perfectly fine name imo.

I find it a bit...dreary.

AudreyBradshaw · 03/05/2017 15:06

Excellent name Grin (I know a little Audrey who's nn is Dre )

SuperBeagle · 01/05/2017 01:46

I like it, but it's getting very popular here in Australia. I know a couple of little Audreys.

I don't like the nicknames though: Aud or Auds. Not very nice.

Plunkette · 01/05/2017 01:32

We're currently living in the US and in our area it's actually quite common for little girls.

I like it, pretty but strong (which is also its meaning).

NewTownVelocity · 01/05/2017 01:25

It's beautiful. Classy and elegant and timeless. Wish I'd thought of it for DD.

Buntysoven · 01/05/2017 01:20

Sorry to be a downer but I totally agree with Floral.

Floralnomad · 30/04/2017 23:19

I really don't like it at all , very drab and dowdy .

sexymuthafunker · 30/04/2017 23:16

Sorry no.

StealthPolarBear · 30/04/2017 23:14

Just to mention if yo ever watched 24, it may just be him or t may be an accent but kiefer sutherland says Oddery

DramaAlpaca · 30/04/2017 23:07

What Mitzy said ^^

Audrey is lovely.

WowserBowser · 30/04/2017 23:06

One of my favourites. Considered it for DD.
