Re: Aubrey for a boy?
I hate the idea that any name could swing too far feminine to be usable, people use boys names on girls all the time and people barely bat an eye, but a traditionally male name that has been used on girls is suddenly tainted. Personally, I would still use it as a middle name, I have it on my list. One of my favourite combos is Eamonn Aubrey. Anecdotal, but my husband has a name that is more predominately female and has never had an issue with his name.

I hate the idea too, and I wouldnt at all hesitate for a middle name, but my son was bullied at preschool for wearing leggings, and the last thing I want to do is have my kid hating his name that young for a similar reason. Eamonn Aubrey is incredibly handsome btw. It doesnt work super well with our surname, but Eamon was on our shortlist for kiddo 2.
