HelpSabrina, Audrey and Holly
I'm sure many can see the theme of this post:-)
A rerun of the movie Sabrina was on TV today and it got me thinking about how much I love the name Sabrina and how I discovered it for the first time in this movie.
And from there I moved to Audrey (the actress was my first contact with the name) and then on to Holly (from Breakfast at Tiffany's).
I can't use Audrey or Holly here, but Sabrina was on my top 5 list for a while (it's now been replaced by Sofia, since I'd prefer not to have the same initials for my kids). And purely hypothetical how does a sibset Sabrina and Audrey sound?
So, what do you think of these names? I'm sure many have different associations since these names are actually used in your countries and you've met people named Audrey or Holly.
*the Teenage witch thing doesn't bother me (I liked the show as a teen), it's not an issue here

Please! Use Sabrina. The world doesn't need another Sophia/ Sofia. I work with children, and I know way too many little girls with that name as it is. Sabrina would be refreshing. Also, I too grew up watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch, so Sabring will always have a soft spot in my heart. Lovely name.

I knew the theme as soon as I saw the names! I think it would be lovely to see/meet three sisters with these names actually! I would have probably used Audrey as a mn should I have a DD one day, but now I have a niece with Audrey as her mn, so it's out! Sabrina I do like, as I love the movie of the same name and Holly is also great. DH and I were considering using Holly if our first child had have been a girl instead.

I like all three, but Audrey is my favorite.
Holly is pretty in a simplistic sort of way. It's not really my style, but I have no issues with it.
Sabrina is a lovely name, but it doesn't age as well as other names out there. It sounds very young to me. I would still rather meet a little girl named Sabrina rather than Sofia. Sabrina would be more refreshing. I think that Sofia / Sophia is lovely, but every other little girl where I live seems to be named Sophia or Isabella.

It is actually a lovely sibset.
Audrey makes me think of Hepburn. I picture an endearing petite brunette. I went to school with a Sabrina & I didn't much like her so unfortunately she comes to mind. I was friends with a Holly who was very smart & nice. Holly is a bit dated to the 70s but was never superpopular. Overall it is a good name.
