Girls names, ugh. HELP! Avery?

[Maria1299]

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!

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

Sorry but I don't like it.

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

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

Cecilia is beautiful.

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.

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

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

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.

Nitty Nora the head Explorer.
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

sorry wrong thread
The daft bastard that I am

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

I LOVE Cecelia, it always sounds powerful to me.

Avery is a (male) Death Eater

Cecilia is a lovely name

I know both male and female Averys from Texas. I prefer it on the girls. All the girls I know also have quite feminine middle names (Names like Rose, Charlotte, Grace) - not sure if it was deliberate on their parents’ parts or not, but with a gender neutral name it probably helps.

I like Avery Cecilia. Any more names and I think it’s probably too many syllables.

I always assumed it was a boys name. And, yes, death eaters.

Avery reminds me of office labels. Cecelia is pretty. Would it be shortened to Cece? That reminds me of the film Beaches.

Avery? Hmmm
I keep suggesting Zilpha, it's really unusual, I think it's a lovely name.

I quite like it. And she could use Ava as a lovely nn / alternative if she wanted to later.

I would go for Avery Cecelia.

I like it

Makes me think of bird poo.

Avery Lyanna Cecilia is a bit of a mouthful.

The only name out of those three I'd even contemplate is Cecilia, and I'm not mad on that, sorry OP.

Avery scales is all I can think of.

Avery makes me think of office stationery.

I love Cecilia though.

Cecilia ia a bit of a mouthful.Celia?

I’ve only ever known Avery as a surname... Never heard Lyanna before - is it Lie-anna or Lee-anna? Agree with pp that Cecilia is beautiful, would you consider using that as the first name?

I really like Avery but my dh doesn’t like it. I agree, Avery Cecilia is lovely.

Will always be Avery labels to me. It’s very meh.

Ava, despite its heinous popularity, is miles better.

I much prefer Cecilia as a first name.

Cecilia Ava is lovely.
