Alright so i’ve had my boys names picked out for years. But, turns out i’m having a girl. I am having the hardest time picking a name, because I hate most girls names. Right now, I think i’ve almost completely decided on Avery but do you guys think that’s an okay girls name? Also, for middle names I’m either gonna do Lyanna or cecilia. But, i’m considering doing both. i have two middle names and its never made anything difficult at all. So, what do you think of Avery Lyanna Cecilia? Or one or the other? Or just Avery? Thanks so much!

I know 4 female teens/early 20s called Avery, name chosen by American women now around 53/55.

Sorry op I really don't like it. Plus it's not really fair to use it if your dh doesn't like it.
You've both got to be on board.
Bonnie is okay ,though

I love it for a girl. I can't stand it for a boy.
It's far too pretty and feminine.
Avery Cecelia is gorgeous.

Avery is a boys name in Nashville... and somewhere you keep birds! 😂

Avery Jessop was a great female character in 30 Rock.
I quite like it Smile

Love it :)

Dd is 7 and one of her baby alive dolls is called Avery. Someone commented on the doll recently and asked her name and thought it was amazing. Dd was very pleased with herself. Go for it!

You won't have the issue of 4 in a class at school with the same name.
Loads of girls in ds's school are called Mia/Ava/Olivia/Ella etc and it's nice to be different.

It makes me think of a bird aviary every single time I hear it.

Cecilia is beautiful.

Makes me think of Steven Avery and I don't like it.

Avery......the first thing that came to mind was...... Avery, the commercial weighing scales manufacturer.

Sorry but I don't like it.
