Baby Names

Avery for a boy?

I love this name, and know its unisex... But currently more popular for girls.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Re: Avery for a boy?

  • My cousin Avery is a boy. I like it on either sex.
  • Avery on a boy reminds me of Murphy Brown. And I loved that show so Avery on a boy works for me.

  • Avery IS a boys name, anyone who names a girl this is asking for people to question the sex.  Go for it.

  • I know it is a boys name, but it really sounds feminine to me and I do associate it more with girls these days.

    This for me.

  • Avery was our name choice if DD1 was a boy, but we probably wouldn't have stuck with it since Avery is a VERY popular girl name where we live and I didn't want a little boy to be in a classroom full of girls with his name. Its still a boy name to me though.

    This.
  • I never knew or would have guessed this to be a boy name until I joined this board. I always looked at it as feminine.
  • I actually prefer it on boys so I say go for it!

  • I'd be conscious of the fact that Avery will be used often among his peers.  While the board may prefer for Avery for a boy, that won't change the fact he will most likely have friends named Avery that are girls, not boys.  Peers can be rough on names... I'd just keep it in mind.
