I'm not usually fond of surname first names, but Avery is actually quite nice, and I think it does sound far more girly than boyish, probably because the 'ave' sound is more often on feminine names like Ava, Aveline, Maeve.
I don't think you should get yourself too worked up about siblings names fitting in the first place, but imo it sounds fine with the more traditional Madeleine, Caroline, Ella etc even if they're different styles. What matters more is if both you and your husband like them.
I really don't like Blair, Campbell and Tatum sorry, they're all too masculine for my taste. Also Blair is associated with our wondeful ex prime minister, though obviously not a problem outside the uk, and Campbell is a surname which means crooked mouth to boot.
