Well a friend's dad was called Aubrey BUT the Bread song goes, 'and Aubrey was her name'

Perhaps it is a unisex name, hmm.

I had a big, fat grumpy (male) cat called Aubrey. Sorry but i wouldn't use the name on a child, male or female. It's ok for a grumpy old cat though

Aubrey is a boys/mans name - my old manager was an Aubrey - and he was a lovely man.

Although even approaching retirement he still got really ticked off when people confusd it with 'Audrey'

Aubrey is male, but many people won't listen properly when it's said and will hear it as Audrey, unfortunately. I do like it , though.
