Betty or Audrey

[mojojo29]

Hello ladies, advice please. Our surname is Grove and four year old daughter is named Penny. Both my other half and I love old retro names, something not too popular but a bit classic (think 1950's pin up/movie stars) We had Betty as our no.1 choice of a name and even been referring to baby as Betty, but now have been thinking of Audrey (mostly from watching the tv series 24) and have confused ourselves. Lol.

Just wondering which of the two you ladies like best...

Betty Marie Grove
or
Audrey Marie Grove

(its a family tradition to have Marie as a middle name!)

Many thanks!! x

You see, Squoosh Betty for me has ham hock legs, back breasts, and a muscular jaw from chewing gum.

Betsy now... That's cool!

Audrey - beautiful name!

Betsy is a 73 year old woman who wears 7 layers of makeup, a 'youthful' wig and silver tap shoes when popping out to Sainsbury's. She looks like Bette Davis in 'Baby Jane' and hisses to her 54 year old daughter 'don't tell Cedric I'm your mother he thinks I'm 42'.

Baby Jane rocks. Now THAT'S a name. BJ for short.

Brilliant film! Joan Crawford is so creepy though.

How about Audrina?

Now that conjures up pretty blond girls locked in cellars, or is it attics, Virginia Andrews stylie?

Joan Crawford! I know. All that type we felt sorry for her when she...

Other noir names. Barbara, Tippy, Hedy (only the brave) and Ginger.

Audrina makes me think of some American soap diva who dramatically cries 'How could you sleep with Blaine when I was in a coma. Well......I have news for you. His name isn't really Blaine, it's Cadence....yes that's right Cadence Van Burenpoop, and she's your grandmother!'.

Dum, dum dum.................

Yes, not ideal, but I was trying to give Audrey a face lift.

Apparently My Sweet Audrina was the only VC Andrew book without incest!

Now fancy that.

A Virginia Andrews book without incest?? Sacrilege. Sisters boffing brothers was that woman's lifelong obsession.

Audrey is very pretty to me. Betty is not.
