HelpRe: Aubrey for a boy?
in reply to a message by Gracie
I personally like it, but I don't think I'd use it because I'd be worried they'd be relentlessly teased by ignorant people who don't understand the concept of unisex names.
Someone pointed out Drake was named Aubrey, but obviously stopped going by this name, and I've heard males make fun of his given name.
I also knew a Leslie in high school who I recall being told that he had a girl's name and by college he changed it to Trey. I always thought Leslie was a perfectly good boys' name, and it was silly that he felt pressured to change it.
Then again, I know a male Precious who wears his name well, but his family is from Nigeria and he is massive in size, so people don't bother him about it.
If you love it enough, I support it, but you definitely have to mentally prepared to constantly explain to others the concept of a unisex name.
