My little girl's name is Audrey. She has a strong temper ....Not very 
restful for us, her parents ! 

What does it name inspire to you ? I would be happy to know it.

437.1My thoughtsSKIWVA::FSCNOTue Sep 12 1989 13:2610
    The name Audrey always makes me think of Audrey Hepburn. She strikes
    me as a very courageous, regal and wellbred personality. Not to
    mention one of the most beautiful women in the world. It also makes
    me think of auburn, does your daughter by any chance have red hair?
    
    By the way, how do you pronounce your name?

437.2THANKS TO CINDY'S REPLYEVOIS6::LEBRUNThu Sep 14 1989 08:3412
    At her birth she has red hair and now she has fair hair. Your thoughts
    make me pleased. Do you have any kids, too ?
    
    (This is the first time that I dare write in a conference ! It's
    very encouraging)
    
    I don't forget : pronounce my name like that :
    "jisslane"

437.3Since you mentioned it.SKIWVA::FSCNOThu Sep 14 1989 09:059
    Dear Ghislaine,
    
    Yes I have one daughter, Rachel Elizabeth. We have another one on
    the way, Hannah Rose if its a girl but undecided on the boy's name
    yet because my husband and I can't agree.
    
    Your name is very beautiful and one I have not heard before.

437.4Audrey is a great nameCLOVE::MACDONALD_KThu Sep 14 1989 12:5815
    Hi Ghislaine,
    
    I LOVE your name - I have a cousin named Ghislaine also.
    I also like Audrey and I agree with Cindy - it makes me
    think of Audrey Hepburn.  Maybe your daughter has grown into
    her name.  Do you believe that's possible?  That if you give
    a child a name that evokes certain feelings, the child will
    become that name?  I feel it's true.  The name Audrey, to me
    anyway, seems strong and independent - a bit feisty maybe.
    It also sounds like the way you describe your daughter.
    
    By the way, welcome to the conference.
    
    - Kathryn
437.5Audrey...RIPPLE::JOHNSON_JOWed Mar 28 1990 15:5419
    Hi,
    
    My wife had a friend named Audrey. She took care of Audrey,
    who eventually died of causes related to MS.
    
    In spite of her MS, Audrey had a full life and had a vibrant
    personality. She read, travelled, had raised a family, enjoyed
    grandchildren, etc.
    
    Audrey was strong-willed and did not withdraw from life's
    activities because of her illness.
    
    I believe Audrey is related to the French name "Aubrey," which
    means "red-haired"?
    
    To me, Audrey conveys strength yet is feminine. It has
    character, sounds pleasing.
    
    We may use it if we have a girl.
