Is Audrey ever a male name?

Answer 1

Yes, but it is rare.

To see, I went to
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp
which has the US 1880, UK 1881 and Canada 1881 censuses. I checked "Exact Spelling" and put "Audrey" in the given name and the head of household name, figuring that would give me Audreys who were H of H and some would be men.

There is just one, and he is a brit. I repeated the experiment with "John" to make sure my logic was accurate, and got 50 in each census, which is the limit the site will return, not the number of households headed by men named John.
