HelpRe: Audrey - how do you pronounce it? (m)
in reply to a message by Array
Twee? Sounds interesting :) What does it mean?
I was surprised to see it was at number 80. I wonder how popular it is in New Zealand. I don't think we have any offical name statistics here :( But I've honestly never met anyone named Audrey or even seen the name in birth announcements. I think that's part of its appeal for me. Hmm...now I'm wondering just how popular it is here. I noticed the other day that there was at least one other person here on the board from NZ - any idea who that is??
I really like Audrey Jean. Audrey Fleur is very nice too. I like some of the others but I just find them too long when you add the last name. Thanks!

Oh--I didn't realize that you were in New Zealand! That changes things for you; if it's not at all common, I'd go with it.
From m-w.com, this is the definition of "twee": affectedly or excessively dainty, delicate, cute, or quaint.
Its origin is apparently from a baby-talk way of saying "sweet." See, when I see Claire, I just instantly picture a whiny five year old--it seems saccharine to me. Clare, on the other hand, sounds wonderfully strong in my head. I associate that spelling with St. Clare, and with a wonderful woman I met this March.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
You might even provide a Heaven for them. We need You for that. Hell we can make for ourselves.
