Love it as long as it's on a boy (it's my top boy name). On a girl, Aubrey seems tacky and airhead etc.
I like Artemis, not so much Artemisia. Aubriella is just weird. It's like Gabriella plus Aubrey plus Arabella. I don't like it.

In England it's a male name, and not in much use these days. It was used about 1900 mostly, and is inspired by the surname of diarist John Aubrey.
I have heard recently of a fan of the fictional Captain Jack Aubrey (in the Patrick O'Brien sea novels) calling his son "Jack Aubrey".

I prefer Audrey or Audra for a girl.
Audra Faye is pretty!
