Audrey is one of the girls' names that have been rising due to their connection to Old Hollywood glamour — in this case the eternally chic and radiant Audrey Hepburn. Audrey has another very different appeal as one of the elite group of girl names that mean strong, brave, or powerful.

The o ending and the positive meaning in many languages makes this a winner, and with the feminine Vera making a surprise return, and the new love for the letter 'V', this becomes a name that has definite possibilities.

Janey is a feminine name primarily used as a diminutive form of Jane. Jane itself derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious.' Janey carries the same meaning while adding an affectionate, more informal quality through the '-ey' suffix. This sweet, unpretentious name has a friendly, approachable quality that maintains its charm from childhood through adulthood. While never among the most popular names, Janey has maintained consistent usage, particularly in the United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries. The name peaked in popularity during the mid-20th century but has since become less common, giving it a somewhat vintage appeal. Janey balances familiarity with distinctiveness, offering an alternative to the more formal Jane or the similar-sounding Jamie.
