I just came across the name [name]Mabry[/name] and it has piqued my curiosity. Would you pronounce it [name]MAY[/name]-bree or MABB-ree? And would you spell it [name]Mabry[/name], Mabrie, Mabrey, or Mabree? Anyone know anything about it? Thoughts on it?
I pronounce it [name]MAY[/name]-bree, and Mabrey is my favourite spelling. It sounds rather made-up, but I still like it. It reminds me of [name]Aubrey[/name] and [name]Audrey[/name].
I agree, but I actually found it on records from the early 1940s, and I don’t know if people really made up names much back then…?
The first thing that came to mind was that it sounded like “Maybe” but I think it could make a solid name. It looks getable to me.
I actually know a couple who’s last name is [name]Mabry[/name], so it probably came from the practice of using a mother’s maiden name as a first name.
It’s a nice sound, but I agree that it sounds too much like Maybe for me to really like it. But I guess if you’re an Arrested Development fan that could be a positive.
I have heard of one little [name]Mabry[/name] and it is prn [name]May[/name] bree. I don’t hate it, but is seems to fit in that whole surname/trendy category.
