Lately the name Audrey has really been growing on me. What do you think of it? I see it as rather sophisticated but I think some might view it as an 'old lady name'.

The following comment is from perceptions on Babynammer on Oxygen:

"I think probably the cruelest thing you could do to your child is name her ODD-REY. What an awful name."

Just wondering if any one actually pronounces it like this - OD-Ree? It never occured to me that it could be pronounced more than one way until I read this. Maybe it just depends on your accent. I personally pronounce it AWW-dree. The AWW is quite a long sound rather than the short ODD.

Please suggest some names you think are of a similar style for siblings and possible middle names for Audrey. I am stuck on Audrey Claire at the moment but would like some other options. I tend to like 1 syllable mns. With both Audrey and the last name having 2 syllables I think a 1 syllable mn would probably work best anyway. I like Audrey Rose and Audrey Grace but I had the same mn as every other girl in my class growing up so I'm trying to avoid that.
