Hey Mamas-to-be, how has your baby naming journey been? Have you decided on a name yet? Are you thinking about opting for a gender-neutral name for your baby? Sheknows.com highlighted the pros and cons of a unisex name.

One of the cons according to SheKnows:

“Even though unisex baby names have become more accepted, you may have to clarify your child’s gender or they may run into issues throughout different scenarios in your child’s life.”

And one of the pros according to SheKnows:

If you are looking for a unique name, choosing a unisex name is a great way to find a name that stands out in the crowd. For instance, actress Rebecca Gayheart and actor Eric Dane named their daughter Billie, a name that is historically more of a “boy’s name.” However, it makes a cute and unique name for a baby girl.

If you’re still deciding, perhaps browse the following list of popular and unique names as well as their meanings gleaned from The Best Baby Names Treasury:Your Ultimate Naming Resource.
