I mean, I get why people like it, but it seems so plain to me. No personality, at all. :P

It's warm and even earthy to me. I like it for either.

I think it sounds more feminine than masculine, so I'm okay with it switching, but I hate it because of the "aaaw" sound. *retch*

My good friend is naming her daughter Aubrey Grace. If it was a boy it would name been Aubrey James. I couldn't pretend to support either, and almost all of the people I mention it are like, "well, thank God it's a girl," and then they're like "It's so dull," and it really is a dull name, especially with her last name. I've had to bite my tongue. For a while she was at least open to Aubrey Lavinia, which I suggested, and it livened it up a bit, but now, it's Aubrey Grace, and I have given up.

That name is Wonder Bread and a glass of water. Appetizing.

It's not just you. It's livelier as a first name, but it's easier to use as a middle name, so people stick it after EVERYTHING. It's this generation's Marie.

Aubrey Beardsley!
This name is redeemed for me because of the artist. His stuff is really cool, it's like creepy-swirly Art Nouveau. Yah, he was a guy, but his art is very sensual and femme fatale-esque, so it works as a girl name for me because of it.
Check him out!

Also Aubrey has a neat meaning. I don't mind it, overall.

That guy is pretty awesome. He died at 25? Sad.
Still, this is a classic example of why I don't like it on a boy, either. It sounds like the name of a velvet dandy from the 1890's. Not my thing. :P

It's fine as long as it's on a male. Really fine, because then its whole long history kicks in. But on a female it's just silly.

I considered putting this as my example, but then I was thinking:
It reminds me of birds, like...augury.
It also reminds me of loafers...and not sure why, or if that's a bad thing or not.
I like it more than Audrey, at least.

I like it for a boy. Basically just 'cause of Aubrey Beardsley...
But I agree, on a girl it's kind of drab. Cute but blah.
