Hello…we are surprise pregnant with our 4th and don’t know the gender yet…my first 2 boys are named [name_m]Zaden[/name_m] and [name_m]Kellam[/name_m], my daughter’s name is Landrie…I like Avett for a boy…but wanted to see how people think it “goes” with my other names…any girl ideas at all? I like names that are different, but not weird, I’d rather not repeat first letters (so no more L names for a girl, or Z and K names), and all the names now have 2 syllables, so I’d love to keep that going only to prevent name shortening…lots of rules, I know!
Are you considering Avett because you like the band? (The Avett Brothers) I had to look it up because I’ve never heard this name before and that was all I could find about it! It is like a smash-up of [name_u]Avery[/name_u] & [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], but it looks slightly feminine to me. (!?) Avett as in [name_f]Yvette[/name_f], [name_f]Anette[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Bridgett[/name_f], etc. [name_m]Even[/name_m] when pronounced as I believe it’s meant to be, AY-vit, it still reminds me of girl names - [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Avis[/name_f], etc. So personally I wouldn’t use it for a boy but yes I think it “fits” with your other kids’ names.
I would say that your naming “style” is trendy/creative with a strong preference for surnames as first names. So I would suggest for you:
Congrats on your pregnancy and welcome to Nameberry! Avett “fits” with your children’s names but I would use it for a girl. As peanut states in her previous post, it’s quite similar to many females names. Here are some other suggestions.
[name_m]Zaden[/name_m], [name_m]Kellam[/name_m], Landrie and brother…
When you said Avett, my first thought was [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] as well just like a previous post! My children are also named not the usual… but I do like the name [name_m]Darius[/name_m] and haven’t a baby I could name that too yet!
My 3 boys names are: [name_m]Bosco[/name_m], [name_m]Duane[/name_m] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] & [name_m]Jarvis[/name_m] and my little girls name is [name_f]Scotia[/name_f]!
