Any thoughts on the name Audrey? Considering Audrey Faith for my DD. Would like to hear some opinions please

A nice change to the usual names! Pretty, will age well she as she grows.

DramaAlpaca · 17/09/2020 23:45

Oh, that's a beautiful name.

Treesofwood · 17/09/2020 23:46

I like it. The names go well together.

ShivD · 17/09/2020 23:47

Love it, love it, love it.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 17/09/2020 23:50

Sorry I don't like it as a first name as it sounds so old fashioned & dull like Edna or Enid.
If you are wanting to honour a relative then Faith Audrey sounds & looks good.

LittleTiger007 · 18/09/2020 08:05

It’s ok, old fashioned but maybe due a comeback. Another option is Aubrey

MummaLaw · 18/09/2020 08:38

Thank you all so far. I do love Audrey! DP worrying that it’s too much of an ‘old lady’ name to suit her when younger

LOVE THIS NAME

Audrey will be in a class with Albert, Elsie, Mabel, Edith Martha and so on. Audrey really won't feel like an old lady name to the next generation whatsoever .

Whatsyourflava · 18/09/2020 09:07

Names are very different now. An Audrey would have stood out 20 years ago but not now with all the other popular names I've listed above

pinkpinecone · 18/09/2020 13:36

No keen, I'm associate the name Audrey with the word ordinary. It has a bit of a dull frumpy sound to it in my opinion.

ILoveStickers · 18/09/2020 13:38

I met a five year old Audrey recently and thought - what a great name!

WildCherryBlossom · 18/09/2020 13:39

Audrey is hardly frumpy. Audrey Hepburn!?

I know one teenage Audrey and it suits her very well. Audrey Faith has a good flow to it.

itsallaloadofshite · 18/09/2020 13:44

Everyone has their own personal preference on names so if you like it then go for it.! Personally the name Audrey reminds me of that annoying old lady off coronation street

Spied · 18/09/2020 13:45

Dislike Audrey. A lot.
Faith is lovely.

MikeUniformMike · 18/09/2020 13:48

Audrey Roberts. Aubrey is even worse.
Faith is nice.

MochaTime · 18/09/2020 13:58

I think Audrey is very elegant. I'm surprised it's not more popular given current trends.

Firebird83 · 18/09/2020 14:20

Lovely! I’m also surprised it’s not more popular

MercyBodle · 18/09/2020 14:31

Really lovely!

MummaLaw · 18/09/2020 16:24

Thanks all. I know as this generation grows up there will be so many of these old fashioned names around them, it probably wouldn’t be as out there as we are thinking
