Thank you Smile yes, I know Aubrey was originally a male name, but so was Courtney, Darcy, etc. Smile more girls are now given the name!

I quite like Aubrey, even though it's not my usual style.

Grace

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/07/2017 17:59

Grace

No, Aubrey was a boy's name... and still is a boy's name.

Audrey is a very similar, yet female, name.

Migraleve · 15/07/2017 18:11

Aubrey is awful

Thinkingoutloudmostly · 15/07/2017 18:22

Sorry Aubrey is still a boys name to me, so Grace for me

chantico · 15/07/2017 19:47

Grace.

Aubrey if she turns out to be he.

SuperBeagle · 15/07/2017 20:13

Aubree is the female version, nn Bree. Popular in America and Australia. In France it has an accent over the first e. I love it!

BuzzKillington · 15/07/2017 20:26

I love Aubrey - but it is a boy's name.

No to Grace - too common.

JimmysMum1988 · 15/07/2017 20:56

Aubree

It's different I like it

bridgetreilly · 16/07/2017 16:47

Audrey would be a much better choice.

OvO · 16/07/2017 17:04

Aubrey.

Grace is lovely but there's 27625352 of them.

Luncharmstrong · 16/07/2017 17:18

Aubrey if you don't mind your daughter and yourself saying Aubrey not Audrey all of your lives

Ropsleybunny · 16/07/2017 17:20

Grace 110%

LucieLucie · 16/07/2017 17:36

Are you in the uk?

Aubrey strikes me as a kind of 'backward' name like Audrey with a B and yes to male African American.

Grace is a lovely name.

The two are entirely different and not really comparable.

Jivebunny89 · 16/07/2017 18:06

I'm a 27 year-old Grace and am grateful that it's gotten trendy so I don't have an "old lady" name just yet.

BillywigSting · 16/07/2017 18:09

Both lovely names but Aubrey is a boys name sorry. My dad's best man was called Aubrey. I had a friend in school called Grace who suited her name perfectly, and know a toddler Grace now. have a boy too so you can have both namesWink

BillywigSting · 16/07/2017 18:11

(The Aubrey that I know is Irish though, definitely not African American!)

PoppyPopcorn · 16/07/2017 20:24

Definitely Grace.

Aquamarine1029 · 17/07/2017 16:53

I love Aubrey. Listen to the song "Aubrey" by Bread. Actually, I love Grace as the middle name with Aubrey.

Kazzawazza69 · 17/07/2017 16:57

I don't like Aubrey for a boy or a girl I'm afraid. Grace is lovely but it is soooo popular!

MikeUniformMike · 17/07/2017 17:08

Aubrey is a boy's name and an unattractive one at than. Audrey is a girl's name.
Grace is a pretty name but it is popular, not without reason.
