HelpRe: Aubrey?
in reply to a message by Mom2Girls
My DH loves the name Aubrey for a girl. If we'd had a girl, she probably would have been named Aubrey. It's very cute and modern, and shortens to Bree.
I don't really see Aubrey as a unisex name, because the usage in the US is overwhelmingly female, and it's getting even more popular. I think it's a name that will end up in the same category of names like Ashley or Courtney, that were formerally male names that now are predominately female. I wouldn't hesitate to name a daughter Aubrey for fear the name would ever go back to the boys.
I just don't see the appeal of Aubrey for a boy. It's such a soft name. I can't picture a boy named Aubrey, at least in the States, that wasn't some pretentious prep school kid.
