I love this name! OH hates it

My grandfather's name (born 1904). I think it's lovely.

I had a friend who I haven't seen for years and her brother is called Aubrey. He was called Aubrey the Strawberry at home which I thought made him sound a bit girly.

I like it but I think it has drawbacks.

HelenFF · 22/02/2010 16:58

It reminds me of the Patrick O'Brian books, which means I quite like it

TheBlasphemousShadow · 22/02/2010 15:59

It makes me think of the ditzy receptionist at the moment in LA ink...

Aubrey the Strawberry - at least that's what we called the annoying kid at school. In my opinion it's awful - sorry

How about Austin? Similar feel but bit less... er... creepy?

Aubrey Beardsley

To me, it's a terribly posh name, which is fine if you are terribly posh ......

Not a fan at all.

The only Aubrey I've ever met was exactly how I managed an Aubrey to be and to look - old, well-educated, ex-theatre/drama type, cravat wearing, partial to the odd sherry at 6pm on the dot

I like it! That lovely Bread song is called Aubrey isn't it? Nearly all Bread songs make me cry (in a nice way)

GrimmaTheNome · 22/02/2010 15:26

Yes, especially when they are at the age where d and b get written interchangably.

boodleboot · 22/02/2010 15:26

its terrible....unless you are giving birth to a fast show sketch or something??

belgo · 22/02/2010 15:24

I think it's a boy's name? It is a bit too much like Audrey but still a nice name
