Aubrey

[Spanielpuppy]

What are your thoughts and opinions, heard it in a movie last night. I haven't stopped thinking bout since

[CalmAndConfused]

I love it myself

[Olivo]

Awful ,sorry!

[Madcatgirl]

I love it and considered it for ds2.

[NorbertDentressangle]

No, have to agree it's awful.

The only Aubrey I've ever known was an old, ex-luvvie retired theatre actor type who wore a smoking jacket and cravat which met every preconception of the name I'd ever had!

[Jumblebee]

I love it

[pinkyredrose]

Aubrey Beardsley fan here so I love it!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

It is the name of a cartoon character with a big nose, that people used to draw on walls in the 1980s. I hate it, sorry.

[Spanielpuppy]

Oh I thought it was a girls name?

[BirdhouseInYourSoul]

I've heard it for both.

Strikes me as America for some reason.

[ZenNudist]

Love

[batmanandrobin]

my friends daughter has this name and she's beautiful so i think it's quite sweet. one of those names i wouldn't use myself however!

[CountBapula]

Reminds me of the episode of Only Fools and Horses where they have a seance.

Medium: The spirits are with us. A man has stepped forward. A tall, elderly man wearing a black coat and a black hat. He wished to speak to someone called Audrey... No, no Aubrey.
Del: Aubrey?
Boycie: I am here
Rodney: Aubrey?
Boycie: It's my middle name.
Trigger: You never said your name was Aubrey.
Boycie: Nor would you if your name was Aubrey.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Pretty sure it's a boys' name.

[ALittleFaith]

It's both. There's a character called Aubrey in Pitch Perfect. I like it but I think you'd/she's spend forever correcting it from Audrey.

[CrispyFern]

It's more of a girl's name now in the US.

[pinkyredrose]

It's a unisex name. Aubrey Beardsley is most definitely a man.

[Madcatgirl]

Aubrey is not a girls name.

[JakeyBurd]

Traditional old boys' name recently co-opted for girls. Because there aren't enough girl names already...

[CalmAndConfused]

I thought it was a girls name.

[babyblabber]

I posted about it before. It's traditionally a boy's name in UK but it's s girl's name in France and more commonly America.

I think it's lovely as a girl's name but too feminine for a boy. I'd love to use it but seeing as their are people who think it's only for boys I was kind of put off it.

Oh and one of the teen moms on mtv has an Aubrey which isn't great!

[Spanielpuppy]

Baby blabber I agree it's too girlie for a boy.

It was pitch perfect I heard it.

At the mo I think it's a firm favourite. But we will see x

Thank you all

[burgatroyd]

Its now being used for girls.

I think its actually a nice sounding word.

But prefer Bree as a name.

[burgatroyd]

How about Brinley?

[Only1scoop]

There was one last night on Millionaire Matchmaker....I'm not keen....

[DramaAlpaca]

Traditionally a boy's name. I know it's being used for girls these days, but I don't like it for either.

It sounds too feminine for a boy, and too much like a misspelling of Audrey for a girl.
