I’d like some suggestions for unisex names.
I currently like the name [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], but I wanted to get some more/other suggestions. Preferably common names (or at least names that are familiar) within [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_u]America[/name_u].
Thanks all

Unisex with a more feminine feel: [name_u]Chelsea[/name_u], [name_u]Courtney[/name_u], [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], [name_u]Ashley[/name_u], [name_u]Jamie[/name_u], [name_u]Shannon[/name_u], [name_u]Cory[/name_u], [name_u]Jacky[/name_u], [name_u]Sandy[/name_u], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], [name_u]Kim[/name_u], [name_u]Leslie[/name_u], [name_u]Rene/name_u.
Unisex with a more masculine feel: [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Robin[/name_u], [name_u]Sky[/name_u], [name_u]Logan[/name_u], [name_u]Michel/name_u, [name_m]Christian[/name_m], [name_u]Alex[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_u]Angel[/name_u], [name_u]Drew[/name_u], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u].
These are names I’ve heard in real life for both boys and girls. All late 90s, early 2000s, Northeastern USA.
[name_u]Kerry[/name_u]
[name_u]Casey[/name_u]
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u]
[name_u]Alex[/name_u]–but I’ve only ever heard it as a full name on a boy (although most of the male [name_u]Alexes[/name_u] I’ve known had the full name of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m])
[name_u]Sandy[/name_u]
[name_u]Angel[/name_u]–but I think this is an ethnic split, with it being male for Latinos and female otherwise, which I wouldn’t really call gender neutral
[name_u]Taylor[/name_u]
[name_u]Jackie[/name_u]/[name_u]Jacky[/name_u]–but I’ve only ever heard it as a full name on a boy, and I also perceive [name_u]Jacky[/name_u] as masculine and [name_u]Jackie[/name_u] as feminine
[name_u]Avi[/name_u] --but I’ve only ever heard it as a full name on a boy; the girl [name_u]Avi[/name_u] I knew had the full name of [name_f]Javiera[/name_f]
[name_u]Sam[/name_u] --but I’ve only ever heard it as a full name on a boy (although most of the male Sams I’ve known had the full name of [name_m]Samuel[/name_m])
[name_u]Jamie[/name_u] --but I’ve only ever heard it as a full name on a girl
I’ve also met a male [name_u]Shannon[/name_u], but he was at least 40. I’d be very surprised to meet a young male [name_u]Shannon[/name_u]. I also know two guys named [name_u]Ariel[/name_u]: a middle aged Israeli and a 20/30 something Dominican-American. On a whitebread American I think it’s female exclusive. And I know a male [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] and a male [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] but I’ve never met girls named that, and I know multiple girls named [name_u]Terry[/name_u] but I’ve never met a guy named that–but I would say those are all unisex names.
I wouldn’t call [name_u]James[/name_u] unisex. It may be used for girls, but the ratio of male Jameses to female Jameses is not even slightly close. It’s not ambiguous. Maybe it will be in thirty years, but not now.
My favorite is [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u]. It’s the only one I like, honestly.
Hmm…I like [name_u]Cory[/name_u], [name_u]Jacky[/name_u]'s nice too. The spelling of ‘[name_u]Jacky[/name_u]’ looks a bit more masculine which I do like. I also do like [name_u]Casey[/name_u] and [name_u]Cameron[/name_u] too.
I do really like the name [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u], though it seems like a more feminine name to me even though it is technically unisex.
I like [name_u]Sage[/name_u] as a unisex name. Some mish-mash spellings of [name_f]Erin[/name_f]/[name_m]Aaron[/name_m] are effectively unisex, but I’m not a big fan.
