Another girls shortlist, with heavy emphasis on Audrey

[Tortoiseonthehalfshell]

Right, so, Audrey? We don't have Coronation Street over in Australia, so my associations are Hepburn and Tatou. And it's not as common here as in the US, but not nearly as unusual as DD1. Are there a lot of little English Audreys running about?

Surname 4 syllable, starts with A. DD1 Edith Clare.

This is current shortlist. I can't have Constance as a first name otherwise it'd be frontrunner, probably.

Audrey Constance
Audrey Isolde
Audrey Helena
Felicity Isolde
Isolde Constance

Audrey is pretty if you listen to it with fresh ears IYSWIM, which is happening a lot now with that sort of name. I would never have liked Edith before but I do now.

I love Audrey Helena. I think it scans better when the two names have different syllables. Audrey Constance sounds too abrupt, although Constance is a very pretty name.

If my dad had been a girl he would have been called Audrey Winifred. Too soon for Winifred?

The two Audreys I know are in their seventies and are self-sufficient, cultured women living in London.
I don't think many of the 'soap' names are even a reflection of reality, are they?
Someone in the script department decides that they like/dislike the name and gives it to a character. Nick and David (are they still in it?) for example, are names of our coaliton government leaders and quite classless. I think Nick may be slightly less favoured by the working classes than Dave but that's a different thread.

Isn't the Kennedys dog in Neighbours called Audrey? Shame, because I think it really is a beautiful name.

makes me think of little shop of horrors, but that's a GOOD thing, at least there'll be a ready made song to sing to her!

Audrey is just the classiest name ever... Totally love it
