I'm only 16 weeks pregnant so could well change my mind but me and dp do not agree on names at all and we had a hell of a time naming ds1. Amazingly we both agree that we love the name Avery and would use it regardless of babies sex. Is this a silly idea? It's not a name I think I've ever heard anyone name their child and I'm worried about bullying.
Also recommendations of similar names would be most welcome!

Love Avery.

For me its more feminine but whatever takes your fancy.

It makes me think of bird cages and bird poop.

Different spelling I realise.

The children's book Charlotte's Web has an Avery - brother to the main (human) character, so I see it as a boy's name.

I like it. Reminds me of the actor Avery Brooks who was the captain in Star Trek
DS9. He's cool.

One of the 'Real Housewives of New York' has an adult daughter named Avery. Only place I've ever heard it. I think it's a lovely name.

It's quite popular in America I believe.

Wouldn't be to my taste but it's okay although it does remind me of an aviary. Not a name I'd give to a boy though.
