I’m a newbie to posting on here and am excited to see if the community here can help us out! [name_f]My[/name_f] husband ([name_m]Jack[/name_m]) and I are expecting our first baby (a boy) early next year and are really struggling to come up with a perfect name. We’ve narrowed it down to 2 variations of the same name :
I think [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] flows slightly better, but [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] works, too. If it helps, know that you can call him “[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]” either way. A nickname like that can come from the middle name just as well as the first name.
I think that [name_u]Avery[/name_u] is lovely for a boy, but it’s soooo popular for girls. [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] sounds perfect. Handsome, smart, classic & the nn [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] is super adorable.
I love the flow [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] And I really like how timeless [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is. It’s also a name with lots of nickname variations so it ages well too!
Ooh that tough both go very nicely with your last name
Charles [name_u]Avery[/name_u] is my favorite. But you could use [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] and still call him [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
I am a [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and I get [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]. I really do love charlie. If it wasn’t my NN I’d call a son [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] in a flash. So I vote for [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u].
This was my concern. I always think of it as a boy’s name because that is how it was originally used, but so many girl’s use it now. We don’t know any [name_u]Avery[/name_u]’s of either gender, which is why I think my husband was drawn to it, but I don’t want him to be mistaken as a girl on paper, or for people to think we are giving our son a “girly” name. Thanks for sharing my brain!
I know several Averys, but only one is a boy and I do remember he was occasionally teased. I think [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] is wonderful and I adore [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
My favourite is [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] Yarbrough I just think the flow of the name is better and I think [name_m]Charles[/name_m] sounds better with Yarbrough.
Charles [name_u]Avery[/name_u] has the best flow imo, and it gives you [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]! I usually call my little sister by her middle name (among other nicknames), so that’s a possibility for your husband.
