Help[Opinions] Re: Aubrey?
in reply to a message by Bex
What do you think of Aubrey for a boy?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Aubrey! It's definitely one of my favorites. I love the meaning, I love the sound I just... oh, it's wonderful!
What do you think of this combo:
Aubrey Seamus Maximilian
Very nice. I think Seamus and Maximilian go well with Aubrey. :)
Do you think Aubrey for a boy will become popular?
Unfortunately, if it continues to rise in popularity for females in the U.S., it looks unlikely. It'll probably be the next Ashley (though most likely not quite as popular). This is only a bad thing, IMO, because Aubrey will be considered a girls' name (this makes me mad. It's not even remotely unisex, and the meaning, combined with the Elvish king from Germanic mythology AND that the name is related to Alberic, is SO masculine. Couldn't the lovers of Aubrey on a girl take Audrey instead? It's similar in sound, a legit girls' name, and SO pretty. But that's just my little tangent. ;)
Heh. Sorry if I ranted a bit. But that's just how much I love the name. Your boyfriend has VERY good taste. :)
