Lovely.

I have know two Audrey s (more recently my yoga teacher) in addition to the Hepburn. All great people , so I'd say go for it.

I love it as it was my Nan's name. DP not so keen though.

Sophronia · 30/04/2017 13:21

Lovely.

HelgaHufflepuff76 · 30/04/2017 13:24

Really like it.

Alisvolatpropiis · 30/04/2017 13:24

I love it!

I considered it when I was pregnant with my daughter but her dad wasn't a fan.

My mum (who is in her early 50's), couldn't really let go of Audrey from Coronation Street but my frame of reference is Audrey Hepburn (and now an absolutely lovely lady I work with). Also said something bizarre about how "an Audrey would never be a brain surgeon" Confused Grin

If I ever have another daughter, it would be in the running again.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 30/04/2017 13:25

Love it.

BeeMyBaby · 30/04/2017 13:25

Great name!

NiceCuppaTeaAndASitDown · 30/04/2017 13:25

Adore it! It would be my top choice but my surname is Roberts so I'm not sure it's a good combination Sad

StealthPolarBear · 30/04/2017 13:26

Dd has it as a middle name. I think it will come back into fashin eventually but at the moment it's lovely yet uncommon imo.

MitzyLeFrouf · 30/04/2017 13:27

I like it. It's certainly better than this trend for calling girls Aubrey.

WowserBowser · 30/04/2017 23:06

One of my favourites. Considered it for DD.

DramaAlpaca · 30/04/2017 23:07

What Mitzy said ^^

Audrey is lovely.

StealthPolarBear · 30/04/2017 23:14

Just to mention if yo ever watched 24, it may just be him or t may be an accent but kiefer sutherland says Oddery

sexymuthafunker · 30/04/2017 23:16

Sorry no.

Floralnomad · 30/04/2017 23:19

I really don't like it at all , very drab and dowdy .

Buntysoven · 01/05/2017 01:20

Sorry to be a downer but I totally agree with Floral.

NewTownVelocity · 01/05/2017 01:25

It's beautiful. Classy and elegant and timeless. Wish I'd thought of it for DD.

Plunkette · 01/05/2017 01:32

We're currently living in the US and in our area it's actually quite common for little girls.

I like it, pretty but strong (which is also its meaning).

SuperBeagle · 01/05/2017 01:46

I like it, but it's getting very popular here in Australia. I know a couple of little Audreys.

I don't like the nicknames though: Aud or Auds. Not very nice.

AudreyBradshaw · 03/05/2017 15:06

Excellent name Grin (I know a little Audrey who's nn is Dre )

KoalaDownUnder · 03/05/2017 15:09

I find it a bit...dreary.

It's nice. It's not my cup of team but there's nothing wrong with it. A perfectly fine name imo.

Ontopofthesunset · 03/05/2017 18:24

I know a lovely woman called Audrey who goes by Aud. I just think it sounds like dreary and looks like grey - it's the 'dr' in the middle because I like Aubrey (for a boy).
