I like Avery Marie? (Marie again being my MN and my mom's and we are named after my great grandma)

I really like it for a girl.

krissyser · April 2012

I also automatically think girl when I hear Avery, and I love it.

I actually prefer it for a boy which I guess isn't popular. It's a nice name either way.

BlueRidge8 · April 2012

Honestly, I'm tired of it.

corkietn · April 2012

I have a friend named Avery and she's pretty fun so I have a positive association there.

Aligator28 · April 2012

I know it is trending toward girls; however, I am still firmly on the "Avery is a boy name" soapbox.

evaazalea · April 2012

Quite trendy and will be time stamped, the only Avery's I have ever met are under the age of two, they are girls though.

Michellie7 · April 2012

Yep, I'm on the "HATE the name for a girl" side!

I'm SO irritated that it's become a girl's name.

gnomemom · April 2012

I like it! I know some people don't like using boys names for girls, but I don't have a problem with it.

herman.159 · April 2012

I like it!! I have NEVER thought of it as a boy name. I don't know a single boy named Avery, but I know several girls, including my niece. Go with it, especially if you like it!

I realy like Avery as a girls name. We know of one little boy named Avery and he is more often than not mistaken for a girl by people who hear his name only. Based on that....I really feel that Avery has made the jump from male to female.... and I would have more concerns with using the name for a boy.

I HATE it with a fiery passion when used on a girl.

I feel the same; I much prefer it as it was originally used, for a boy.

starsmoonsky · April 2012

I love it!! I know alot of people think of it as a boy's name but I have always thought of it as a girls name. That could be because I went to school with an Avery, and she was a girl.

BLPL101 · April 2012

Don't like for either sex

Marsee · April 2012

It's a boy name.

Vegasbb · April 2012

Love it, but it's VERY trendy because of 30 Rock....

MissRachel621 · April 2012

It's my 6 year old niece's name, and she's adorable and sweet, so I love it Smile

Same here.

CaitlinJ22 · April 2012

I prefer it for a boy

NewFamily09 · April 2012

I think it's super common as a girl's name, especially where I live. When I was a teacher, there were tons of Avery's. I hated it when it was mispelled. One year, we had an Avri. Blech. I think our neighbor's daughter is spelled Avrie. I really like it if you promise to spell it Avery. I also like it for a boy. I had a boy student named Avery once.

g8trkim · April 2012

It's pretty but too trendy and popular for me. I know 3 girls named Avery under age 2.

Me three.

FrecklesInside · April 2012

There are a lot of posts on this, you might want to do a search. I posted facts from SSA in another thread but don't want to chase the numbers down again. It is more popular (much more) as a girl's name now, but still known as a boy's name too - making it completely unisex.

I prefer it on a boy but think it is nice on a girl.

kmpls · April 2012

I like it for a girl.

LollipopsAndCrisps · April 2012

Avery is a boy's name. Period.

Hate it on a girl, hate it with the MN.

Keri Marie · April 2012

It's a boy name.

colfr · April 2012

I'm not really a fan. I'm generally into really feminine names, and I just see it as too masculine for me to use on a girl. Then again, I see it as too feminine for a boy.

But it's a perfectly acceptable name. And I think Marie makes it a little more girly, which is good (:

megemoney · April 2012

I know a baby girl Avery. I think it is pretty.

serendipity_5 · April 2012

My cousin has a daughter named Avery Rhyan. A facebook friend just had a baby boy and named him Avery..cant remember the middle name though

To me, Avery is ONLY a girl name. When I read Avery Marie my head goes immediately to Ave Maria (the church song).

Seems to me that Avery has gotten pretty popular recently, but other than that it's a nice name.

Ashley5704 · April 2012

I think Avery Marie is a gorgeous name! Marie is my middle name too! I know someone who has a daughter named Avery.
