If an Aubrey was written on your class list, would you think boy or girl?

Obviously it should be boy. Can't be doing with these new fangled 'unisex' names that are actually lovely boys name.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/08/2017 19:02

Girl

Montsti · 28/08/2017 18:57

Boy

Mammadragon · 28/08/2017 18:56

It's a boys name so I would think boy prior to introduction.
I've seen a girl 'Aubree' 🙄

(Not helpful in this instance, but our school puts a little dot next to girls names on class lists - very multicultural school and can be difficult to tell)

Boy.

Girl - its the name of the little girl from Teen Mom 2 love that show!!!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/08/2017 18:51

Boy, for sure.

MissHavishamsleftdaffodil · 28/08/2017 18:49

I'd think it could be either but I'd be secretly hoping it's a boy, as it's a gorgeous boy's name.

belgiannun · 28/08/2017 18:47

Boy

WildCherryBlossom · 28/08/2017 18:46

It's a boy's name!

I'd think girl

ineedamoreadultieradult · 28/08/2017 18:41

Girl

Sophronia · 28/08/2017 18:40

In the U.K, probably a boy but could be either. In America, definitely a girl.

TheRollingCrone · 28/08/2017 18:33

Boy

FurryDogMother · 28/08/2017 18:31

Boy, because it's a variation of 'Oberon' and means 'king of the fairies'.

semideponent · 28/08/2017 18:30

That would just be my first thought process - as soon as I'd clapped eyes on him/her, all thoughts would be displaced.

FatBettyintheCoop · 28/08/2017 18:29

Aubrey is a boys name and Audrey is the female version.

DramaAlpaca · 28/08/2017 18:29

Traditionally it's a boy's name, but these days it seems to be used for girls even though it's wrong So I'd be willing to bet it'll be a girl in your class.

semideponent · 28/08/2017 18:28

I'd think boy. I'd also think Aubrey Beardsley. Then I'd think Salome and Volpone.

Glowerglass · 28/08/2017 18:28

Boy. Master and Commander, surely?

TestTubeTeen · 28/08/2017 18:26

Boy

MelsMam · 28/08/2017 18:25

Boy

tangledup123 · 28/08/2017 18:24

My first thought would be girl, because of Aubrey O'Day (American girl group singer).
