Masculine vs Feminine and whether you like it aside, I think everyone can take a chill pill because Aubrey clearly has a lot of meaning to the OP. I would be a little sad if a name I'd been thinking about for a few weeks (or months) gets endlessly made fun of on a chat board. Yes she asked for your opinions, but she didn't ask for your sarcastic remarks and gifs. Just saying.
On another note, my name is Kelsey, which is also a traditionally masculine name, but other than Kelsey Grammer when have you ever met of heard of a male Kelsey? How about Mackenzie, Lauren, Ashley, Lindsey, Shannon? All formerly male names. Names change over time, it's just a fact. And men can also have "feminine names." My brother in law is named Dana, his grandfather named Jan, and they're not "any less manly" due to their names.
you no like my gifs?
For what it's worth, I think they're spectacular! Tis marvelous!

My nephews name is Shannon (he is 18 years old), and I have to point out that he is male almost every time I talk about him (to someone other than family). On one hand, I know that it is a perfectly fine male name. However, I know several Shannon's, that are all female. If I was hearing someone else talk about a Shannon, my mind would assume "female" just because I am around more female Shannon's. Having the name Shannon doesn't make him any less masculine, but it does cause confusion with a lot of people that "oh, you have a nephew? I thought that you had two nieces?" Given this, names that are masculine but are commonly used for girls in my area (like Avery, Aubrey, Leslie, Kelsey, etc), I wouldn't ever use on a boy. I wouldn't use them anyway, just because of the fact that they are not my style, but even if they were....I wouldn't want to be constantly having to tell people that my Avery is actually my son, and not my daughter.
I think Aubrey is cute for a girl. I know one male Aubrey IRL but he's an older man in his 50s or 60s. That said every other time I've heard the names used for the younger generation it's been used for a girl--Aubrey Plaza is a famous actress on Parks and Rec and Aubrey O'Day also comes to mind (she was in P. Diddy's reality show about forming a girl pop group and is now a music producer).

All arguments about Aubrey for a girl name are invalidated by one Aubrey Drake Graham. ( See how awesome anecdotal evidence is?!) If I weren't on mobile, I would put a smeksy Drake gif here.

IMO Drake was much better as Aubrey - when he was on Degrassi. But I'm nostalgic for that wonderful piece of Canadiana, especially the original two from the '80s and '90s.
