Our story of Aundra
The vowels in caught and cot were distinct across most of English for centuries and are now identical for a majority of American speakers — one of the largest sound changes of the last hundred years, still spreading, and almost entirely unnoticed by the people it has happened to. Its visible consequence is in spelling. A name written with an au and the same name written with an o are the same name for most of the country and different names in the record, so the family splits in two and each half looks rarer than the sound was. Half the apparent variety in the American name record is this change leaving fingerprints.

Not established
No source. It may be a respelled Andre or Andrea, both of which descend from the Greek word for a man, or it may be a build from familiar pieces. Nothing in the spelling settles it and the record keeps no note.

Fashion outlook
Aundra sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
Based on 146 years of naming cycles. How we read them
The trade-off
- It is read correctly on sight by anyone.
- It is short, firm and easy to say.
- It works for either child, which the record confirms.
- Andra, Ondra and Aundre are all in the record and his will be written as one of them.
- It leans to boys, but a real share of children with this spelling are girls, so forms will sometimes guess wrong.
- There is no meaning to hand him.
