Need help! Avari or Avery for a girl

I like Avari -i have had a hard time finding this spelling though. I have found it on some baby names sites, but not really in any baby name books. This is ok with me, I am trying to be a bit original.

I like it said w/ 3 syllables- Av-a-ri.

What do you think?

I don't really like creative spellings but Avari isn't to bad. Its nms but when I see it I can still tell that its avery.

I would mispronounce this spelling. If I saw Avari I would say it Uh-VAH-ree, with emphasis on the second syllable. I don't know why I would pronounce it this way but that is what I thought it was when I 1st read it.

I would never think to pronounce Avari and Avery the same way. Remember the video game Atari? I would pronounce Avari this way, obviously with a V instead of T.

I agree- if you hadn't put both spellings in the subject I would have thought it rhymed with Atari. I really love the name though- I think Avery would be beautiful. If you want to go with an I ending, I prefer Averi over Avari, with an e in the middle so its more recognizable and easier to pronounce. Good luck!

To be honest, Avari looks like the name of a car or a financial services company. If it reflected your ethnic heritage, then it might be worth the hassle of constantly spelling and explaining it. Avery is nms, but easier to spell and pronounce.

I don't like names that no one will know how to spell when they hear it...
so I vote Avery.

Hi, no offense intended but that name AVARI sounds like
a bird sanctuary. Is this your intention? Try Ameri or A'merie
even A'vry. Good luck,
Jai
