   Yup— Avery is a (guy's) name, originally an English surname that was itself   
   derived from an Old French pronunciation of the name Alfred or the Ancient   
   Germanic name Alberich. The meaning of the name is derived from the Old   
   English words aelf, meaning    
   elf, and ric, meaning ruler, power.   
   Meaning: "Elf King" (from French) or "An Eberite ...   
   Language(s): Old French or Hebrew via Torah.   
      
   A quick search shows it as a "unisex" name, but there was no such thing when   
   the name was developed / popularized: a king is NOT a queen.  It's a guy's   
   name.   
      
   So what ideas with wings do you keep in your mental aviary?  What flights of   
   fancy would you consider indulging yourself in?
