Comments and insights on the name Waverly: | Edit

My 3 year old daughter is named Waverly and I am amazed that almost every time the doctor's office calls they think she's male. This has been multiple offices over her entire 3.5 years! Does it really sound masculine? I liken the name to "Beverly" and that sounds feminine to me so I really don't get it. Or they'll mispronounce it and say "WAH-ver-lee" instead of "WAY-ver-lee". Go figure.

My boyfriend has a half-sister named Waverly and although I had never heard the name before meeting her, it seemed fitting on a little girl. There is also a town called Waverly near where I live.
