Audrey

In Disney's Descendants, Princess Audrey was the daughter of Aurora and Prince Phillip. She was a student at Auradon Prep. She dated Prince Ben and Chad Charming, and was a cheerleader. She was a bit stuck up, and had an immediate dislike of Mal, whose mother, Maleficent, had tried to kill her parents.

In the television series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Audrey Nathan was a cellist and the girlfriend of Agent Phil Coulson. Audrey was never informed that Coulson had been brought back to life after being killed by Loki. Audrey was stalked by Marcus Daniels, aka, Blackout.

Audrey is an Old English name that means 'noble strength.' Audrey was originally a boy's name, I'm considering it unisex, but the girls have pretty much taken over the name. Audrey has always been in the top 1,000 names for girls in the U.S. In 2014 it was the 36th most popular name for girls. For boys, Audrey was in the top 1,000 names for boys periodically from 1902 to 1939. In 2014 only 5 boys were named Audrey.
