Absolutely love it (DS name)

DramaAlpaca · 25/06/2020 21:29

To me it's a very elegant and sophisticated vintage name.

Lazydaisydaydream · 25/06/2020 21:29

Love it! Classic and beautiful.

PaulinePetrovaPosey · 25/06/2020 21:38

I know a very chic French Audrey 👍

newmum332 · 25/06/2020 21:38

I love the name, I think it is lovely.

I do also know a little girl called Audra, which I also like.
It feels a bit more modern sounding than Audrey to me (perhaps because of the popular ‘a’ ending names at the moment)

Sunsetred · 25/06/2020 21:42

I like it. It's sophisticated.

wingingitalltheway · 25/06/2020 21:45

I love it! It was my grandmother’s name and is my DD’s middle name.
I think it’s beautiful - really classic!

WildCherryBlossom · 25/06/2020 21:50

I really like it. It's very different in style to my own DCs names but I think it's lovely. Crisp and fresh. I only know one (in her early teens).

OneForTheRoadThen · 25/06/2020 21:53

I love it. I wanted it for DD but was vetoed.

gotothecooler · 25/06/2020 22:08

Absolutely love it (DS name)

I wound actually have assumed Audrey was a girl?

OP are you having a girl?

I really like it

Bananasplitlady · 25/06/2020 22:17

LOVE!

Bananasplitlady · 25/06/2020 22:18

Pp - I thought DS may be sister.

gotothecooler · 25/06/2020 22:18

Oh - I never thought of that Blush

BuffaloCauliflower · 25/06/2020 22:19

Love it!

Defenestratethecat · 25/06/2020 22:20

Beautiful.

SuperFurryDoggy · 25/06/2020 22:21

Absolutely love it

FawnDrench · 25/06/2020 22:24

It's a fabulous, sassy, sophisticated name - I really like it.

Fudgecakes · 25/06/2020 22:24

Blimey! I'm surprised at the positive votes for Audrey...it's my middle name and I've always hated it! Probably cos I grew up in the 70s and my friends always sniggered at it as it was so old fashioned. I'm really pleased it's feeling the love on here Grin. I know older names have become fashionable...but I never thought Audrey would be remotely popular!!

Harpischord · 25/06/2020 22:29

Gorgeous!

Notajogger · 25/06/2020 22:33

Lovely name!

Whatsyourflava · 25/06/2020 23:01

Love it

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 25/06/2020 23:01

Fabulous. Would absolutely be one of my top choices.

Krazynights34 · 26/06/2020 01:39

Yes my Dsis rather than DS (stupid autocorrect).
Do it!!!

Kokeshi123 · 26/06/2020 01:46

Beautiful name.

SisterAgatha · 26/06/2020 01:49

Not many children will know the film so maybe she will escape teasing etc but if you didn’t know, it’s the main characters name from Little Shop of Horrors. The girl and the killer plant are both called Audrey.

There’s quite a few lines and songs about the name that aren’t that great.

“Audrey 2 isn’t a healthy girl”
“Between me and you neither is Audrey 1”

Sung in suggestive way “How bout that Audrey?”

Audrey herself sings “I’d meet a man and I’d follow him blindly, he’d snap his figures and I’d say sure”

If you know that already and are cool with it, it’s obviously your choice and the name itself is nice, but it’s just the things that could get said and sung to her for the rest of her life.
