It was always a boy's name until, like many others, it became popularised in the U.S. as a girl's name.

Ojoj1974 · 28/08/2017 23:31

Girl.

Boy or girl. I do really think it's time we stop worrying about "boys" and "girls" names and just have names!

Zoloh · 28/08/2017 22:25

Boy, like Aubrey de Grey.

I know an elderly man called Carol

Carol is the equivalent of Charles in some languages.

I know a middle aged man called Tara

I know girls called Aubrey, and it reminds me of Audrey.

Girl

DandySeaLioness · 28/08/2017 20:44

I'd be thinking girl but looks like I'm in the minority Shock

3littlebadgers · 28/08/2017 20:15

I'd think boy, and if he turned out to be a girl, I'd accept that too.

Copperspot · 28/08/2017 20:12

No idea, i would have to check!

Like when we get an Ashley, Cody, Colbie, Beau, Mckenzie, Addison, etc. Lots more unisex names these days!
