AUDREY - Hepburn or Corrie?

I don't even know if I am having a girl, but I just love this name. However, my mum is a ridiculous soap watcher and I just know what her first comment would be. Which makes me think maybe other people would think of that old woman in Coronation Street (is she still in it, if not then perhaps that would help?).

I haven't come across any Audrey's at all. What do you think?

I also went to school with a girl called Audrey and she was lovely

megonthemoom, I also really like Veronica! But I don't like the nn of Ronnie - with the babies surname it would be v masculine! Infact it is difficult to find names to go with my husbands surname!

Audrey is a very classy name

I like it a lot. Would think of Hepburn, don't follow Corrie.

Audrey also reminds me of Audrey Tautou.

Hepburn! Not Corrie!

I love the name Audrey. I also know an Audra which I also love and would avoid the whole Corrie thing.

Oooh, yes Audra is nice. Someone also mentioned Audrina, what do people think of that?

Audra is a nice name, Audrina a bit fussy.

Corrie.

I like most smell-of-wee chic names. But Audrey - no. It's also the name of one of those men badly dressed up as women (they still have beards) on the bounty ad. the other one is brenda. Audrey is more Brenda than Tatou or Hepburn.

BUT... despite all that, the children wouldn't see it like that. So it's not a terrible name.
