I like it. It's the name of Fern's brother in Charlotte's Web so it makes me think of hay barns and county fairs and rope swings and candy floss and sunny afternoons and dusty bare tanned legs and generally lovely things.

One person liked it! It reminds me of stuff like that too

I love it and it's high on my list of potential boys names. Hubby not so keen but hoping I can talk him round since he chose DDs name.

Love it for a girl.

In fact, I love it.

The only Avery I know became known as unsavoury Avery for having sex behind a chippy with a girl who complained he was so vigorous, she dropped her kebab.

Avery office supplies.
Oh my. I'd hate to drop my kebab.

Love that vivid little scene you've painted Rose! Grin

I bet she still mourns that lost kebab.

I think of it as a very old money New England or Washington sort of name for a man.

Another vote for the meat scales in every supermarket with a deli counter.

Bella Thorne's middle name.

I love it for girl. It's a very popular girls name in North America. Originated as a boys name though.
