My brother was born on December 10th! He'll be 16 this year!As for my opinion on the names, I really do like Audrey. But Marie is not a favorite name of mine simply because it is a bit overused sometimes. What about the name Audrey Claire? Two very pretty, not overly popular, solid names. The name Sophie reminds me of a snobby poodle or something, sorry! Good luck in the choosing!

In that case, I vote for "Sophie Claire", because she has the prettier secret anagram name out of the two.Sophie Claire = Hesperia Clio
Audrey Marie = Rudee Mariya-- Nanaea

Well Audrey means "noble strength" and Sophie means "wisdom". Think of which trait your child would like to have more. "Noble strength" without "wisdom" can lead to self-destructive personalities. On the other hand, if you are wise and not strong, you may not be able to beat them; but you can always arrange to have someone else beat them for you (to paraphrase G. Carlin).

Hmm...Well, Sophie and Sophia have been climbing the charts the past several years. My eight year old daughter knows one of each her age.I do love the name, too, so you first must decide if you'll be all right with it being your child's name, if it becomes the next Sarah.Audrey is also getting a little popular, although it's not in the Top 50 like Sophia. It seems to be more popular than Sophie even--although I haven't come across any Audrey's in my area--but if I hear of many Sophia's, I'm going to connect it with a lot of Sophie's nevertheless.As for my personal taste, I like Sophie better than Audrey. However, I also love Aubrey (with a b).Let us know what you wind up picking.Andrea

I think... AUDREY
It is much more original and it makes me think of a sophisticated and beautiful girl!
While, SOPHIE, is over-done and it sounds like something for a grey kitten, as for a human, it reminds me of a cow-milking farm girl. :)

I definitely prefer Sophie. I can't imagine anyone under the age of 50 being called Audrey. It makes me think of some old frumpy woman. Sophie is pretty and classic and it's one of my favourite names. Just my opinion though!

I think Sophie is more modern, young...Audrey sounds old and boring for some reason! There is my preference for you! Good luck!

I prefer Audrey. Sophie is a fine name. It doesn't seem to be as popular in America, at least where I live anyway. However, I'd go with Audrey because it just seems timeless and classic. Then again, I'm not really partial to Sophie in general. I like it much better as a nickname to Sophia. I think Audrey Claire would go nicely.
