I think they sound fine together, though I prefer Leslie on a boy. My mother named me after an actress (mostly cause it was the first thing to come to mind, she didn't have a girl named planned). I found it to lack any meaning, so I now use a form of my middle name (it was Elizabeth, I go by the original Elisheva)If these people are important to you, and you wish the child to emulate them, then it can work well, but being named after someone famous has its own problems which is why I try to avoid it.

I wouldn't use it because I'd want my kids to have names all their own.

I'd prefer Audrey and Deanna. I think Audrey Jean and Deanna Lesley sounds better. On a side note: My mum loves Deanna Durbin and I have to admit that I was brought up on some of her movies. Our fave is "Something In The Wind".

I like it! I especially like how you got the names (Twiggy is my hero!)

I LOVE the idea... it's sooo cute. Audrey is getting more and more popular this year!

Audrey Jean - I love Audrey, and though Jean isn't my style (and seems rather filler as a MN imo), the combo is fairly nice.Lesley Dee - I don't care for Lesley, not matter how it's spelled (though I prefer Leslie); Dee is dnmsaa (nicknamey), and the combo seems repetitive in sound with the "ee" ending on both names.

alternatively....Audrey Elenor & Marilyn Jaqulene?

Audrey Elenor - love Audrey. Elenor doesn't appeal to me, since it seems dated (and I think the spelling Eleanor is prettier). The combo is nice, though I'd prefer Audrey Elisabeth/Elizabeth or Audrey Ella.Marilyn Jaqulene - Marilyn seems dated to me, too (I think Leslie is nicer). I'm assuming that Jaqulene is pronounced "jack leen", rather than "jack lynn". I, personally, prefer the second pronunciation, but spelled Jaclyn (a favorite of mine, though Jacqueline and Jacquelyn are also nice).If I could mix-match (and variate) the combos you've given, I'd go with Audrey Eleanor & Jaclyn Leslie.
