The Most Gender Neutral Name Ever

For a character, but also an interesting discussion, and this is my only qualification.

I need a name that is as universally unisex as possible. Preferably not too trendy, but unisex is in right now so I’m not gonna be tooooo picky on that.

Meaning is great! Also not required.

Please and thank you!

The names that I feel are the most ambiguous in terms of gender are the ones that tend to be more generic and popular; I usually find them so due to knowing at least three of each gender. [name_u]Taylor[/name_u], for example, comes to mind.
But ones that are less popular but still gender-neutral are nature names. Since words (at least in English) don’t have a gender, I find these to be the most androgynous. [name_f]Cypress[/name_f], [name_u]Sequoia[/name_u], [name_u]Linden[/name_u] and other tree names are the most gender-neutral names of the botanical and natural sector, [name_f]IMO[/name_f].

[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] or [name_u]Artemis[/name_u].

To me, [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is the most gender neutral name, there seems to be a mostly even number of boys and girls with that name. Or there are names like [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_u]Taylor[/name_u], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u].

[name_u]Sam[/name_u], [name_u]Chris[/name_u], [name_u]Alex[/name_u]… you just don’t know what the nickname stands for. I find that these names make you want to see the person before assuming the person’s gender. However, they are definitely not uncommon.

The obvious examples are the unisex nicknames — Alex, Chris, Sam, Lou — which are more or less equally popular for both genders.

Then there’s the nature/word names: Rowan, Sage, Sky, Ocean, Robin, Dakota, Haven, Indigo.

There are a few “legitimate” English unisex names have a history of being used for both genders. Most of them have gone exclusively boy (Bennet, Philip, Christian, Julian, Averill) or girl (Evelyn, Joyce, Florence, Vivian), but there are a few that are still used on both genders: Morgan, Aubrey, Ellery, Dana, Carol, Lauren, Micaiah, Angel, Valentine.

Then you have masculine names & surnames that are used on girls but still more-or-less used for both genders: Lee, Alexis, Taylor, Casey, Bailey, Kelly, Kendall, Whitney.

Then you have the French “prénoms épicènes”: Claude, Dominique, Camille, Maxime (the latter two probably not considered unisex by English speakers).

Definitely [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] for me.

The one name I don’t automatically link to one gender is probably [name_u]Francis[/name_u] (b)/[name_f]Frances[/name_f] (g), spelt differently, but said the same. [name_u]Linden[/name_u]'s another one I’m slightly unsure about.

I think [name_u]River[/name_u] and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] are super super neutral. So is [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] in my opinion, but that one is more common for a girl in the US.

[name_u]Taylor[/name_u] is definitely the most unisex name ever in my mind.

Some that I didn’t see mentioned:
[name_u]Angel[/name_u]
[name_u]Paris[/name_u]
[name_u]Lane[/name_u]
[name_u]Lee[/name_u]/[name_u]Leigh[/name_u]
[name_u]Leslie[/name_u]
[name_u]Sydney[/name_u]/[name_u]Sidney[/name_u]
[name_u]Sandy[/name_u]
[name_u]Jody[/name_u]
[name_u]Jamie[/name_u]
[name_u]Blair[/name_u] and [name_u]Blake[/name_u] are ones that I would wonder. Unless I knew their age. Also [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u].

[name_f]Bailee[/name_f], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], [name_u]Lyric[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_u]Alex[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]

[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_u]Sam[/name_u]
[name_u]Taylor[/name_u]
[name_u]Bailey[/name_u]
[name_u]Alex[/name_u]
[name_u]Sidney[/name_u]
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_u]Ashley[/name_u]
[name_u]Lindsey[/name_u]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_u]Jo[/name_u]
[name_u]Jackie[/name_u]
[name_u]Billy[/name_u]
[name_u]Carmen[/name_u]
[name_u]Casey[/name_u]
[name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_f]Erin[/name_f]

[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_u]Corey[/name_u]
[name_u]Casey[/name_u]

[name_u]Alex[/name_u] or [name_u]Charlie[/name_u].

Definitely [name_u]River[/name_u] & [name_u]Sage[/name_u] for me

[name_u]Taylor[/name_u] was the one I thought of before I even opened the thread. Have known equal amounts of boys and girls, and it is masculine and feminine to me at the same time.

It might be seem strange to others but with the amount of male [name_u]Ashley[/name_u]'s I knew and grew up with in the UK and the amount of teenage girls named [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] in Australia I see it as a gender neutral name, though that more applies to the UK.

Other names would be gender neutral nicknames like [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_u]Alex[/name_u] and [name_u]Sam[/name_u]. I also think [name_u]Remi[/name_u]/[name_u]Remy[/name_u], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] and [name_u]River[/name_u] are pretty gender neutral.

[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]
[name_u]Taylor[/name_u]
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_u]Alex[/name_u]

I can only think of [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] but I found this site which compares the number of boys with the name and the number or girls, Uncovering the Most Gender Neutral Names and by their statistics [name_u]Milan[/name_u] is the most gender neutral name.
