Audrey vs. Marilyn
Which name would you choose, and why?
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Oh man, for the first time this is not an easy choice. They're both ugly names. Audrey is heavy and glum, and Marilyn sounds like some bored housewife hanging around in front of the ssoaps with her curlers in all day and chain-smoking.
But I guess I'd pick Audrey. At least the image is non-specific ugly.

Audrey. I like Audrey. There aren't any names quite like Audrey, are there? I don't think so.
I don't think of Hepburn, if there's a Hollywood actor connection behind this question. I'm too young to think of her. I wouldn't think of Marilyn Monroe if I met a young Marilyn either (although I do if I encounter a girl or woman named Monroe).
Marilyn is nice, too, and I'd appreciate seeing it on a young person. But -lyn just doesn't thrill me. It's like -een, that way. I like some names that have it, but I never love them. If it were Marion vs Audrey, that'd be harder to decide.

Audrey is the only one I like of the two. I've never been a big fan of "combination" names like Marilyn, Marianne, etc.
