Audrina

MrsMyers2010

Anyone like this name?

Allie30

Nope. But that's because the only time I ever heard of it is in conjunction with that girl on the Hills. I'm sure it was a lovely name before that.

The Hills. Enough said.

MrsMyers2010

Ohh yeah..point. I don't watch that crap, totally forgot about that.

I don't watch it either, but I do -- to my eternal shame -- read a lot of fashion magazines, and she is always in them and she looks trashy, so I have a bad association with that name.

But does that mean our children's generation will? Realty TV fame is fleeting, though it has a big effect on baby naming trends. Audrina has jumped  400 spots on the SSA list in the past year (and at least 300 the year before that, because it just appeared). I'd wager that is due to the tv show. Do people think now that all the 30-somethings name Laura are a result of the soap opera or do they just think it's a more common name? My association with Audrina is probably not going to be the one that peopel have when they actually meet your adorable little girl and her name is Audrina.

It's similar to the way I'd never consider the name Monica (because of Lewinsky) but objectively, it's actually a very pretty name.

Not me.

In addition to The Hills, it is also the title of a V.C. Andrews novel, My Sweet Audrina. Which is quite possibly where The Hills person's parents heard it.

I actually think its pretty. And yes, Audrina on the Hills is lame, but the show in in its last season, and in like 6 months no one, especially your daughter will remember it.

yes i like it-was on my short list

I've never heard of it before. It looks like an offshoot of Audrey IMO.

I think of the VC Andrews novel a pp mentioned and that book was really creepy.

Laura1025

I also thought of the Hills right away...

kinserella

I do:) I have a friend with that name and I love it. It really isn't that common and I think its really pretty. That's my vote.

I like the name. Yes I think of the girl from the Hills, but it doesnt bother me. I think its a sweet name.

I agree I think its a pretty name but I almost feel guilty liking it because I cant stand the hills..

redtulip

Don't like the name, but do love Audrey though.

lisak624

This is what I think of, too. I also think of VC Andrews when people name girls Heaven. Ugh.

I do remember thinking the name was pretty when I read the book, though.

NMS. I prefer Audra. IMO, with Audrina the ending feels tacked-on.
