Whether you’re looking for a gender-neutral name because it fits your personal philosophy about gender identity, or you think unisex names sound modern and cool, we have everything you need to find the perfect unisex name for your baby.
What is a Gender-Neutral Name?
A gender-neutral or unisex name is a given name that is not gender-specific. It is a name that can be used regardless of the sex assigned at birth to the child and does not serve as a gender marker. Gender-neutral names, however, can lean masculine or feminine. They can also include baby names traversing the traditional gender line, such as Charlie, Ashley, Addison, and Quinn.
Why choose a Gender-Neutral Baby Name?
Choosing a unisex name allows your daughter, son, or ‘theyby’ to enjoy the positive associations of breaking free from gender stereotypes while fitting in with a hip, cool, modern trend. Unisex names have risen in popularity 79.4% since the year 2000 and are becoming increasingly popular. In today’s culture, many parents recognize the positive social associations of giving their children a genderless name. By choosing a gender-neutral name, you open a whole world of possible expressions of self while avoiding placing the burden of gender stereotypes and gendered expectations on your child.
The most popular gender-neutral names in the U.S. are Charlie, River, Blake, Parker, and Emerson. Unique gender-neutral names include Dakota, Oakley, Phoenix, Justice, and Ocean. These gender-neutral names are a great fit for babies of any gender, including boys, girls, and gender-fluid and non-gendered people.

Famous Babies with Gender-Neutral Names
Celebrities are in a position to buck trends and stereotypes more easily since alternative choices are considered common for the elite and famous. They, in turn, make these trends more long-standing and widespread as their influence grows.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were a power couple who could make heads turn and trends change, and they jumped all-in on the gender-neutral naming trend. Their children have the names North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. These names demonstrate how inspiration from geography can provide familiar names not steeped in gender expectations.
Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have outspokenly supported their children’s identity exploration, which includes a sense of gender fluidity. Their son, Jaden, is particularly thrust into the spotlight for his non-conforming adherence to gender roles, and he has a name to match.
David and Victoria Beckham gave their children the names Brooklyn, Harper, and Cruz, which are popular unisex names.
Mark Zuckerberg, the famous Facebook mogul, and his wife Priscilla Chan gave their daughter the name August, which has traditionally been a boy’s name but is now surely going to see a gender-neutral rise.
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively also famously named their daughter the traditional boy names of James. It’s also the name of her late grandfather. Such a beautiful unisex name for a girl.
Since unisex names are considered modern and hip, it makes sense that many celebrity babies would be sporting them. After all, their celebrity parents are at the front of cultural trends, helping to determine what will be seen as “in” for each passing season.
