I said I'd never ask a question on this site, so be nice!!!!!! I am asking this because I got 4 thumbs down on my answer. Technically, Aubrey is under the boy names and means ruler of the elves! Even though it is pretty also for a girl!!!!!!! I hated the meaning of the name but named my son Aubrey Jacob Harris after my grandfather, whom I adored! His name was William Aubrey!!! Sorry I wrote a book, but I was just wondering why everyone assumes that is a girl name!!! I cannot even find it in the girl section of my baby book of names! I will admitt, I think she probably is having a girl but it was not specified so........

The reason Aubrey is automatically thought of as a girls name is because once a name noticably become a unisex name, it's not long until it is strictly feminine. Parents tend to want to give their sons masculine names. Once the name truly has enough girls following it, it becomes too feminine for a boy. Some historical examples are Ashley, Sydney, Kimberly, and Madison.

It's just because my friend Aubs would hate to hear that she could fall in love with a guy only to find that his name was Aubrey too.
I would never thumbs down anyone for that, however. It your answer was a book, I would maybe thumbs down because I'd assume that it was pointless mishmash that could have been done in less than the number of words.

i understand a boy named Aubrey and he's stunning lol. some human beings have been announcing in the event that they named a boy Aubrey he'd hate his call and get teased. properly my Aubrey would not get teased lol and he would not hate his call reason if he did im specific he'd purely bypass via his center call or something, which he would not. I additionally understand a woman named Aubrey lol. i would not call a boy Aubrey yet it truly is purely my opinion. Its to girly to me. i admire Audrey so plenty greater proper then Aubrey tho.

Well, the only time I've heard Aubrey used for a male was a guy who one of my former friends was formerly married to. He was from like the Caman Islands or something like that. They had a couple of really pretty daughters together.

I have never met a boy names Aubrey so that is why I would assume it is a girls name.

I don't know. I find that hard to believe too. I prefer Aubrey as a male name. I don't particularly like it as a girl's name.

I looked it up on a baby names website and it's listed as a female name.
