Do Avery and Maria go together?

Name Advice
1

Naming the second is HARD! Husband and I are struggling. We have daughter [name_u]Avery[/name_u], and are considering [name_u]Maria[/name_u] for baby girl #2. Are the name styles complimentary or different?

I would say they are different, but not so different that it’s odd in any way! Plus, I’m a big fan of “mismatched” sib sets :wink:

They are different, but not in a bad way! I would also suggest [name_f]Mara[/name_f].

To be perfectly honest, I don’t think that Avery and Maria “match” as siblings.

However, that’s not the end of the world, and there’s nothing objectively wrong with “mismatched” sibsets. If Maria is the name, I say go for it. Lots of siblings have names that don’t “match” and there is absolutely no rule anywhere saying that sibling names should match.

Avery and Maria are both lovely names, by the way.

But if it does bother you that they may not “match” and you’d like other options, here’s a few names you might like that are similar to Maria but match Avery a little more (at least in my opinion):

  • Avery & Aria
  • Avery & Maya
  • Avery & Marian
  • Avery & Mariah
  • Avery & Maren

I don’t think sibling sets need to go together , as eventually when they are adults most people won’t know their relatives

I think [name_u]Avery[/name_u] is a little more popular than [name_u]Maria[/name_u] is at the moment . However [name_u]Maria[/name_u] is certainly timeless and elegant , and international.

I do love the suggestion of [name_u]Avery[/name_u] and [name_f]Maren[/name_f] or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] . And I think [name_u]Marley[/name_u] and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] are sweet together

13

I don’t think they go together (stylistically quite different and all), but I do love them together!! I love a mismatched sibset. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

14

I think it’s fine to use [name_u]Avery[/name_u] and [name_u]Maria[/name_u] even though they are a bit different style. They don’t grate and I think you should choose what you love! If you are looking for more suggestions maybe you would like [name_f]Marina[/name_f], meaning ‘from the sea’.

15

Not in a bad way at all! I think [name_u]Avery[/name_u] and [name_u]Maria[/name_u] are very different, but they would make perfect sisters!

16

Tbh they sound very mismatched but I love [name_u]Maria[/name_u] so maybe it’s not a big issue. Who cares anyway

17

They don’t “match” as sibling names, but there isn’t anything wrong with that, sibling names don’t always have to go well together.

18

complimentary LOVE IT!

They’re very different stylistically, but you could make it work

As soon as I saw this question I started singing ave [name_u]Maria[/name_u] :musical_score:

Anyways moving away from that gorgeous music connotation I think [name_u]Avery[/name_u] & [name_u]Maria[/name_u] are a little mismatched. There are not a cohesive sibling set. They do feel a bit random. However I don’t think you necessarily have to have cohesion with a sibling set. There is nothing wrong with [name_u]Robert[/name_u] & [name_f]Blakelynn[/name_f] for example. Of course they feel mismatched as [name_u]Robert[/name_u] is very traditional whereas [name_f]Blakelynn[/name_f] is a modern smoosh name of course [name_u]Robert[/name_u] & [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] sound better together but if the parent loves the name [name_f]Blakelynn[/name_f] they should go for it. That’s a very similar thought process to you with [name_u]Avery[/name_u] & [name_u]Maria[/name_u] if you love [name_u]Maria[/name_u] go for it.

I do prefer [name_f]Maren[/name_f] in general and I think [name_f]Maren[/name_f] works wonders with [name_u]Avery[/name_u] a very stylish sibling set :white_heart:
