I have two sons and I gave them strong male names. I would never name them something girly with the "ly" ending. I know many Avery's, Madisons and Riley's and they are all girls. Same with Addison..girl's name. My son even goes to school with an Ayden (girl) Love the name Harper too (makes me think of Harper Lee..a girl!) we considered the name well we are naming our daughter (due this winter) Finley..to me it is a girl name.

I have TWIN BOYS named HARPER & FINNLEY!!!! They were born in March 2007. We love those names and thought they were unique and not overly popular. But now that a celebrity used them ...forget it. They'll be on next years top baby names list! I still think they are wonderful...as BOY names! Well, I was actually upset when I heard. I have TWIN BOYS named HARPER & FINNLEY!!!!

How cool is it that MY daughter (Age 13) shares the same name as Elvis's granddaughter. Cool. Cool. Cool. And, as a musician mother, I tell ya', I will happily accept any tie between my family and that of Elvis's! Great choice Lisa Marie!

I have alot of people telling me I named my boys girls names but I tell them Ashley was one of the characters in "Gone with the Wind and that was in the 1930s. Ashleigh is a girls name and so is Ashlee but Ashley is a boys name to me. I named my boys Ashley and Kelley which were at the time boys names until every little girl in the USA got the names.

Oops…I always considered Avery a “girl” name. Sorry Miss M!

I HATE boy names for girls. I agree with someone else who said its disrespectful to the culture and almost SEXIST.

Besides, wouldn’t you want your daughter to have a beautiful, feminine sounding name?

What’s next, naming boys “Sophia”?

My son’s name is Jackson Avery and whenever I tell people that, they say “isn’t Avery a girls name??”

No! It seriously is so annoying when people say that! Its a MALE name and should stay a male name.

I considered giving my son the first name Avery, but lots of people said it was too feminine. I really love the name so I didn’t toss it out completely, I decided to use it as his middle name and I STILL comments about it even though its just a middle name.

Stop the trend now!!!!! Avery is a beautiful, classic baby BOY name. Stop naming your daughters Avery before “Avery” is known only as a girl name and older male Averies are made fun of!
