Did you know?
- While オーブリー is a phonetic transcription, some people choose 'ateji', which are kanji characters assigned to the name for their meanings or sounds.
- Because Japanese phonology lacks a standalone 'r' sound, the 'r' in オーブリー is produced as a 'flap', which sounds like a cross between an English 'r', 'l', and 'd'.
- If オーブリー were written in 'hiragana', it would look softer and more feminine, whereas 'katakana' looks modern and foreign.
