Avery ranks number 19 for girls on the most recent 2020 social security administration's baby name popularity list. I love this name and am actually surprised it isn't even more popular.

I saw that someone below said Avery is primarily a male name outside the US. This is not true.
In 2018, Canada, UK, Ireland, and New Zealand used the name Avery for a girl (along with some other countries but the numbers were less than 5). In fact, the ratio of girl/boy in these countries similarly reflects the US usage as it was used in much greater abundance for girls compared to boys. The UK is the exception to this as they had about equal boys and girls named Avery in 2018 (98 girls, 91 boys).
I don’t care what gender it is used for, I just wanted to point this out.

Avery is an old English derivative of Alfred. I wouldn't want to name my girl Alfred. Outside of the US, it is primarily a boy's name. Avery is often on lists like Popular English Boy Names.
It's only been recognized by the Social Security Administration as a girl's name in the United States since 1989, but a boy's name since tracking began in 1900.

I've only known 2 Avery's in my life and they were both girls. I never knew it was used as a boy's name until I came here. I hate it as a boy's name and I feel like it would get made fun of as a boy's name. I can't see any aged boy named Avery. I think its beautiful for girls though.

Maybe Avera, Averia, Avra, Averine, Averetta, Avrietta, Averinia, Averice, Averina, Averita or Averie for girls (or just Avery) and Avery is also a good boy name. It is a very good name for girls or boys, and I like it as a unisex name. The feminine forms are good and so is Avery, and Avery for boys. It is becoming feminine over the years and will be all feminine like Alexis, Ami, Alix, so on soon and is to some people.

100% a boys name with a lot of history. People should not name girls Avery as it is way too masculine. I see a lot of Avery men all over the US and Scandinavia, I see Avery girls in Walmart mostly.
I don't know what the feminine version of this regal name is, but there are a ton of beautiful feminine names to choose from. Good boy names are already hard to come by.

To me, this is one of the few names that really can go both ways. I have a daughter named Avery but an in-law that just named their son Avery. I like it equally for a boy or a girl. It's more common for a girl but I wouldn't be taken aback if I were introduced to a male Avery.

I named my son Avery after my Grandfather. It is ultra masculine for a guy and doesn't work well on a girl. Reminds me of girls I went to school with named Jordan or Alex. Seems like a cruel joke to give your daughter a strong male name, like the flip side to a boy named Sue.

Wow everyone calm down! This name is not a MALE name it's a unisex name. And I'm sorry if that bothers you but that's the way it is so get over it.
I think this name is ultra girly, and I tried to see it as masculine, but it just sounds so cute and feminine.
In 2010 6,633 girls were named Avery, and only 1,686 boys named it.

According to the 2007 Social Security list, the name Avery continues to increase in popularity for girls - it is now ranked #48. However, it has started its decline for boys - dropping 10 spots to #221. It has definitely "gone to the girls" as some say. Following the path of names like Beverly, Vivian, Kimberly, Kelly. I think it's a wonderful, modern name for a girl.

We named our daughter Avery Kathleen in 1988. At the time, Avery was practically unknown as a girl's name; I believe it makes a very strong girl's name.
Murphy Brown (TV) significantly changed the popularity of the name; she named her son Avery in honor of her mother (or grandmother), who was named Avery.
I have encountered far more boys than girls named Avery, though the polls clearly indicate its popularity as a girl's name.
