I like it but for a girl!

It looks nice but it always make me think ‘aviary’.

I thought Avery was a girl's name because Ramona from Real Housewives of New York called her dd this name.

I like Avery too, but for a girl, and I think if you call a boy Avery then a lot of people might well assume that he is a she.

Amory, however, I would think is a boy!

Ellis is nice (and def a boy).

I didn't expect to but I actually like it! Ellis is nice too.

I really like the name Avery, but I prefer it for a girl tbh.

Really like Ellis as well (I know of two, ones a boy, ones a girl).

What about Elliot as an alternative if OH isnt keen on Ellis.

It's a boys name, and a Death Eater, so I wouid probably rule it out on those grounds. I don't see Harry Potter fading for some time to come.

I think Ellis is a lovely name; others you might like to think about - Emerson, Elliott, Eden, Alexander, Otto, Alastair, Edward,?

I dislike it as it makes me think of envelopes & aviaries.

It's a girls' name though, isn't it?

Teri Hatcher's dd is called Emerson.

Thanks for the replies so far everyone!! According to google, Avery was commonly used for a boy originally and more recently used for a girl. So I think it can be for either

Sorry, I don't like Avery. It reminds me of weighing scales!

I love it. DH said no as it reminded him of the (male) character from the TV show Nashville, which is how I had heard of it. Use it!

I like it a lot, along with Eden, Archer and Ellis

I’m obsessed with Nashville at the moment (tv show - brilliant - if you need a recommendation) and there is a male Avery on that. I think it’s a pretty name but it is a bit ‘aviary’.

Also reminds me of the show Nashville. Love it!

I have only heard it as a boys name a d I really like it, partially because I like a very on Nashville.

I would never have made the association with Harry Potter and I've read the books a few times and seen all the films.

The only Avery I know is the man in Nashville.
I know a boy and a girl called Ellis, both in the same year at our school but luckily not the same class!

Isnt avery a weighing scales and/or name tag brand

Love the name Avery, but although I know it was originally a boys name, I much prefer it for a girl.

I love it for a girl.

Not convinced for a boy.

Makes me think of Greys anatomy! Like both names. I like Avery best x

Love it!

I love it.
I know people are using it for girls but it’s a boys name and a diminutive of Alfred!

Avery make very good print labels 😊(misses point)
