girl or boy name?

[Anonymous]

when you hear the following names, do you think of a girl, boy, or either?

avery

aubrey

emery

would you name or not name your child one of these names because of its unisex character?

[Anonymous]

All girls, with the possible exception of Aubrey. I wouldn't give any of them to a boy.

[Anonymous]

I would say all have traditionally been male names but now see a lot of female use.

[Anonymous]

I also think girl, but I think I've heard of a boy emery.

[Anonymous]

I'd say girl, both, both, but would only name a girl any of those names. Anyone have any thoughts on Logan (boy v. girl)?

[Anonymous]

Avery, aubry, emery - all girl, in that order of girl --> unisex. I know 2 Avery's (girls) - don't know any children with the other names.

Logan - definitely a boy. Biased by actually knowing one.

[Anonymous]

Names in the OP -- all girl.

Logan -- all boy.

[Anonymous]

actually I would have thought boy for emery
and girl for Logan

[Anonymous]

babynames.com says Avery, Aubrey and Logan are all both and Emery is a boy's name only but I agree with PP's that OP's names all sound like girls' namesand Logan is more boy.

To me, Avery is a boy, Aubrey is a girl. Emery can be either, esp. if it's spelled Amory.

Avery--girl. Aubrey and Emory: boys

Logan--haver heard it for both, either, but mostly boys.

2008 popularity:

Avery: 5,758 girls; 1,731 boys (Averie: 376 girls; Averi: 274 girls)

Aubrey: 5,498 girls; fewer than 192 boys (Aubree: 1,218 girls; Aubrie: 666 girls)

Emery: 669 girls; 300 boys

Based on numbers, looks like Aubrey is most associated with girls now, followed by Avery, with Emery being the most ambiguous of the three.

Logan: 13,705 boys; 726 girls. Still very boyish.

Avery--girl but I wouldn't be scandalized to hear it for a boy

Aubrey--girl

Emery--girl, but this is kind of a wierd spelling. Emory seems more like a boy. Don't know why.

Logan--mostly boy but I do know one girl by that name

Avery - girl, but doesn't sound too girly on a boy
Aubrey - same as Avery
Emery - girl
Logan - boy

The only name I would consider for naming my own DS would be Logan

[Anonymous]

Avery - boy, although have a new neice named Avery, so my perception will probably change. I think it's definitely trending feminine.
Aubrey - girl
Emery - girl, although if it were spelled Emory I'd probably think boy.
Logan - more boy (Baby Sitters Club, anyone?), but easily a girl name, too.

I'd consider Avery and Logan for a boy. Although, in terms of names trending feminine or whatever, I've heard of two girls named Noah recently, so it appears that if you're really worried about picking a name that a girl might also have, nothing is safe.
