What do you think of the name Avery for a boy?

[1Lara1]

I really like the name for a boy
it sounds warm and nice . What do you think ?

[ForgivenessIsDivine]

Avery weighing scales and the crooked lawyer in the Tom Cruise film 'The Firm'.

[SoupDragon]

I only know one and she’s a girl.

[scurryfunge]

I think of Tex Avery.

[SoupDragon]

Definitely don’t use it if your surname is Bighorse.

[DollyLlama]

I like it! Only heard of it as a surname but it a bit different.

[Hotpinkangel19]

No sorry, I don't like it.

[fleshmarketclose]

I'm not keen and see it as a girl's name because of those Bratz dolls. I prefer Aubrey.

[tryingtobethebestican]

It sounds like a girls name to me too.

[MrsMyreton]

Like it!

[Leicesterpiggott]

Charlotte's Web

[windchimesabotage]

I love it!

[TheWizardofWas]

Fine if you don't deal a lot with labels....

[MammieBear]

Not so keen, Aubrey?

[dungandbother]

Girls name to me. I know one.

[pilates]

Dislike, sorry

[gingercakeandwhitecustard]

I quite like it but would only use it as a middle name personally

[dkb15164]

I like it as a middle name but not sure about as a first name on the premise it might not suit all personalities e.g I can't imagine a rough and tumble, sport-mad Avery only a gentle sweet Avery. Is that weird to assign personalities to different names? Also can't imagine an Avery as a CEO or business leader as it's not a very demanding name. That sounds so weird to type. What other names have you thought of?

[VanessaBet]

Reminds me of a character from Nashville. It's ok.

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Very feminine

[Carouselfish]

Aviary. That's all I think.
It's very American.

[expatinscotland]

'Very feminine'

Yet when anyone suggests using a traditionally male name for a girl, no one ever says 'very masculine'.

[Rosasaurus]

Love it 😊

[JosieSand]

Office labels or Stephen Avery spring to mind.
