Is Diamond a Unisex Name? Help Me Pick a Gender Neutral Name

I like the name [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] but I only want to use gender neutral names. According to gender checker it is a unisex name but I’m not so sure. I think it leans female. Opinions? Would a guy named [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] make you look twice?

Does anyone have any names similar to [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] but more gender neutral? I like names starting with “D” but I’m open to any suggestions.

I think of [name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] [name_m]Phillips[/name_m] when I hear the name.

[name_f]Diamond[/name_f] isn’t really my style but if you like it I don’t think it matters much which way it leans. It really is up to you when it’s a unisex name like this.

Oh so it is unisex? I’m glad, I was afraid of it being overly female.

Hmm…I would think that it definitely leans female. I know several female Diamonds, but never any males. Still, I suppose it could still work. It’s trendy to take names that are usually used by one gender and use them on children of the opposite gender, so I guess I wouldn’t be surprised to learn of a male [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] (but I would assume the child was female).

I’m not sure that this is any more ‘gender neutral’ but maybe [name_m]Dion[/name_m]?

It leans female in my opinion. You can say it’s technically unisex because it’s a gemstone, but that would be the same for flowers, but [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] aren’t considered unisex.

Funny story, this is what my mom wanted to name me because she loves diamonds. My dad suggested [name_f]Diana[/name_f] instead, thankfully! I would’ve hated being [name_f]Diamond[/name_f], it such a tacky name in my opinion.

I’d say [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] is definitely female. Maybe [name_u]Dominique[/name_u], I know that often is unisex.

It’s not as sharp as [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] (which I would agree leans feminine), but [name_u]Devon[/name_u] is solidly unisex. [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] is higher on the boys’ list, but I know of girls named [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] too. And [name_u]Destry[/name_u] is a slightly more fanciful name that I think straddles the feminine/masculine line. Also [name_u]Dallas[/name_u] and [name_u]Denver[/name_u].

I have to agree with this, sorry. It definitely screams girl to me, but I wouldn’t use it for either gender. It is very tacky, and I don’t think your child would appreciate being called [name_f]Diamond[/name_f]. There are plenty of better options out there. Here’s some ideas:

[name_u]Addison[/name_u]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_u]Casey[/name_u]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_u]Jamie[/name_u]
[name_u]Lennox[/name_u]
[name_u]Parker[/name_u]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Skylar[/name_u]
[name_u]Tatum[/name_u]

I went to school with a boy called [name_f]Diamond[/name_f], so there is potential for it to be unisex.

As it’s a gemstone I feel that it is unisex.
I agree with the [name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] [name_m]Phillips[/name_m] reference.

My initial reaction was very “omg that’s a girl’s name”, but the more I think about it the more I actually like it for a boy. I think you could expect that reaction a lot, so as long as you’re ok with that, you could consider it to be unisex. The kid would probably get some double-takes, but people would get used to it a lot easier than if you named a boy something like [name_f]Lily[/name_f].

I don’t think [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] is unisex, personally.

My great grandfather was named Dimond. I think [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] leans feminine but maybe changing the spelling would help?

Personally, I see feminine. I think [name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] [name_m]Phillips[/name_m] works because you’re always using his full name. So, as a middle for a boy it could work. Not saying you could not use it, but if you’re looking for something truly unisex I wouldn’t put it in that catagory. I think [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], [name_u]Cameron[/name_u], [name_m]Aston[/name_m] are, or if you’re looking for unisex gemstones… maybe [name_u]Ruby[/name_u].

If you had me guess whether [name_f]Diamond[/name_f] was a male or a female, I would guess female, but I wouldn’t automatically assume that. If I met a male named [name_f]Diamond[/name_f], I wouldn’t think twice about it.

I think it’s female. But tbh, I would think twice before using it. I don’t think it’s a very wearable name.

I would find it weird as a first name on any gender if I’m totally honest. I don’t see it as a name at all. I would say definitely female though, along with all the other gemstone name; [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f].

I guess if it was in the middle spot on a boy though it could work
