  1. 1. I really loved how gender neutral the name is.
    2. It took us almost 4 years to get pregnant and he was finally conceived through our second round of in vitro fertilization. Our journey and struggle made him “a very” special little boy!
    3. We’re a bit nerdy and I thought the name’s meaning- ruler of elves- was pretty adorable.

  2. My husband was inspired by Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The actor’s name is James Avery.

  3. I loved the meaning, “Protector of the Innocent” and how it sounded with his middle name, Avery Duncan. The only thing I don’t really like is that it doesn’t exactly have a built in Nickname.
