This is my real name, and I've never really liked it because a lot of people have trouble with pronouncing it. (I get "Andrea," "Audrey," and a whole bunch of other names, which becomes annoying.) Plus, there aren't a lot of nicknames apart from Aud (which sounds like "odd" and is not very encouraging.) Not one of my favourite names.
This is a pretty name. I think it's much nicer than Audrey and not nearly as trendy or popular. Audra has a lovely, slightly Southern flair (I mean US Southern) to me for some reason.

For some reason I dislike this name, while I do like Audrey. Does anyone know how the Lithuanian version is pronounced?

My name is Audra. When I was little I hated it because I could never find my name on the little souvineer thingies that you would get in gift shops. It drove me nuts! Now I love it! I think it's great that I have a name that isn't as popular and used. I think it would be annoying if there were 7 other Audra's in my school! Audra is a beautiful name, it "flows" in a nice way and I really love it! It is a little irritating though when my mom calls me "Aud". There aren't many nicknames for Audra. =)
My best friend's name is Audra, and I love the name. I think it is a beautiful name and not many people have it. I would love it if my name were Audra.
The Big Valley is an American television Western which ran on ABC from September 15, 1965 to May 19, 1969. Linda Evans played the role of 'Audra Barkley'. She was young and beautiful then. Whenever I hear this name, I remember this t.v. show and that character.
This is my name, and I love it :) I've had teachers mispronounce it, but I never minded. One teacher called me "Aud," but I thought it was cute. My parents named me after the character Audra from the western TV show Big Valley. I get compliments on my name a LOT, I don't think you get that very often with other names.
