Ask your husband what he thinks about "Isabeau"; it's a French version of Isabella (Audrey is also French originally, so maybe he would like a French version of Isabella better - who knows?). Michelle Pfeiffer's character in the movie "Ladyhawke" (1985) was called Isabeau.

I thought Audrey was French originally, but I might be wrong, as this database lists it as English. Sorry.

I've always known it as a late form of Etheldreda! How even the Brits get that right defeats me utterly, but there you are.
What puts me off is the word: tawdry. As in: cheap junk sold at St Audrey's fair. Suppose she would have been St Etheldreda once.
