The story of Aubery
The Normans brought Aubrey to England as a man's name, and it survived there as both a given name and a surname. In the United States it later crossed to girls; the band Bread's soft-rock song 'Aubrey' is about a girl of that name, 'a not so very ordinary girl or name'. Aubery moves the e so that the name reads in three syllables. The record holds it mostly for boys, with a real minority of girls.
