[Opinions] Re: Aubrey and Audrey
As an Audrey, I cannot count how many times I've been mistaken for Aubrey. I'm sure I'm partially biased, but I much prefer my name. However, that wasn't always the case. As a child I hated how uncommon and FAR less frequent it was compared to my sister's name.
As I got older, I learned to embrace my name and have since come to like it. I love its infrequency yet familiarity and the vintage and classic vibe that surrounds it.
Aubrey on the other hand just doesn't carry those same descriptions as it's more of a boy turned girl name, flash-in-the pan type. I think it would have been better had it remained a boy's name or have not have had an immense explosion on girls, turning it into a modern fad name for girls. 馃
In any case, I find it awkward to say and even to listen to. When it comes to names, I tend to prefer the letter 'D' in general and not so much 'B' so it's no surprise as to why I prefer that "drey/dree" over "brey/bree"
Funny how one reversed letter can make such a difference, but it's certainly there.馃尫鉂囷笍馃尫鉂囷笍馃尫鉂囷笍馃尫鉂囷笍馃尫鉂囷笍馃尫鉂囷笍馃尫鉂囷笍馃尫鉂囷笍馃尫鉂囷笍馃尫鉂囷笍馃尫鉂囷笍馃尫
