Is Aubrey a girls or boys name?

[Kmills25]

I really like the name Aubrey but my husband and family keep saying it's a mans name, I think it's a beautiful girls name. What do others think?

[MrsJoshDun]

Male name.

[MammieBear]

How about Audrey instead?...

[Goldenpombear]

It’s a male name

[FurryDogMother]

It's a boys' name, related to Oberon, and means 'King of the fairies'.

[harrietm87]

Male name. Audrey is the female equivalent.

If I met a little girl Aubrey I'd probably think her parents had got confused.

[jaimelannistersgoldenhand]

Male name is in the UK, unisex in the US.

[QuimReaper]

It's commonly used for girls in the US. The only one I know in real life is a teenage boy.

[Strugglingtodomybest]

I know 2 and they're both men.

[Fekko]

Also an orange cartoon character with a very large nose.

The local shop where I used to live was owned by an old man called called Aubrey - only one I've ever known. We were really cheeky and used to snigger and call him Strawberry....

[justpoppngby]

I once knew a female Aubrey- beautiful lovely lady.
Also there's a song called
Aubrey was her name, by Bread, around the 70's, I think.

[juneau]

It's a man's name traditionally, but in America there are lots of female Aubreys - I think they've just assumed it's the same as Audrey.

[LadyTesticlee]

ugly boys name

[YouCantBeSirius]

Boys name

[lifechangesforever]

I've only ever heard it as a girls name

[expatinscotland]

Male name. Never hear of people asking if Rose is a good name for a boy, it's always male names for girls.

[llangennith]

Aubrey is a man’s name. Very old fashioned too.
Are you confusing it with Audrey?

[Notso]

It's a boys name that sounds like a girls name to me. I used to go to a male hairdresser called Aubrey, however one of the Teen Mom's has a daughter called Aubrey/Aubree and a friend of DH has just had a daughter called Aubrey.

[Donotbequotingmeinbold]

There was an Aubrey in our family. He was male.

[windchimesabotage]

Its traditionally a boys name but I dont see why you couldnt use it as a girls name seeing as names like James are used as girls names now days!

[ShowOfHands]

Boys name but it's going the same way as Sacha which I loved for ds but people are increasingly appropriating it for girls.

[MysticFlyTrap]

Unisex

[gussyfinknottle]

Boys'name. Audrey is a girl's name. But if you like it for a girl, use it. I have female cousins with what are traditionally boys ' names. They rock.

[Vanillamanilla1]

To me it's a males name.

[CotswoldStrife]

It's a male name to me.
