Aubrey is a boys/mans name - my old manager was an Aubrey - and he was a lovely man.

Although even approaching retirement he still got really ticked off when people confusd it with 'Audrey'

Aubrey is a family name of ours and I think its lovely.
It was on my shortlist as a mn for my dd2.
Unisex.

reminds me of rice puddding for some bizarre reason..

Twinkie1 · 27/07/2008 10:36

It is a boys name - mind you I bet he gets beaten up at school by the cool kids for having such a twatty (poofy!) name!

Don't like it at all, I picture an aging theatre foppish camp man.

I had a big, fat grumpy (male) cat called Aubrey. Sorry but i wouldn't use the name on a child, male or female. It's ok for a grumpy old cat though

Sparkletastic · 27/07/2008 09:26

Boy and poofy - to use very un-PC term

FabioThatFirggingCat · 27/07/2008 09:25

Audrey - girl

Well a friend's dad was called Aubrey BUT the Bread song goes, 'and Aubrey was her name'

Perhaps it is a unisex name, hmm.

It's male.

Have you not heard of Aubrey Allen the Buthcers?

Cies · 27/07/2008 09:21

boy´s name.

I think old fashioned, rarely used,

sunshineonarainyday · 27/07/2008 09:19

boy - not keen, sorry!

hermykne · 27/07/2008 09:19
