I wrote down the name Avery as a name I loved for a future son of mine in my journal when I was in college back in 1994 and had to read Charlotte's Web for my children's lit class. The little boy in the book's name was Avery and I just fell in love with it..and that book was written in 1952..so to me it was a boy's name way before it was a girl's name. Until very recently I've only ever known of one other Avery and he's about 79 years old lol. Now all of a sudden though there are girl Averys everywhere. I guess, the reason it bothers me is like what Shawna said...there are SO MANY cute names for girls out there...why take all the boy names too? But I get that it's trendy and it's now a unisex name...but so many people seem to think it's only a girls name which is what bugs me about it kwim? I don't want DS to grow up thinking I gave him a girly name.
BTW..I hope I'm not sounding snarky about this b/c I'm not meaning to lol...
