Avery?

kmb0806 · July 2010

Do you automatically think of a girl? I think it is traditionally a boy name, but now it's unisex and girls named Avery have jumped hugely in popularity.

Would it be weird to you to see a baby boy/toddler named Avery?

Ya, unfortunately I think it is all girl now.

Avery is traditionally a boy's name. I think of the brother from Charlotte's Web when I hear it.

I think it would be strange to use it for a boy now though, seeing as it's so popular for a girl. (BTW, I prefer it as a boy's name)

I think girl.

I think that it is completely unisex like Taylor, if you like it GO FOR IT!

I do automatically think girl now, sorry!

I know it's unisex, but it is so popular for girls, that I think of it as a girls' name.

I definitely think girl.

I love the name Avery, but I had second thoughts about it for a boy too.

I grew up with a girl Avery who is nearly 30 now. I think she's the only Avery I know so I definitely think girl.

I always think girl when I hear that name. Sorry!

I have a friend who just had a boy named Avery. I LOVE the name, but I think "girl" when I hear it.

I had a little boy in my class named Avery. He's five. I think boy.

I think girl, but I definitely wouldn't side-eye a parent for naming a boy Avery.

I think girl, even though it's traditionally a boy's name. I have a friend who named her son Emerson. It's traditionally a boy's name, but I've seen so many baby girls on these boards with that name. I will always think of it as a boy's name. My whole point of that (lol) was that if you love the name Avery for a boy, then go for it!

I really like that name. I have had boy students named Avery, and girl students named Avery. To me, it fits a boy or girl. Avery was on my list of boy names and girl names, I really like it.

Use this https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/babyname.cgi link and you'll see it's now more used for girls which is why more people may associate it as female. My thoughts are that it goes both ways. I know a teenage boy named Avery.
