Audrey

[Bagabee]

Love it - what do others think? Too try hard / great aunt-like??

Alternative is Beatrice.

Audrey Roberts/Little shop of horrors for me....

FEED ME NOW

Sorry forgot the [hgrin] for the last bit.

Just no

I know a 7-year-old Audrey - was my friend ahead of the times?

The three associations Audrey had for me before that were Hepburn, Little Shop of Horrors, and my old English teacher. Never heard of Audrey Roberts.

Think it's probably ripe for revival.

Or maybe really really behind exexpat?

Audrey is lovely, elegant and sophisticated.

No, it really isn't. It's ugly and old fashioned.

I am more sure than ever that Audrey is on the rise. [hsmile]

Nooooooooo

I like it, but only when pronounced a bit French, like O-drey instead or Or-drey and I think unfortunately most people would pronounce it Or-drey and think you were pretentious for wanting O-drey - as I may be ...

I prefer Audrey to Beatrice, but it does have a bit of an 'awful' sound to it, not the prettiest sounding name. Awful Audrey, oh dear.

Awful and Dreary!

(But not as dreary as Beatrice )

It's lovely and not as common as Beatrice. Whatever is posted here about it being old fashioned will be totally irrelevant as she grows. I never thought anyone would call their baby Mabel (the joke old lady name when I was a kid) but sure enough, Mabel is growing in popularity where I live.. Anyway Audrey is far more elegant than Mabel. And there are probably daft tv/media/literary comparisons to make of any name. Go for it!

Just noticed this thread. I've been thinking of Audrey myself, Bagabee! Think its a lovely name, very elegant. I think of Audrey Hepburn, Audrey Tatou and Audrey from twin peaks. Love it!

Those who thinks it ugly are wrong, wrong wrong!

Not so keen on Beatrice though.
