Beck
I Like Avery she is a special little niece and I think she is one of a kind..
Mandy
I think Avery sounds better as a boys name... and the meaning is just horrible! but it's still a cute name!
Mandi
Avery is now more popular for girls...I think naming a little boy Avery sounds sissy! My little girl will be here soon and she will be named Avery Grace!
Cara
My sons name is Avery even though we got a lot of crap for naming our son, what everyone thought was a girls name!
Cara
Hey Mandi its great to have an opinion but be careful of others feelings!
Tina
I think Avery is a boys name hands down. And i also hate the name Mandi lol
holly
I am in agreement about Avery.. def. better as a girls name. Sounds to girlie to me for a boy. But, some ppl use this name bc of family members, in which case the significance is much more important!

I named my first little girl Avery, but we spell it Aevarie. It really fits her!
Angelina
DH and i needed a boy name that started with an A. We chose Avery and i think it is very fitting for a little boy.
Heidi
We named our little girl Avery. She's just shy of 1 month old and the name fits her so well. to me it's better as a girls name, but i do know that it can be a boys as well.

Avery is a boy's name and always will be. It is masculine and horrid for a feminine little girl. Nothing sissy about it. Way to go Cara and Angelina for putting this name on the RIGHT gender.

Only for Averys!
