Aubrey

I know a female Aubrey but it's usually male. Not keen on it, to be honest.

I've jsut checked the Oford Dictionary of First Names adn Aburey is male and female.

You learn something new every day!

IMO, it is not a good name for a female.

I think its rubbish, there are loads of great old fashioned boys name beginning with A, ALFIE, ALBERT (ALBIE), ADAM, UMMM ERRR WELL A FEW ANYWAY!

Male, bit old-fashioned. Think your DS might hate you for it!

I think its quite a nice name, but the only Aubrey I knew had severe personal hygiene problems and whiffed to high heaven!

I like it. It sounds a bit like the new Alfie/Albert/Arthur if you ask me.

Boy's name. Upper crust Victoriana

Aubrey is a lovely boy's name! Until we discovered that we're having a girl Aubrey was one of our options. Go for it! Did you know that it comes from Old German and means elf?

In the US it's very definitely become a female name in recent years. If you're not in the US, that's not at all helpful.

I know it's traditionally a boy's name, though I don't think I'd ever use it for a boy because it does have such a slightly feminine ring to it.

There are little girls in the US called Aubrey?

Thanks for the warning - I might have pmsl if I'd heard it in a park or something.

Aubrey is definitely a girl's name.

It's a male name - but if you have to ask, think of the issues your ds/dd will have for their whole life if you use it.

Please don't.l

It is a boy's name and not likely to be popular.

boys name - Aubrey Beardsley was a fine illustrator

Male, posh and old-fashioned. It's one of those names, like Auberon or Cecil, that are male, but seem feminine. The only one I can think of is Aubrey Beardsley (Victorian artist - fab drawings/prints!).

either

My dads middle name is Aubrey, but I think in the States it is popular for girls...I considered it for my Dd...I think it's pretty and unusual without being a bit chav!

Its unisex i reacon but its more a mans name. I imagine a little old man with walking stick wearing tweed. ( sorry )

the butcher

Boys name, love it.

it's a boys name, i worked with teh most lovely man called Aubrey.

i dont think its one i would choose myself though.
