Marie

I have nannied an Audrey for 4years!!!
Didn't quite like it to start with as I knew am old lady called Audrey..

But now I couldn't imagine her being called anything else and I love the name........
Robbie
I don't know any little Audreys. It was the 82nd-most popular name in NSW in 2010 according to the Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages.
Lolly58
My son had an Audrey at kindy but I don't think it's that common. I really like the name - classy and timeless.
Audrey Hepburn
I don't know any Audreys. I love the name and it is on my short list
Lyra
I know two Audreys both under the age of 5.

I think it is a lovely name and popularity would not put me off
Sayerley

People often comment on what a pretty name she has original.gif
ourdelight
I only know of one Audrey and she is 6mo.

It's a beautiful name.
struppy04
Thanks for your responses so far.
I just hope it does not become as popular as Ava or Ruby in 10 years time..!
Robbie
Even if it does - just tell people you started the trend wink.gif
librablonde
Love that name wub.gif
MnM
Yes i think its become very popular. i know 3, from playgroups and just in my area.

FWIW i'm not a fan of the name i have say sorry.
Ianthe
I know one Audrey who is 6. I love this name.
vanessa71
Not a fan of the name, but there were 80 born in Victoria last year, making it the 58th most popular name.
bubblebear
I love it!
tres-chic
I think it's a lovely name.

I don't know any.
JoJomummy
love it!!!
i have worked in early childhood for 12 years and i have only had one Audrey in my years! she was a delightful child.
Audrey Hepburn
Even if it does become popular, don't worry. Audrey is such a lovely, timeless name and if you love it, then you should use it.

Names come in cycles - think Emily, Sarah, Anna - all popular names but still lovely names. FWIW I like Ruby too even though it is a popular name.
Bloomer
Oh yes it is very popular here they are about 3 or 4 ..
treeee
I don't know any, but this is one of my alltime favourites. I would have chosen it for DD but DH wasn't a fan..
missfrizzle
I love it..and I have never met another one.
Ciel
I love it.

I know of 2 little girls with that name, (but it is friends of friends -none in my immediate circle)

I love the name Audrey, DH wont let me put it on our list though sad.gif

I don't know any Audrey's in real life original.gif

Before my 20 week scan I was convinced I was having a girl and had named "her" Audrey Rose. I had kept it quiet but once we found out it was a boy I did tell a few people and I got some horrible reactions. Mum basically said that she was glad it was a boy because there was no way she would have called any grandchild of hers by a name like Audrey sad.gif

I love the name!!!
Freddie'sMum
Audrey is beautiful !!

I think I have met one little girl named Audrey thru the girls' daycare.




Speshelle
we know two babies recently named audrey (last 12 months). Its a nice name though
kinz
I love the name Audrey and it will be top of the list if we have another girl.

I know of 1 IRL and she is about 6 but lives interstate so not in my immediate area.
jedimaster
I love Audrey, and I don't know any IRL original.gif.
noname2
I only know one, but I know of two others and have met a few at the local park (DD insists on finding out the name of every other kid at the play ground - a future Baby Names addict for sure). We're in Melbourne, I don't know this is an Audrey hot spot.

My guess is that if popularity really bothers you, you should pick another name. Having said that, I doubt it is in the Ruby/Ava league.
laraq75
I have an Audrey and I always knew that is what i was going to call my little girl. Audrey has only met two other girls that had her name and there is definitely none in her class at preschool. I always get comments about what a beautiful name it is.
Lillip
Haven't really heard this name around much.

I love this name, but I couldn't use it when/if I have a girl as my surname ends with 'ry' and it sounds funny.

I say use it - it's beautiful.
elle-M
Not popular where I live and I LOVE the name. Classic and beautiful.
Kitty-N
Only Audrey I know is my cat. But she is lovely.

I know a lovely little lady (one of my DD's friends :P well really her mum is my friend) whos middle name is Audrey and it is such a pretty name. Works so well with her first name.

But it is also lovely as a first name.
blueandpink
I know 4 Audreys under 5 years of age.
spellfall
Nope don't know any, but this is up there at the top of my list. Love it.
concreteseconds
I named my daughter Audrey and she's the only one I know of. I love classic names and older ladies always comment on how it's a beautiful name and/or they love Audrey Hepburn.
The other comment we get is that it's nice to see someone naming their child a "real" name haha... as opposed to some of these flavour of the month names. laugh.gif
I think I saw it at about #57 in the most popular names of last year in Aus? I've seen it's a lot higher up in popularity in the UK?
Lovely name!
MIL said it was boring when I said I was thinking about the name early in my pregnancy but that's about the only negative feedback we got (to our faces).
4forme
I adore it, I wanted it for ds#2 if he popped out a girl but dh didnt. I now know one but still would have loved it for this baby if a girl but baby's daddy has chosen the girls name.
~THE~MAGICIAN~
I don't know any, and thank goodness for that LOL.

It reeks of old lady, Coronation Street to me.

It goes with Hilda.
