Why choose a unisex baby name?

Unisex baby names are names that can be given to a boy or girl and are a great choice for various reasons. Maybe you’re choosing not to find out the gender of your baby but want to lock in a name ahead of their arrival. After all, those monogrammed towels and personalized nursery decor items aren’t going to order themselves… Maybe you’re wanting to give your child a non-binary start in life to possibly reduce the chance of sexism in their future. If you just want them to have fluidity with their gender, choosing a unisex name means they won’t have to deal with the constraints of a traditional girl’s or boy’s name later in life. Maybe you just love a certain name regardless of gender or are looking for something cool and unique. We hear ya! Lots of parents are choosing unisex names, so although it’s a relatively new trend at the moment, by the time your little one is off to school, we’re pretty sure there will be plenty of other kids with unisex names in their class.

So, what are good unisex names?

What makes a good unisex name? As with any name choice, it’s important that the name flows well with your surname and whatever middle name you choose. Practice saying it out loud, writing it down, and checking that the initials don’t spell out anything awkward! Some unisex baby names originated as family surnames, so they can have a more formal vibe, which is great if you imagine your little peanut growing up to be a big boss one day. Other gender neutral baby names can have a more modern or unique style. Unisex names with a whimsical sound that might be inspired by nature are a perfect choice too if you’re imagining your baby being more free-spirited. Many names that are now considered unisex started out as a name that was specifically for one gender — in particular, using traditional boy names for girls has become more common. Celebrities are doing it left, right, and center, so why shouldn’t we all?! So here it is, our roundup of the best 138 genderless names for your little peanut.
