Aubrey vs. Audrey

Piper2009

DH and I like both names. What are your thoughts? 

Thanks in advance  

HannahO28

Audrey! It seems so much classier... Aubrey just sounds like you're saying it with a cold!

Piper2009

Thanks, ladies! I should mention that DH and I love Audrey. Aubrey has only recently grown on me... Definitely doesn't have the same classic, timeless feel.

I love both but I like Audrey more because it is classic.

LOVE Audrey.

Dislike Aubrey.

Definitely Audrey.  Aubrey is more cutesy for a little girl, and sort-of trendi IMO.

I prefer Audrey, but that is because Aubrey is my grandpa's name.

I think Aubrey is a trendy mess to me. And it sounds more masculine than feminine, imo. I don't understand the hype at all.

Audrey is classic. Nice name.

 This.  Aubrey seems a little trashy to me.  Audrey is lovely! GL!

Audrey is classic, Aubrey seems sort of Southern to me, which I actually like.

My guess is that if you name her Audrey, it'll be pretty easy for her.  If you name her Aubrey, a lot of people will probably *think* it's Audrey or ask her to spell it or need to be corrected.

I like them both, Audrey is just more common because it has more history.

I think Audrey is great.  It is one of my favorite names on our list.  Aubrey just seems too trendy for me.

Audrey is much classier!

 Aubrey reminds me of an unrecalled Lindsay Lohan movie where in the trailer she says "My name... is Aubrey." Anything I can associate with Lindsay Lohan is automatically not classy. Even without the association it just has a low-class feel to it.

I've always loved Audrey - its such a classic name.  Aubrey is nice too but I just don't like it as much as Audrey

jolynn326

I like both but would personally only use Audrey. Aubrey seems pretty trendy right now, both here and in my RL circles.

Reilly626

Aubrey reminds me of Teen Mom. I like Audrey, you could call her Audra.

I like both names but I prefer the more classic Audrey just because Aubrey is a little trendy and I don't know if it would age so well.

Another vote for Audrey!

benmel31

I love Audrey.  It is pretty and classic.

My DD is named Audrey, obviously I love it.    When she was born, I kept hearing "Oh my so-and-so just had a baby girl and named her Aubrey with a B"  Seems like Aubrey is more common but I don't like it.

mybobble

IMO Audrey = classic

and Aubrey = trendy w/ to many "cutesy" spellings

You can't go wrong w/ Audrey though there are alot of them popping up now.

I think Audrey is beautiful and classic (ie: Audrey Hepburn). The only Aubrey I've ever known was the total hot mess express and ruined the name for me forever.

laurakaz13

I think Audrey is a million times classier.

I agree.

I strongly prefer Audrey - it is much prettier, and classier.  Aubrey sounds like a boy name to me (and even then, I don't think I am a fan).

alliejo725

Unlike most people here, I like both names.

Audrey is nice because it's more classic, and it has the connection to Audrey Hepburn (and who doesn't love her?).

Aubrey is nice (to me) because it feels "different" from Audrey. It's more spunky, daring, and fun. I picture a girl named Audrey being very refined, polite, and ladylike, while a girl named Aubrey is more carefree, adventurous and energetic.

i love both but i vote for audrey.

CiderWench

Audrey = classy

Aubrey = trendy

I prefer Audrey.

Aubrey makes me think of Aubrey McFate from "Lolita," which is not new or trendy but is not the most positive connotation either.

FrecklesInside

I much prefer Audrey. It is prettier. I can't quite explain why.

mrsjenni

Unlike most people here I like Aubrey better.  Though Audrey is really nice too.

andysrose926

If we have a girl, she will be names Audrey. I had a dream over a year ago that I was somewhere with who appeared to be my current daughter and someone had called her Aubrey and within my dream I rolled my eyes and in my head thought "It's Audrey".  Also around that same time my daughter picked out a doll at the store whos name was Audrey.

Aligator28

I love the name Audrey.  It has exploded in popularity amongst people from my HS who are now having kids, so we aren't going to use it. 

Daiz813

Looks like I'm in the minority,but I prefer Aubrey :-)

Definitely Audrey. Every time I see Aubrey I have to double check it.
