Names similar to Sawyer?

General Name Discussion
1

My partner and I have decided on an approach to naming our first child (who we are hoping will grace us with their presence via two little pink lines any day now) that may not be vey popular here, and that honestly would have thrown me for a loop just a few months ago. But we have decided not to find out the sex of our baby, and to settle on one first name that we will use regardless of whether the baby is a boy or a girl.

I know unisex names are not the most popular around here (or even on my own list), but I do really like the idea of those reading about my child before meeting him or her making gender blind decisions. And this is incredibly important to my partner, so unisex it is. As a compromise, the baby will have a very traditionally gendered middle name, so if they grow up and hate their first name, that’s going to be am option for them.

We both love [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] for a boy or a girl. It is kinda the perfect name for us, however, we have a two syllable last name that also ends in -er. So [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] is out, and I am sad.

Right now, our frontrunner is [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]. But I am interested in entertaining more options.

What names would you suggest with a similar feel to [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]?

I love this idea! :slight_smile: It’s such a shame you can’t use [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] as it’s truly adorable on both genders!

Lots of these kind of names end in -er but I’ll try to avoid those (I was going to suggest [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] but then realised there’s the same issue!)

The only names that truly feel as close to 50/50 odds of the person being a boy or a girl, for me, are [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] and [name_u]Avery[/name_u].
