Opinions on the name Audrey?

I like it, I think!

Would love your opinion!

Was thinking Audrey Juliette.

I've no idea if I'm having a boy or girl though!

Makes me think of Audrey in Coronation Street...

honeyandfizz · 20/06/2015 19:21

Honestly & truthfully I really dislike it - think it's a very ugly name. Dull & boring - sorry.

MehsMum · 20/06/2015 19:29

I used to hate it but it's grown on me over the years - probably helped by the fact that I know a lovely Audrey now.

CrispyFern · 20/06/2015 19:31

I like it. I've never come across one.

broadbeanstew · 20/06/2015 19:36

I was going to say I love it and I think it's due a comeback, but from some of these posts it looks like the comeback has already started! I've worked in primary schools for years and have never come across an Audrey though.

Rhubarbgarden · 20/06/2015 21:03

I love it, but then I have an Audrey. She's the only one in her school. We've only ever met one other; she was at a baby group when dd was six months.

I am surprised everyone is saying they like it tbh! I doubt that would be the majority vote in RL. My piano teacher was an Audrey, that sums it up really. I hated piano. I am not into granny chic names and just think yuk. Strong opinion I know!

ThePortlyPinUp · 20/06/2015 21:51

My friend is called Audrey and hates it, it wouldn't be my choice of name but if you love it what does it matter what others think.

ScarlettDarling · 20/06/2015 22:00

Gosh, I'm sorry but I think it's awful, a real nana name.

Quasilulu · 21/06/2015 00:33

Sorry but yuk. Fusty frumpy and whiney. Juliet is gorgeous though. Can you swap them? Flows better that way too.

YonicScrewdriver · 21/06/2015 00:51

I like it.

Audrey Hepburn? Fusty, frumpy and whiney? Really?

Wenglish · 21/06/2015 01:13

Love it!

IsItStupid · 21/06/2015 01:18

I really like it.

Wileycoyote · 21/06/2015 01:19

No, think it's awful. Drippy.

Opinions on the name Audrey?

Granny chic.
Audrey Hepburn.

Its marmite as a result. People will either love or hate. With not much middle ground.

I suspect Juliette is likely to shoot up in popularity in the next 5 years or so though

Tia2005 · 21/06/2015 14:08

Very very next nice x

Sophronia · 21/06/2015 14:54

It makes me think of Coronation Street too. I'm not keen.

drudgetrudy · 21/06/2015 17:18

Traaaaalalalalalaaaa-sorry that was my first reaction-can't help thinking of Corrie. Also not as appealing as some other Granny names.
Like Juliette though.

susurration · 21/06/2015 17:39

I adore the name Audrey. I like all names with the Au sound really.

Archer26 · 21/06/2015 17:54

I think it's lovely.

Trooperslane · 21/06/2015 17:58

Audrey is awesome.

Aubrey not so much.

AlmaMartyr · 21/06/2015 18:01

I think it's pretty, I know of a very cute baby called Audrey. Didn't know about the Coronation Street thing but would think of Audrey Hepburn and Audrey Tautou.

thatsthewayitgoes · 21/06/2015 18:27

I have a Juliette. She's nearly 11 now and still love the name, but also love that it's not a popular name (so don't use it!!!) just kidding x
