@greyblue - thank you! I see a few on your list I totally forgot about!

I like that most of your “unisex” names are actually “unisex.” I like a lot of the names overall, and I like that you’ve got some names on your boy’s list that might be considered more feminine than masculine, like [name_u]Juniper[/name_u].

I completely agree with this whole sentiment. I really love that you had [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] on that list! My partner and I both really love [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] for a boy but probably wouldn’t use it just because most people somehow perceive it as solely feminine. (I can’t for the life of me understand why, to me it works equally well for either gender.)

I firmly believe that nature names are fair game for anyone, especially something like [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]!
