Avery?

Really like Avery (more than Averie).  Much prefer it for a girl as opposed to a boy. 

Avery Charlotte is a great combo! I love the feminine, classic nature of Charlotte with Avery's spunk. Brennan Lucas is very handsome as well!

Congrats I love Avery Charlotte and Brennan Lucas :)

Thank you for the opinions! We have decided to use Avery Charlotte for a little girl.  :) If this baby is a boy he will be Brennan Lucas.

Even though I expressed slight hesitation to Avery on a girl, it's only because it's a name that I wish could be used on a boy. I definitely agree that it has a soft sound that works really well on a girl. It is also much more popular for girls, so I would assume an Avery was a girl. I also agree on almost all of the names you listed as unisex but basically exclusively girly! I actually quite like Ainsley on a girl :) I think that Nolan, Aidan, and Avery would make a good sibset and that people would assume Avery is a girl.

The naming boards are the only place I have read negativity about Avery on a girl. Ironically I find this one TOO frilly for boy. In real life everyone loves it, even the Pediatrician after I gave birth said to me "I love her name, Avery Rose it is so pretty". To each is own, there are lots of names that are classified as "unisex" that I personally would not use on a boy, Ashley, Aubrey, Brynn, Brooke, Alexis, Hadley, Harper, Madison, Addison, Ainsley, the list just goes on :)

I am so surprised about the number of responses on here that prefer Avery for a boy.  My niece is named Avery, and it is the most beautiful girl's name I have ever heard!  Seriously, if it weren't already my niece's name, I would name my baby girl Avery in a heartbeat!!

I feel it is elegant, yet also sweet and strong.  And that has been the response by others to her name since she was born 7 years ago.  I prefer the spelling Avery to Averie, but think both are nice (Averie will just be misspelled more often I believe.) 

And i LOVE LOVE LOVE Avery Kaitlin!  (If I didn't spell Kaitlin the way you did, it's because I can't see your original post now that I'm replying!)  But I love that combo!  :)

In general I don't like traditionally boys' names on girls but this one I like. I know I'm biased though because a girl I baby-sat for when I was a teenager was named Avery. It's definitely grown on me. :) It's also a lot more popular now for girls than for boys. If you do use it, I do prefer Avery to Averie.

Sorry but I feel the same as some of the others. To me Avery is a boy name. This was my pick for our boy list and now it has gotten cut do to girls taking it over. Everyone teel me to use it as a girl name, but I just can't see it for a girl. Kinda a bummer the one that like it for a boy so to just go ahead, hubby won't now.

Sorry again Good Luck.

I've met exactly one Avery in my life. And he's a boy.

Sorry, I hate it when names switch genders :(

I prefer Avery, which is a beautiful name fitting with Kaitlin

If you think about spelling it Averie I would spell Kaitlyn like this.

Avery Kaitlin

or

Averie Kaitlyn

I think Avery should stay a boy's name. Aveline, Ava, and Evelyn are good for girls IMO.

Honestly, Avery is exclusively a boys name to me, I hate that it's becoming so trendy for girls. The combination's kind of pretty, but if I heard the name Avery, I'd assume it was a boy immediately. And I feel like, with Nolan and Aidan, I'd assume it was another boy, the three names have a similar feel to them in my mind....

Also, definitely Avery, even if you use it for a girl. I just greatly prefer the more common spelling for any name, Averie looks like it's trying to hard to be girly. 

I've really come to prefer this on a boy, but with it's popularity as a girl's name and it's seeming similarity to Ava, I think that most would assume an Avery was a girl. For a girl, I actually slightly prefer Averie because it does look a bit more feminine to me (and I'm usually not a fan of "misspellings"). I think Averie Caitlin is nice. I don't really like C-names spelled with K's... I think Nolan, Aidan, and Averie would make a good sibset; they are pretty similar in their styles. Good luck!

I might be a bit biased as I have the most adorable little 5 year old named Avery Rose :) I still love her name! She has the nn Ava too so I got both names in one. I have no idea where the rest of my original post went to, but I prefer the original spelling, and I suggested Avery Katherine or Avery Kathleen as alternates to Kaitlin. I want to add that Aidan is my top boys name at the moment, if we ever added to our crew I would totally use the two in a sibset and not worry about gender confusion, all 6 of my children have names classified as "unisex"..
