Unisex and Gender-Neutral Baby Names
718 unisex names from English, South African, Chinese, Japanese and dozens more languages, with meanings.
Unisex names have gone from niche to mainstream. Some were always neutral — most Sikh names, Tibetan names and many African day-names are given to boys and girls alike — while others crossed over recently as surnames, nature words and place names became first names: River, Sage, Rowan, Quinn, Kai, Noor, Ayaan. Parents like them for their flexibility and for how modern they sound without being invented.
Below are the names in our catalogue that are used for both boys and girls. We also list a few names that are unisex in one culture and gendered in another (Kiran, Sasha, Andrea) — worth knowing if your child will grow up between two countries.
