Aubrey really isn't popular, but I've seen it on here and I'm falling in love Grin it's so unpopular that I love it!

Finn was our fave but now I'm think but Aubrey is gorgeous!

Help...

I love both! For me though, I would have used Aubre(e)y for a girl, so personally would use Finn for a boy

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/09/2017 06:24

Finn by a mile.

MammieBear · 01/09/2017 07:28

Finn this time

Finn

I love both but Audrey is my favorite girls name so doubt I'd use Aubrey. It is lovely and underused though.
I have a Finn , christened Finley and of course love it (although i sometimes wish I'd chosen Finnegan)

Aubrey - lovely name, and as you'll see form other recent threads, it's a boy's name in UK.

There are so many little Finns round here it sometimes feels like shark central.

Finn is v popular. That is fine so long as you don't mind your kid being in a class with others of the same name.
Aubrey I just don't get. Sounds too much lile Audrey which is my old aunt's name.

pigeondujour · 01/09/2017 07:38

I absolutely love Aubrey.

BillywigSting · 01/09/2017 07:41

Aubrey for me. My dad's best man was called Aubrey and he was a pretty amazing man. Finn I'm not as keen on, Finn is either an old Irish mythical hero or the class bully ime.

Friolero · 01/09/2017 07:41

I prefer Finn, not keen on Aubrey.

SwishSwishBish · 01/09/2017 07:41

Finn

olderandnowiser · 01/09/2017 07:44

Finn = love it

Aubrey = just no

TheDowagerCuntess · 01/09/2017 07:45

I hear Aubrey, I think this guy, but am probably just showing my age.

Finn far preferable.

Do you prefer Finn or Aubrey?
NaughtyElephants · 01/09/2017 07:46

I knew an elderly Aubrey. Lovely chap. But every time I saw him, without fail, I would think aubergine in my head after his name. no idea why.

Prefer Finn personally but as I always say on these threads, the beauty of names is that's we don't all like the same ones. Diversity is a good thing and excluding inappropriate choices any name you give your child with love should be acceptable.

MrsJoyOdell · 01/09/2017 07:47

Finn. I have a Finn and he's certainly not the class bully, thanks. In fact he's bullied relentlessly for having ASD. Nasty comment.

Jooni · 01/09/2017 08:21

Finn. Don't like Aubrey.

How about Aubin? Lovely, unusual and has elements of your other 2 faves.

stellarfox · 01/09/2017 09:10

Difficult one, both are nice names! I've always thought of Aubrey as a girls name but I rather like it as a boys name too!

Aubrey is much nicer than Finn, IMHO. More unusual too.

bridgetreilly · 01/09/2017 09:29

Finn.

Aubrey has some quite negative connotations for me.

user1487671808 · 01/09/2017 09:30

Finn, Aubrey is just awful sorry.

TheNaze73 · 01/09/2017 09:40

They'll be 5+ Finn's in his class. It's up their with Alfie & Jack. Nice name but, very popular.
Aubrey is a great name. Love it

Grin

I remember that Aubrey, Dowager.

PaganGoddessBrigid · 01/09/2017 10:56

Finn

Aubrey, bloody hell. Knew a Strawberry Aubrey so I could never grow to love the name.

NC4now · 01/09/2017 10:58

Dowager!! Yes!! That's who I was thinking of the other day when this name came up. Thank you. Yes, I think of that Aubrey too.
It was a bit of a joke name when I was a kid, sadly.
