I love this name for a boy. But on Google searching about the name, it seems its now very popular as a girls name!

My question is, is Aubrey a gender neutral name, or will it soon be seen as a girls name??

If so, what other names might I like??

I know a baby girl called Aubrey but until then I thought it was a male name . I think there was a male artist called Aubrey Beardsley? But in America it's used for a girl I believe . There's an actress in modern family called Aubrey. I like that Aubrie spelling for a girl though .

I know a man in his 60's Aubrey and a little girl aged 4 Aubrie spelt that way

It's a boy's name to me

It's a boys' name that is gradually turning into a girls' name in the same way that Hilary did.

It's gender neutral. I personally prefer it for a girl though.

Awful name for a boy and worse for a girl

I've only known two people with this name. Adults. Both girls. Both spend their lives saying "No, not Audrey. Like Audrey, but with a B"

I would say it's gender neutral nowadays. My grandfather was called Aubrey and I always thought it was a nice unusual name 😊

When I saw the post title I thought it was a girls name.

willieversleep · 15/09/2021 19:24

I've only known girls with this name so I suppose it depends on your own experience/view

brittleheadgirl · 15/09/2021 19:22

I know a girl called Aubrey!

Shhhhhhhshh · 15/09/2021 19:22

It’s a boys name!

Cleebope2 · 15/09/2021 19:22

I have one for a male friend. An uncommon name.

alexdgr8 · 15/09/2021 19:22

no.

OrangeTortoise · 15/09/2021 19:21

I only know one and he's a boy!
