[Opinions] Avery for a girl?
Avery, is really growing on me for a girl, WDYT? any MN for it? I dunno if this "love" w/ Avery for a girl will last at all.ETA: still would use it on a boy first before a girl cause it's so masculine to me, but it's drawing me in slowly for a girl.

I know only females with the name Avery. One is about 35 years old and the other one is my newborn niece. Her name is Avery Caroline.

Hm.I could go either way.
I prefer it on a boy, but my brothers middle child is Avery Reece, so I've never met a male Avery.

"Aviary and ovary", comes to mind.

When I was in high school, back in the 90's I went to school with a girl named Avery. At the time this was very unusal. The name was so obscure to me that I didn't even realize it was a boy's name. I remember thinking it was a really cool name. Now Avery on a girl is sort of trendy, but I understand the appeal. I think it's rather cool that I knew a girl Avery who is ahead of her time!I also went to school with girls named Gavin and Arwen.

I don't particularly like it for either gender, but it feels androgynous enough to work for a girl.

I actually really love Avery for a girl, total GP. I think it needs very feminine MN to balance it, though.Avery Amelia

I find it tiresome.

I think it's terrible on a girl. It used to be my favourite boy's name and it's completely masculine. Ending in EE sound ≠ automatically girl's name.

I prefer Avery for a boy but I don't think I would use it because it's been taken over by the girls! I do think it's kind of cute for a girl though!MNAvery Grace
