Can't decide between Caroline Mason and Avery Mason for a girl. Caroline seems to be getting too common. Baby will be here in one week and we need to decide! Your input would be so helpful!

Thanks!

Caroline Mason, for 2 reasons.


A) It's a classic that never goes far from style, gently moving up and down through generations without ever disappearring into odd obscurity (Eunice, Myrtle) or suddenly appearring from nowhere, rocketing up and then dying out (Bertha once,

If I heard of a child named Avery Mason I would most definitely think of a boy. So, because of that, I vote for Caroline - very pretty.

Caroline is one of my all-time favorite names. It's beautiful and classical. YOu can't go wrong with it.

I personally don't like boys' names used for girls. If you do decide to use Avery though please reconsider the middle name. Avery Mason will always appear to be a boy. THe MN should claerly be feminine. WOuld you consider Avery Caroline?

I wouldn't not use Caroline because it's becoming popular. It's a timeless name and will never seem dated. Avery, on the other hand, is trendy and will be dated by the time she's a teenager.
