It's terribly trendy. For that reason alone I wouldn't even consider it, but if you love it, it does come with the benefit of going with LOTS of middle names. Really, you could hardly choose wrong, there.
Avery Elizabeth, Nicole, Jane, Michelle.. I was going to suggest Avery Kate but i see your little one is already Cate. She is absolutely adorable by the way!
My 16 year old son went to school with a boy named Avery. My 13 year old step-daughter had a friend in school named Avery that was a girl.
I don't know anyone that's used the name recently, but it is the name that I am using most likely. I do think of the office supplies though Avery-Dennison
I also want to use the name Dana, but it sounds better as Dana Avery, and I wanted Avery first... so I'm a little stuck.
I think it's too trendy as well. Otherwise I love it for a girl. It was traditionally a boy's name but I disagree with it being too masculine. I think it is very feminine. I would never use it for a boy.
I agree with it being a little trendy, but it is our first daughter's middle name and I absolutely love it! We get a lot of compliments on her name. I like the middle name Sophia for Avery.
Re: WDYT of Avery?
I love it. It was one of our top picks for a girl.
We were going to go with one of these combos:
Avery Renee
Avery Alice
Avery Sophia
I dont like it for a girl or a boy.

I love the name though.
i love it. it ws on my list but DH didnt like it.
i think Avery Lynn would be pretty.
a little too common nowadays (also the name of Dr Phil's new granddaughter, and a main character on 30 Rock, just FYI!)
It's NMS- too masculine for me to use- but it's not nearly as bad as 99% of the unisex names out there.
I think it's too close to Audrey and I, frankly, think Audrey is a lovely girly name and Avery kind of sounds gender confused next to it.
