Favorite Unisex Names?

General Name Discussion
1

I really like a lot of unisex names for girls, but (and I think this is also true for most people) don’t really like many for boys.

Some of my favorite unisex names I like on girls are:
[name]Sean[/name]
[name]Dakota[/name]
[name]Chandler[/name]
[name]Ellis[/name]
[name]Elliott[/name]
[name]Shiloh[/name]
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Evan[/name] (Though it would probably be a nickname for [name]Evangeline[/name])
[name]Charlie[/name] (Though it would probably be a nickname for [name]Charlotte[/name])

And the couple that I do like for boys:
[name]Dakota[/name] (Though this is pretty equal)
[name]Dallas[/name]
[name]Shiloh[/name]
[name]Blue[/name]

What are some of your favorite unisex names? Either gender

There’s a difference between true unisex names and boy names occasionally used on girls. [name]Chandler[/name], [name]Elliott[/name], [name]Sean[/name], [name]Noah[/name], and [name]Evan[/name] are all boys names used on girls.

I like [name]Harper[/name] for a boy. That’s all I can think of right now.

Yeah but most people just call them unisex names anyway. So that’s what I was referring to.

The only difference is popularity - “true unisex” names are about 50/50, equally common for either sex. That’s a bit nitpicky and would severely restrict the scope of this thread, and I think it’s a fun thread, so it’ll be nice to cast aside that requirement, at least for now.

I like…

For both: Dylan (absolute favorite), Rowan, Harper, James, Josie, Shiloh, Charlie, Evan, Hadley, Morgan, Sage
For girls: Brett, Alex, Elliott, Bryce, Luca, Will, Max, Shane
For boys: Whitney, Cary, Lane, Sasha, Chelsea, Izzy, Kelly, Sidney

Ohmygosh. Some of those are really out of the box. :open_mouth:

My favorite is [name]Ryan[/name].

I’m not a fan of unisex names in general, so this list is short, but…
Boys - [name]Mackenzie[/name], [name]Casey[/name]
Girls - [name]Taylor[/name], [name]Jamie[/name]
[name]Both[/name] - [name]Jesse[/name], [name]Morgan[/name]

I’m guilty of liking the boy names [name]Logan[/name] and [name]Spencer[/name] on girls, but would never use them.

I also like [name]Teagan[/name] for a girl.

I like [name]Shannon[/name] on boys.

Only boys: [name]Aubrey[/name], [name]Ellis[/name], [name]Emerson[/name], [name]Grayson[/name], [name]Jude[/name], [name]Kellan[/name], [name]Logan[/name], [name]Sawyer[/name]
Only girls: [name]Avery[/name], [name]Meredith[/name], [name]Riley[/name]
Names I’d love to hear on either: [name]Alexis[/name], [name]Ashley[/name], [name]Lane[/name], [name]Micah[/name], [name]Morgan[/name], [name]Rory[/name], [name]Rowan[/name], [name]Sasha[/name], [name]Whitney[/name]

I definitely lean towards the feminine side when it comes to unisex names.

Only boys: [name]Reeve[/name]

Only girls: [name]Indiana[/name], [name]Bellamy[/name], [name]Rory[/name], [name]Rowan[/name], [name]Sawyer[/name], [name]Layne[/name], [name]Tegan[/name], [name]Adair[/name]

12

[name]Shiloh[/name], [name]Harlow[/name] and [name]Rowan[/name]. [name]Shiloh[/name] I prefer for boys, [name]Harlow[/name] and [name]Rowan[/name] I like on both.

[name]EDIT[/name]: I love [name]Paris[/name] for a boy. For a girl I quite like it too (don’t shoot me, berries!), but [name]Paris[/name] on a boy; I would swoon.

These are what I like as unisex names…

Girls: [name]Dillon[/name](Only in this spelling), [name]Emerson[/name], [name]Addison[/name]
[name]Both[/name]: [name]Peyton[/name], [name]Jordan[/name]

That’s pretty much it. I don’t care much for boys having a “girly” name. That’s just me. I have see where it actually sounds good for a boy, but they had strong male middle names to make it more masculine sounding.

If I were ever going to give my child a unisex name, it would be one of these (from their respective slots):

B&G: [name]Jamie[/name] - [name]Kerry[/name] - [name]Rowan[/name]

B: [name]Shiloh[/name] - [name]Stacey[/name] - [name]Indigo[/name] - [name]Ashley[/name]

G: [name]Noel[/name] - [name]Audrey[/name] - [name]India[/name] - [name]Leslie[/name]
