Audrey Marie Hill.
It's not too old fashioned is it?

I personally think Audrey is a little old fashioned but then again all the old names are making a come back!

NorbertDentressangle · 26/03/2009 20:39

Not my taste personally but I do know of a 3 year old Audrey so not a completely off the wall choice.

Love love love Audrey, it was on our list. In the end we went with Pearl, which is similarly 'old-fashioned' (in a good way).

Marie sounds quite beautiful I think.

yeah i'm not into the old fashioned names trend really. I just think audrey is quite elegant without being too over the top. marie is because of my mother who died 4 months ago. i'm not sure whether to get rid of the audrey and just call her marie, but then i think its better that she have more of her own identity.

definitely old fashioned, but if you like that kinda name ....

jellybeans · 27/03/2009 20:47

too old fashioned

Funnybunnyyumyum · 28/03/2009 20:44

Audrey is lovely! Go for it. Yes, old fashioned but all those old names are making a comeback.

Supercherry · 29/03/2009 19:25

I know a Marie Hill, she is lovely. Audrey is a nice name too. Not 100% sure Audrey Marie goes together- think it is a little bit of a mouthful.

SoupDragon · 29/03/2009 19:27

Don't like Audrey at all. It sounds very dour.

NorktasticNinja · 29/03/2009 19:29

It's a great name! Don't let people put you off. I love Audrey, it was on our list but DC2 is going to be a boy.

BabyBaby123 · 29/03/2009 19:41

awful

MrsMattie · 29/03/2009 19:42

I like Audrey. Sweet. And I'm not usually a fan of old lady names.

SoupDragon · 29/03/2009 20:34

"Don't let people put you off"

Would be kind of pointless asking for opinions then wouldn't it?

HecatesTwopenceworth · 29/03/2009 20:37

I'm not too keen on it tbh. If you like the sound, is Audra or Audria Marie Hill any better? (I don't much like that either actually

pandavark · 30/03/2009 02:18

thanks for replying to you all. i think the ones who don't like it, especially in britain, are thinking of an old granny like audrey roberts from coronation st, whereas i get a pretty image like audrey hepburn or audrey tautou. i first thought of it because my favourite film character is the delectable audrey horne from twin peaks. i'm really rethinking it now because of all the negative comments though!

I immediately thought of Audrey Hepburn as well. Very pretty name as well as classic.

ZacharyQuack · 30/03/2009 04:42

I like it, Audrey Marie sounds lovely together.

Disclaimer: I'm not in Britain so I'm not getting an old lady vibe at all.

Love it
