AUDREY - Hepburn or Corrie?

[DomesticG0ddess]

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?

[BessieBoots]

Little Shop of Horrors. She's lovely

[Disenchanted5]

I like it and don't watch corrie,

how about Aubrey for something a bit different?

[lifeas3plus1]

I automatically think Audrey Hepburn but then I'm not a soap watcher and I love her movies.

It's a lovely name.

[DomesticG0ddess]

Isn't Aubrey a boy's name?

[Batteryhuman]

Little Shop of Horrors

[Disenchanted5]

Unisex, though apparantly most common to girls these days.

I like unisex names though, my daughters called Rorie.

[Fourleaf]

I think of Corrie, sorry!

[Disenchanted5]

Her off corrie will be probably be gone by the time your DD starts school though?! Sad but something to consider!

[nannynobnobs]

Definitely Little Shop of Horrors, but this is a good thing

[sleepyhead3]

Lovely! I definitely think of Hepburn. It is popular in The States at the moment.

[TinyPawz]

I think of my crazy aunt! She is the live and soul of any party and always a shoulder to cry on when needed.

Lovely name association for me. (Was a name I considered for my own DD too)

[NonnoMum]

We had a French student stay with us a few years ago with that name. She was intelligent and lovely and languid. Have loved that name since.

[aJumpedUpPantryBoy]

Hepburn - and a lovely older lady I know who is vibrant, funny and intelligent.
I think it is a beautiful name

[ByThePowerOfGreyskull]

Hepburn everytime

[fairybubbles]

My first thought was how lovely. It's a very nice name.

[mathanxiety]

Hepburn to me. I think 50s chic -- I love the name.

[ilovepiccolina]

Hepburn.

I'm a Corrie fan but didn't make the connection, so that must be good!

[5DollarShake]

Definitely time for a revival.

Audrey Tautou is beautiful, too.

[juneybean]

Neither, I actually adore it!

[ellesabe]

My Grandma is called Audrey and I love it!

[BettyButterknife]

Lovely. Was on my shortlist, but this bump is a boy alas.

I don't watch Corrie so my only associations are Audreys Hepburn and Tatou - both lovely.

[Shaz10]

I thought Little Shop of Horrors. I love that film! Also love the name.

[PlumSykes]

I love it, but friend was reduced to tears last month the day after her DD was born, by her MIL telling her that Audrey is the name for a nasty old battleaxe of a woman. She was too upset to use the name, and has gone for something equally pretty.

I still think it's lovely though!

[preggersplayspop]

I think of Audrey Tatou also, who is very beautiful. A friend of a friend is called Audrey and whenever she is referred to I have never thought of Corrie.
