    boy names used for a girl, now too girly?

    I love the names Avery, Quinn and Parker. they are unisex names. I love them for a girl and like them for a boy but have they transitioned to mostly girls with these names now?

    I think they are still perfect for either gender.

    I also still love them for a boy. I adore the name Avery for a boy or a girl - I also like Quinn and Parker too but I've just always really liked Avery.

    My twin I lost, we named Emery - we didn't know gender and I felt it worked for either. It was my great-grandpa's name.

    I don't know/haven't heard of any girls called Parker - I think that's an odd choice for a girl!

    Avery is at the top of the list for a boy... I've never seen a girl named Avery so never even knew it was unisex

    I think they are unisex, but to me they are all more boyish. I don't personally know any girls named Parker, but there is the actress, Parker Posey. I love Avery for a boy, but my dh has shot it down any time I suggest it.

    I only know girls that are Avery! It's very popular and has been for a girl for about 10 years. The catalog Pottery Barn Kids started it with 'Avery' monogrammed on a pink girl's towel years ago.

    I know baby boys and girls named Parker. I only know baby girls named Avery and I know no Quinns. That being said I really like all three names for boy or girl
    (born March, 2012)--IVF at RMANY (no GS for first one since no real preference-said we'd do it for second one)--23 eggs--12 fertilized with ICSI--1 frozen

    March/April 2013--SIRM NY--23 eggs, 15 embryos, 2 girls transferred, 1 girl and 1 unknown (only 4 celled at day 3 so no biopsy) frozen. BFP on HPT at 6dp5dt, Beta at 8dp5dt=70, Beta at 10dp5dt=216 , 1 hb at 6 weeks, ob appt at 7w2d--wow it's twins!!! CVS--2 HEALTHY GIRLS! Our twin girls were born 6 weeks early, but doing fabulously and we are so in love!! Our family is complete!!!
