Aubrey or Beau?

[TheWillowsAtNight]

These are the final 2. Which do you like more?

Because they are both awful. Look at the replies. PP don't know if they are for a girl or boy.

Aubrey.

Oh, so all unisex names are awful? (Even though these are male names)

It's not the fact you think they're awful that I care about (we all have different opinions) but I didn't ask what you think of them. It's like me replying Sarah for a "Rose or Jane?" thread - irrelevant.

I like both but Beau swings it for me as it’s my cats name!

Willows, I bloody love Aubrey and have stuck it on my secret as-yet-imaginary-second-baby list .

It’s hot. People are short-tempered and rude. Call your son what the fuck you like.

Aubrey is marginally less irritating than Beau.

Beau for me, and ignore the posters telling you they are awful names when what they mean is that they like neither.

No, I mean I that I think both of them are awful. I would advise that if you want to use either then perhaps as a middle name. Beau is slightly ridiculous and Aubrey makes me think of a smelly old man.

Beau is lovely for a cat and Aubrey might suit a golden retriever.

I don’t like either. And it’s not obvious whether it’s for a boy or a girl.

Oh I love them both so much! For a girl or a boy for that matter!

I think Aubrey wins it for me slightly though x

I LOVE Aubrey. Hate beau!

Aubrey.

If it has to be one of the two, I’d say Aubrey because if you call him Beau he will never be able to visit a French speaking country or have French lessons in school without getting the piss ripped out of him.

Aubrey is traditionally a boys name! I know one child who has it and it is on my list!

Aubrey 100% it's a great name

Aubrey. I've always liked it as a boy's name though it has become more popular for girls recently.

Aubrey

I know a female Aubrey but I actually like them both - Beau is just inching out in the lead because I think of Aubrey as a female name.

Ignore the obnoxious arseholes on the thread. I don't like overused old man names like Archie, Harry, Charlie or Alfie but I don't chime in on threads about them to offer my negative views.

Aubrey

Both, Beau as middle name:
Aubrey Beau.

Aubrey.

Beau is a bit much, I think the same of Belle for girls.

Aubrey is a portly middle-aged wine connoisseur. Beau only works if he turns out Beau - otherwise it’s humiliating. Think of Beau Bridges.

At a comprehensive they both have strong bullying potential. I’d only go with either if you’re educating him privately.

People are so unnecessarily rude sometimes. The world would be excruciatingly dull if we all liked the same things and people have managed with unisex names for a very long time. It’s really not that difficult. Personally I prefer Beau.

And I can tell you that kids can have the most ‘out there’ names and no one bats an eyelid these days.
