But you can call me Aub. If that'd be easier for you. I realize that Aubre is difficult (?) and not the traditional spelling of the name, so please, please call me Aub if that's what it will take to not have to see you call me:
Aubrey - Okay, this is the traditional spelling of the name and I let this one slip and don't let it bother me as much when people type this. Technically, it IS the correct spelling of my name just with a little something extra. I like to pretend the "y" is a pretty little decoration at the end. A gift of sorts. I suppose if you must misspell my name, this is acceptable.
Aubree - Close, but not quite. This reminds me of all those people out there that are adding letters to the ends of words and thinking it's.......cute? Clever? I don't know what they think, but here's my opinion: annoyinggggggggg. Stop. Please, just stop right now. Is your finger falling asleep? Are you having a stroke? No? Then, please don't do this and please, don't call me Aubree.
Aubrie - Nope. Not gonna fly. Don't go there. I don't even know what kind of moronic spelling this, but it makes me think there should be an extra syllable, like Aub-ry-ee. Yuck. Don't.
Abury - Are you drunk? This makes me think of a gross guy walking up to me in a bar, spilling his drink all over me and slurring out "Abury" like it's taking every last bit of concentration to say my name....and not vomit on my shoes. I'm not even sure why I had to include this one in the list, it's so ridiculous, but just two days ago I received an email confirmation with my name spelled like this. After I spelled it out for the woman. Twice.
In closing, dear friends, I want to assure you that although "Aubre" goes against the way traditionalists would have the name spelled and consequently, society's mandate on how it should be spelled, it is in fact, the way I spell my name. So, be assured that I did not misspell my own epithet on facebook. Don't feel the need to correct it by posting your version of it. It's Aubre. Always has been and always will be. If that's too difficult, call me Aub.
Love and hugs to all......until we see each other again,
Aub
