[Opinions] Alas, no
I like Beverly for a boy, but I wouldn't use it nowadays for a boy, except maybe for as a middle name if it were a family surname.There has been one notable male Beverly in history: Beverly Hemings (b. 1798), possible son of Thomas Jefferson by his slave Sally Hemings. Interestingly, this Beverly also had a brother who was named Madison (1805-1877); his other siblings were Tom (b. 1790), Harriet (b. 1795), another Harriet (b. 1801), and Eston (male, b. 1808). See Sally Hemings on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Hemings.
