Do you consider Avery to be a boy name or girl name?

Question

My husband says it’s more of a girl name but I think it’s gender neutral and can be used for either or.

Answer

Traditionally, it’s a boys name. But it’s been used for girls more and more after the past few decades. Similar to names like Madison. Though I think it’s more common to hear a boy named Avery than Madison.

Answer

I have an Avery James!! Before we knew he was a boy i told my husband I liked Avery for a girl and he said he’d only heard it as a boys name so we just decided boy or girl the name was Avery! I think it’s a great unisex name.

Answer

I had never heard of it being a girl's name before I went on baby name forums and always thought of it as a boys only name but now I guess it is becoming a unisex name. I am also from New Zealand so maybe it is different in different countries?
