Variations on Audrey

22 replies

Hello all!

I just curious to see if anyone knows of any variation of the name Audrey for a girl. It would potentially be used as a middle name

Many thanks!

I don't think Audrey is too old-fashioned at all - I know of babies called Edith and Desmond and Audrey is much more contemporary-feeling due to the timelessness of Audrey Hepburn. Audrina is nice too but I don't really like Audra, it sounds too much like order.

I know a baby Audrey! I think it's cool, cute, grown up and pretty all in one :)

Firebird83 · 22/03/2021 09:14

Audra or Audrina

I have an Audrey. She loves her name - it isn’t too long, not fussy or twee, and she’s the only one in her school. When they hear her name, people often ask ‘Oh, after Audrey Hepburn?’ which is an association she really likes.

I think Audrey is much nicer than Audra too - and it's starting to become fashionable, along with other early/mid century names - so if you like it go for it.

I think Audrey is much nicer than Audra, tbh. Aubrey is awful for a girl

Audrey is great! Not too vintage at all imo.

PlantPotting · 18/03/2021 09:27

Audrey is no way 'a bit too far'. I don't really like "out there names". I would not put it in that category at all. It's on its way back for sure. I love it. Use it!

If not what about Margaret

ILoveStickers · 18/03/2021 08:59

I know a couple of little kids called Audrey, so it's definitely back in. I'm not into the vintage names thing, but first time I heard it, I though THAT'S AWESOME.

Audra is also nice, though.

Audrey is a great name. Audra is too, but I prefer Audrey. Definitely not Aubrey, which is a boy’s name.

Wow thanks for all the suggestions and love for the name.

We are a very vintage couple (you should see our house 🤣) so our children will always end up with an old fashioned name. I was just concerned that Audrey was a bit too far. I really like the suggestion of Audra

Andrea?

My Sweet Audrina was a book

Audrina
Audrine

Audra and Audriana are pretty but if it's a middle name is be tempted to stick with Audrey.

If you liked the sound for a first I'd say Aubrey

username1724 · 18/03/2021 00:42

My dd mn is Audrey as its a family name, its really grown on me! Love Audriana, also Audrina

waltzingparrot · 17/03/2021 20:32

Audriana

Changeythenamey · 17/03/2021 20:07

Audrey is lovely on its own. Audrea, Drea, Dre, Audra are nice alternatives but I think Audrey is due a massive resurgence.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 17/03/2021 20:04

I love Audrey for a middle name - very retro/vintage cool, reminds me of classic Hollywood (Hepburn) and the cool character on cult Twin Peaks.

There are similar names in Audra, Aubrey and Aude (although these last two have different origins to Audrey), but I'd stick with Audrey!

Whatsyourflava · 17/03/2021 15:29

Aubrey

JamieFraserskneewarmer · 17/03/2021 15:20

I know an Audra and her grandmother was Audrea - it is a family name
