This was my number one favorite name from November til around March. Now Bianca is my number one for right now. It's still a very pretty name. Love it!

I find it flabby, drab and at best middle-aged. I just do not see what people see in it. One pretty actress isn't enough!

Love it, a fave of mine. It's elegant, timeless and feminine and makes me think of Audrey Hepburn, which isn't a bad thing.

I love Audrey, that is all. Haha. I don't know why but it's just a name I've always found attractive and it ages well.

I have an appreciation of Audrey although it has never been a fave of mine. That doesn't stop me from creating Audrey combos, though: Audrey Sophia, Audrey Caroline, Audrey Madeleine.

I like it. It looks a little clunky, maybe thanks to Aubrey, but the sound of it is so earthy and pretty. It's like the antifrilly classic, unpretentious but not homely.

It's pretty. The only thing that bothers me is that it is so close to Aubrey. I like Aubrey but as it is also common the two might get confused quite a bit.

I don't like it. Sorry Danno! It has a dreary sound to me. I love Aubrey - the 'br' sound is somehow much brighter - but not on a female

I absolutely despise it. Along with Aubrey and all its spelling variations, and Autumn. Because the initial "aawwww" sound is repulsive to me. It makes me feel mildly nauseated every time I have to say it or hear it. Which wasn't fun when I worked for a while with an Aubrey, and she and I had mutual friends, so I used to hear her name a lot.

I quite like Audrey. Not enough to use it myself. But, It reminds me of Old Hollywood & Audrey Hepburn. Which is a good thing.

Audrey happens to be my actual name (: As a young child I used to not care for it, partially since I hated all the nickname options and I still do with the exception of the very witty, "Audzilla"
Now as I became older, I have grown to love my name. I love how it is relevant (well known) but isn't overused. Not a name you encounter often either on a real or fictional person. Or whatever else. I'm proud to have this name.

That's great! I went through a brief period of my life when I was younger where I disliked my name as well because there were no nickname options (my name is Autumn). As I grew up, the nickname my parents gave me (Autie) seemed too childish. But now I really enjoy my name too! Interesting how time works I suppose.

Audrey is such a pretty name!

Haha I guess so! Autie is cute. Truth be told, I used to be insanely jealous of my younger sisters name since her name had a plethora of nn options. Though same with my older sister. They were constantly being referred to as "Em, Emy" and "Kris\Krissy" (Thwir names being Emily & Kristina) And there was me with just "Audrey" a nickname used once in a very blue moon. But I don't mind that now since, mentioned before, I am very satisfied with my name.
