We’re expecting our 2nd baby, our son is Emrys George and we having our girls name already picked out but no name for another boy. We both really like Avery, I think it goes quite well with Emrys. We also liked Silas but thought that may be too similar sounding to Emrys. Middle name will be Jack. Wdyt?

Avery = sheets of labels to me.

I’m really not bothered about it being more common as a girls name. I know no Avery’s female or male in my area and it’s still not super popular even for a girl so that doesn’t put me off at all.

Thank you all for your comments though, we still have a little while to think and I’m sure when baby is born we will know their name so will have a bit of a think.

Love your choice of names Emrys and Avery. Avery derives from the old English name Alfred
