I'm not usually one to care a whole lot what others think of a name we are considering but this one is so unique (IMO) that I want to get a feel for it. We are having a boy and our last name is a single syllable. Pronounced Ay-vit. And, yes, we are fans of the Avett Brothers so that is what made us think of it.

@saham07 We looked it up and it doesn't have an origin. We have only ever heard it in the band's name.

I did mispronounce it back in the day fwiw. Mixing up ay-vett with ah-vett.
We like one of our top contenders more because of its connection to an Avett Brothers song. The name Eleanor from a Father's First Spring.

@laurenm2123 it's been really helpful to see things like what you said about the name mix or other people's thoughts on what we were going for. For us, we know the band, we know the pronunciation so we wouldn't have ever considered all these things people thought.

Just, with a name like this you will almost constantly be explaining where it came from, and once he is older, so will he. You should ask yourself if you want your kid to always be introducing himself as "Avett" 'Nice to meet you, Everett.' "No, Avett, like the band Avett Brothers." 'Wow, your parents must have really been fans. Who are the Avett Brothers?'
Not everybody listens to folk indie rock.
