Well... this just so happens to be my name. (: Admittedly I went through a phase of hating it as a child but as I became older, It grew on me. I've learn to embrace it. I wouldn't change it. I admire the fact that it's feminine, classic/timeless and is a known name but isn't overused to an obnoxious extent. (In fiction or in reality) At least from my personal experiences. Also, I like the fact that I don't have to spell it out often. Once I state my name, there it is, already written. Many don't question the spelling.

However, it is annoying when:
1: People associating it as an 'old-ladies'name, which quite honestly never made sense to me. I've known 3 or 4 other Audrey's and trust me, they are FAR from being elderly. Coincidentally, they were all very pleasant and down to earth. (I've yet to encounter someone unpleasant with my name) 2 were classmates who I never hung out with but were nonelesstheless decent individuals (as already mentioned) and 1 who I became good freinds with.

2: People mistaken it for, yes, AuBrey! Ugh. A name I don't care for regardless. Audrey 100% even if it wasn't my own.

3: No decent nicknames (IMO) with the exception of 'Audzilla' :D Of course nicknames aren't everything. I'm just simply stating that I don't care for any of the typical ones for this name.

It is what it is. I still like it.
