Avery-boy or girl to you?

tsc3260 · March 2012

I am really loving Avery for a girl, but I will spell it Averie... Just curious, do you see it as boy or girl?

velvetskyy · March 2012

I like the name, but not the changed spelling.

FrecklesInside · March 2012

I prefer it for a boy but think it is nice on a girl too. I would spell it Avery no matter what - don't change the spelling, it doesn't make it more or less for one sex.

ames71 · March 2012

Boy.

I wouldn't change the spelling for a girl, though.

strawberrytree · March 2012

I think it is okay on either sex, as long as you give her a middle name that clearly shows she is a girl (ie not Taylor, Morgan, or another name that is used on both or, worse, primarily boys ie Ryan). I really hate the spelling Averie though. Changing the ending doesn't mean it is more feminine, it means it is spelled wrong and she will spend her life correcting people.

This.

I always think of Avery as a boy because the first Avery I ever met was a boy.

Keri Marie · March 2012

Avery is a boys name

Averie is stupid and being stupid does not make it a girls name.

...I'm in a mood about this topic today.

gingerale79 · March 2012

I agree with everyone else. Love it for a boy, but I understand people liking it as a girl's name. Please don't mess with the spelling!

eclipselova4eva · March 2012

I like Avery for a girl...but spelled Avery.

Pictures29 · March 2012

Girl name but I would highly suggest just sticking with the normal spelling. Avery.

Yup.

alliejo725 · March 2012

I think of it as boy-turned-girl. No longer unisex. If I see the name Avery, I assume it's a little girl.

Don't spell it Averie. That's stupid.

PinupMomma08 · March 2012

Boy, then printer labels.

Aligator28 · March 2012

Boy name. I'd only spell it Avery - even if it were for a girl

stahlop · March 2012

This name is all boy to me. I do know little girls with the name, but I don't like it.

redneckmomma25 · March 2012

I actually thought it was only a girls name. I've never heard it as a boys name....only girls...but it seams as if its the opposite lol! Either way I wouldn't change the spelling.

mrs_tacos · March 2012

I like it for a boy better, but it's cute on a girl. Please don't change the spelling. Averie doesn't even look like a real name.

natalie7s19 · March 2012

I don't love it for either but if I saw "Avery" on paper I would assume girl. It's much more popular for girls these days.

Please don't change the spelling. She'll be correcting people her whole life.

DawnJM25 · March 2012

Girl, with the spelling Avery.

Kimmyznc · March 2012

Girl IMO

austenreader85 · March 2012

I think boy because of Charlotte's Web. But if I knew the age, I'd probably think it was a girl. Ditto others, please spell it Avery.

WiFeY 4 LiFeY · March 2012

I know an Avary (girl) and an Avery (boy) so to me it goes both ways.. If that is how you are going to spell it I see girl 100%

jconnor20 · March 2012

This post makes me so sad.... dh and I loved the name Avery for our boy until people continued to comment endlessly that it is a girls name. I wish I had made this post in the beginning of our pregnancy because this is the first time that I have heard so many people agree that it is a great boys name. Oh well maybe next time

Mrs.MLR04 · March 2012

I only know girls named Avery. I never knew it was considered a boys name.

Exactly.

caramia582 · March 2012

Avery is a girl name to me- no need to change the spelling!

That is stupid. It looks like someone misspelled ovary.

gstore · March 2012

the only Avery i know is a girl, and i think its a beautiful name. spell it Avery

SRK128 · March 2012

It's my daughter's middle name so girl and don't change the spelling.

g8trkim · March 2012

I prefer it on a girl but I don't like the "ie" at the end.

ktpaladino · March 2012

I see it as both, and like it equally for either sex. I've known both boy and girl Averys. I do not care for your altered spelling, however.

trojas · March 2012

Girl name for sure. And I would spell it Avery.

Yep, me too

Temp174496125006552 · March 2012

I think of it as a boy's name. I hate the changed spelling. It looks like a made up name. Please don't do that to your daughter.

Kelli7025 · March 2012

Used to belong to the boys, but IMO its girls only now. If I see it or hear it I immediately think girl. Only spell it Avery.

Its on out list for girls as Avery Marie Elizabeth.

TripMomma · March 2012

Girl. I don't find any names ending in 'y', or the 'E' sound, masculine.

camillaandcarson · March 2012

girl
