Audrey is predominantly a female name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 190,000 people named Audrey in the US today.
The name Audrey's root letters are ADR.
Because the authoritarian letter A and the dominant letter D are both deeply influenced by the elements of power and discipline, it’s not surprising to find them forming the roots of the austere words: addictive, adjudicator, adultery, admonish and adversity. But in the ADR names, the conservative aspects of the AD combinationare nicely offset by the robust, ribald, raunchy, racy and romantic resonance of the letter R; suggesting people whose quiet inner strength is in perfect balance with their natural flirtatious charm.Of particular interest is the name Audrey, whose traditional meaning is noble strength. Its inherent rhythms echo with the evocative and high-spirited -RY phoneme of: fairy, merry, spry, glory, cheery, and brewery.
With their dual natures of conscientiousness and casualness, the charming Audreys have the unique ability to be both the life of the party and the designated driver at the same time. Perceptive and sharp, they rely on their abilities to influence people's emotions (instead of their intellects) to win converts to their cause.
Like all A people, Audreys must guard against their egos becoming the driving force in their lives, for once they get a taste for being in the spotlight, they have a hard time retreating into the shadows. The Audreys’ intuitive understanding of how the universe works, makes them amongst the first people that others turn to for guidance. But it's not their insight alone that draws people into their sphere; it's that critical/sympathetic combination, which makes others feel that they're getting honest advice for their money.
The Audreys’ strong work ethicgoads them to excel, particularly in the fields of arts and entertainment. And while success may seem to come easily to them, it’s probably because they consider work to be nothing more than a means to an end. Life is for living, not working, so whether performing on stage or just animatedly telling jokes, it's done with passion and enthusiasm. Perhaps they would do well to leave things alone on occasion, especially at those times when silence speaks more effectively than eloquence.
