Primarily a girl's name · Unisex — 81% girls / 19% boys
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Aubrey yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
No name in this batch has fallen further than Aubrey: down 71% in ten years, from rank 15 and 8,059 births in 2012 to 2,209 births at rank 130. Reaching the top fifteen and then losing seven-tenths of your volume within a decade is a violent arc, and it usually indicates a name that arrived on a specific wave. Recorded from 1889 with 162,498 births. The file is a good illustration of how these lists mislead: its highest-profile entry is Drake, born 1986, whose given name is Aubrey Drake Graham and who has never gone by it. Aubrey Plaza and the illustrator Aubrey Beardsley, born 1872, are the genuine bearers, and the name has also shifted decisively from male to female along the way.
