I absolutely love the name Aubrey, but thought it was only useable on a girl. However, after seeing that other thread, it seems that people still view it as a boys' name (yay!) is it useable on a boy then? Or do you think it's mean/he'll hate me...? If not, is it okay for a middle name??? If so, he'd be Charles Aubrey (Charlie) if it is fine, he'll obviously be Aubrey Charles!

I mean usable for a girl. But more common for a boy.

I have only heard of it as a boys name. But then we have female Taylor, Cameron, Hayden, Jamie, so it's anything goes these days. You are giving him Charles too so if he doesn't like Aubrey he can go with the ubiquitous Charlie. BTW Charlie is a girls' name too nowadays.

Fine for a boy. I know a one year old boy called Aubrey.

Fine (in fact better) for a boy

I've only ever known it as a boys name :)

I know a boy named Aubrey, he's 6.
It is a boys name.

I like Aubrey for a boy! Really like Aubrey Charles and prefer that to the first name Charlie tbh.

Definitely, after all it is a boy's name originally you can always win that argument! Gives the cute Nn. Brey as well.

Never heard of Aubrey for a girl, only Audrey!
Definitely a boy's name.

Aubrey is a cool boys name. I much prefer Aubrey Charles!

Ooh this is odd, I had a relative who fought in World War One called Aubrey Charles! Never heard Aubrey anywhere else especially not the two together.

I (obviously) approve

It's suitable for a boy although it's a bit old fashioned. it's the rapper Drake real name as well which is a rather cool namesake to have.

I think it's still usable for a boy.
