Avery is redeemable with a different middle name. London is a mess.

How can it be trashy AND pretentious?

Uh, pretending not to be trashy but failing? Pretentious and trashy often go hand in hand.

I think people are saying that it’s trying too hard. Because it falls short of the sophistication that most will assume you’re trying to confer with the name London, it comes off as trashy instead.

Avery. If you have to use London at least hide it in the middle.

There were 2,339 baby-girl Londons and 345 baby-boy Londons born in 2016, so evidently it is a first name.

I vote Avery with a different middle name or Avery as a middle name.
No city names. It sounds either rich/snobby or lower class trying to be aspirational.

+ 1 people who give their kids city names have frequently never even visited the city! Just think of all the little Brooklyn’s running around the heartland whose parents have never visited NYC, never will, and actually hate almost everything about the place if they really stop to think about it.

Good lord, people, there is nothing trashy about the name Avery or London. I just don't like them together. I like Avery for a first name and I think something feminine for a middle.

OP, have you ever even been to London?

Really bad names. But if you had to choose one, like life or death, then Avery.

Haha! I like you and agree with you

I'd pick one, but not both together. Bolster with a traditional first or middle name;

Avery Cecilia Smith

Evelyn London Smith

London Hannah Smith

Julia Avery Smith

Also, I work in preschool and Avery is very popular now. Double check Social Security's name stats site for more info and to check on popularity, of that's at all a concern.
