My favorite is definitely Audrey. No idea why, but I like it! :)

Edited to add: I just realized this could actually be Ee-laine or Eh-laine ... not sure which pronunciation. I've only known women with the Eh-laine (soft e, rather than long e) pronunciation. If it's the long e sound, I supposed the long ee at the end of Audrey would run into it, but if not, it's definitely my favorite. :)

I really love all these names, especially Audrey and Julia. I think Audrey flows the nicest with Elaine. Olivia and Alexandra are too popular. I would go with either Audrey or Julia.

From your list my favorite is Audrey Elaine. As for a suggestion my sisters' name is Haidee Elaine pronounced Hey-dee. I have always loved her name and think it is a beautiful name. I have never met anyone else with it, other than our grandmother. So here are my choices for those who skim through the posts...

Audrey Elaine
Haidee Elaine

Ummmm, Andrea gets my vote ;). LOL, just kidding it is a great name, and I have been complimented on it many times (btw, just out of curiousity, how are you pronouncing that? Mine is Ann Dree A, not On Dray A (if that makes sense, I'm not good at spelling phoenetically) Audrey really gets my vote, I love this name and it was on our list for this baby until we decided to go Irish first names (my DH is Irish). Have you thought about combining some of your faves like Adreanna, Audreanna or Adrianna? I think Audrey Elaine is gorgous as is though. And I think A fn and E mn's are genius ;).

I think the names ending with "a" don't flow as well and Audrey. If you say them together ex: Olivia Elaine, they seem to cut each other off. Although you have to realize that she won't be called both names by most people! Since you are "stuck" with Elaine, pick a name that you truly love b/c that is what you will call her.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and general approval of Audrey Elaine :). It's my favorite but I didn't know if it would sound well to other people. For those who asked, we pronounce Elaine with a short E.
