I want old fashion and/or unusual.

My list so far is:

August - B
Aubrey - G
Margot - G
Viviene - G
Kit - B
Perry- B

However, I'm still very undecided and atikk searching for a name that makes me thing "oh I love that!" So far I'm more "mm not bad, I'll put it down"

Hit me with the golden oldies! .. and odd ones!

I’d think of Aubrey as a boys name... like Aubrey Beardsley. Vivienne has two ns or Vivian for a boy.
How about for boys: Clement, Tristan, Tristram, Julius,
Girls: Isolde, Dorothea, Claudette, Letitia

I discovered I have an ancestor called Scholastica. She seems to have been something of a wild child!

Yep, so people tell me.

Except when I Google "aubrey" more women come up than men.

Tyler is also a boys name, so is James, AJ, Lindsey. But men also share this name.

Aubrey is on my girls list.

I like Caspian and agnes.
