Aubrey

[Jenbot]

IS it too much like Audrey?

I think it's a boy's name? It is a bit too much like Audrey but still a nice name

its terrible....unless you are giving birth to a fast show sketch or something??

Yes, especially when they are at the age where d and b get written interchangably.

I like it! That lovely Bread song is called Aubrey isn't it? Nearly all Bread songs make me cry (in a nice way)

Do you remember
this?

x-post!!

posted before I clicked other link!

Not a fan at all.

The only Aubrey I've ever met was exactly how I managed an Aubrey to be and to look - old, well-educated, ex-theatre/drama type, cravat wearing, partial to the odd sherry at 6pm on the dot

Aubrey Beardsley

To me, it's a terribly posh name, which is fine if you are terribly posh ......

How about Austin? Similar feel but bit less... er... creepy?

Aubrey the Strawberry - at least that's what we called the annoying kid at school. In my opinion it's awful - sorry

It makes me think of the ditzy receptionist at the moment in LA ink...

It reminds me of the Patrick O'Brian books, which means I quite like it

I like it but I think it has drawbacks.

I had a friend who I haven't seen for years and her brother is called Aubrey. He was called Aubrey the Strawberry at home which I thought made him sound a bit girly.

My grandfather's name (born 1904). I think it's lovely.

I love this name! OH hates it

I was just going to post same Aubrey link. .. I loved Aubrey.

yes, is most certainly too much like Audrey

Yes he'll spend much of his life saying no it's AuBrey not Audrey.

You are absolutely not allowed to use this name! [irrational emoticon] It is my future sons name and I chose it because I expected him to be the only Aubrey under the age of 70 in the English speaking world, no-one here likes it so let weirdos like me use it!

actuallymynameis did you go to school with my OH?

He suffered for a long time but now he is far to big and scarey looking for anyone to even mention his name!

It does sound very posh. I don't think it matters that it sounds like Audrey as most Audreys are in their 70s and 80s now.
