When it comes to choosing a name for your little one, there are literally thousands of options, from the traditional to the, er, not so traditional. But if you’re looking for the perfect gender neutral name for your baby, MommyNoire has you covered with these marvelous unisex monikers that are filled with personality. Hit the flip for fifteen of our faves.
Alex
Still making it into the Top 100 of boys’ names as a nickname for “Alexander,” Alex is less common amongst girls, which we think makes it even more appealing.
Dominique
Dominique is another strong contender, remaining a fave for both girls and boys year after year. The name is French in origin, meaning “of God.”
Jaylin
Used more often for a boy’s name, Jaylin, meaning “beautiful jay bird”, is quickly climbing up the ranks of popularity for girls, too.
Cameron
Scottish in origin, meaning “bent nose,” we love the name Cameron, but we like the nickname “Cam” even more.
Peyton
Ranking its highest back in 2009, both traditional spellings of this gender neutral baby name, “Peyton” and “Payton” are equally fitting for boys and girls. The name can also be spelled “Paityn,” and means “from Pacca’s town.”
Devin
A derivative of the French word “divin,” meaning divine or perfect, the name Devin is the, well, perfect choice for your little bundle. Though girls tend to use the spelling “Devon”, the name can also be spelled with a “y” — “Devyn.”
Jadyn
Whether it’s spelled “Jadyn,” “Jaden,” “Jaiden,” “Jaedon,” or “Jaidyn,” this name has become a fave over the years, thanks to Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith. “Jaden” is Hebrew in origin, meaning “Jehovah has heard.”
Kendall
An English name meaning “valley of the River Kent,” the name Kendall gets better with age just like the wine.
Corey
Another with several possibilities in its spelling (“Cori,” “Koree,” “Korey,” “Corrie,” “Corie”), Corey remains one of the most popular unisex baby names year after year. It is an Irish name that means “hollow.”
Amari
Baby naming experts say this popular pick comes from two places. Amari is both a Yoruba name for a boy meaning “we will see” and a name of Greek origin meaning “eternally lovely.” Either way, this name is a slam dunk for your son or daughter, making the Top 500 for both genders.
Tony
Traditionally used as a nickname for “Anthony,” the moniker is often ended with a “y” for boys and an “i” for girls.
Ryan
A classic “boy name,” Ryan is definitely gaining in popularity among girls. Just ask Holly Robinson Peete.
Dylan
With a variety of spellings, the name Dylan—a Welsh name meaning “son of the sea”—offers many unique spelling options.
Avery
Label your son or daughter with this strong name for character that sticks. A form of Aubrey, the name means “elf ruler,” and can also be spelled “Averie.”
Riley
With countless spelling options (“Rylee,” “Rileigh,” “Rhylee”), we love the name Riley, especially for a girl.
