Aubrey

would you go with the classic spelling (above), or change it up some?

I am SO not a fan of 'changing it up some'.

It is spelled Aubrey. It's a beautiful name. Why eff it up?

This. I can't even think of a way to change it that wouldn't just be...strange.

I had a college roommate who spelled it Aubree. But I agree, leave it alone.

Think about it this way - having a "classic" spelled name will not be the norm when our kids get older because all of the crazy/different names and spellings these days, so you don't have to worry about your LO having a "popular" name. I'm a fan of leaving it.

Uh...that's a girl's name? I grew up with a boy named Aubrey. I just asked DH if he was familiar with the name and he gave me one of those "ya think?" looks, and said "Uh, yeah, it's a VERY popular West Indian boy's name." LOL.? There's an Aubrey in DD's class.? I like it as a girls name, I just put it in the same category with boy's names that have become girl's names, like Sidney.

carolinag · March 2010

i am not a fan of cre8tive names at all.... so i say good old classic Aubrey.

mante · March 2010

I'm with KG on this one. Yes it's a classic name - a classic boy's name. Anyway, it's fine for a girl, but really ought to be spelled the original (AKA correct) way.

whitless · March 2010

please leave it Aubrey. It's a lovely name that should not be messed with.

Echowysp · March 2010

I have a friend whose name is that. She spells it Aubri.

i know Aubrey!! He used to play minor league here. I only know 2 Aubreys -him, and a girl i went to school with. Ive always thought it more of a girl name though.

Wow, you really had to work for that one!? I could completely see that being mispronounced as a sound not unlike a cat coughing up a hairball.? I don't think I could top that one! LOL

Mrs.Meg&Jay · March 2010

my brother's gf is named Aubrianna (aubri-on-na), and she goes by Aubri.

I prefer the spelling Aubrey.

Future Mrs.Grabowski · March 2010

My DD's name is Aubrey and we didn't like the odd spellings. My mom decided to be odd my name is Holly but she spelled it Hollie....

LondonBridges · March 2010

I would leave it just like that - Aubrey.
