Avery, on a girl, is trendy, overdone, and soon to be outdated, but Tatum is spunky and cute. I would definitely spell the mn properly though- Carys.

Tatum Carys is nice.

I have to tell you that I LOVE your names. Its a really hard choice because they are both gorgeous and go with Karys very well. Don't be fooled by the common-ness of Avery. I don't think its as common as people say it is. You hear it, but don't know too many people named it...at least I don't. Tatum I love because its so different, but not in a weird way. Its on my list of "names that my dh will never let me use" ;(


I don't think you'll lose either way with these names-I'm going with Tatum Karys.

Neither are my style, but I prefer Avery for a girl to Tatum. I LOVE Carys, but with that spelling. The Karys spelling just looks mis-spelled for the sake of being trendy.

I agree. Carys rather than Karys. Tatum Carys of those choices, but I like Carys Tatum even more.

I love both names, but agree that the spelling Carys looks better. It's softer and less trendy. The name itself is already taken off so quickly and is very popular ... so to make it even trendier wouldn't be my style.

I agree that Avery sounds very trendy, but I've never met one girl or person with that name. I think we hear it more in discussion than actual people who name their children Avery (or maybe it's a geographic thing).

I like Avery Carys best!

I have never like the name Avery because I had a cat with that name growing up, for some reason it seems like a pets name or a child's name, not an adults name. As for Karys, I love the name, because thats what me and dh are naming this bean when she's born in a couple of weeks, but we're going with the right spelling of Carys. I would def. choose Tatum over Avery, IMO.

Totally off topic, but I love your son's name - what has "the world's" reaction been to it? I did a thread here about it and got mixed reaction, but no one had actually met a little guy named Rylan. I love it because - I love Ryan, but it is so popular and I think it is a nice variation on it.
We have very similar naming tastes:)
