Unisex Names: Yes? No? Boy? Girl?
Unisex Names: Yes? No? Boy? Girl?
Jul 17, 2025 2:58 AM

  Unisex names have been around forever, back to the era when Alice, Anne, Emma and Esmé were boys’ names that morphed over to the girls’ side, and Douglas and Clarence were female names.  In the sixties there were Jodys and Jamies of both genders, and now we have a whole new set of names popular for both boys and girls.

  Some of  the unisex names on both current lists include:

  Addison

  Aubrey

  Avery

  Bailey

  Finley

  Harley

  Harper

  Hayden

  Jayden

  Jordan

  Logan

  London

  Marley

  Morgan

  Peyton

  Reese

  Riley

  Ryan

  Skylar

  The Question of the Week is:  Are any of these gender neutral names among your faves, and if so, would they be used for a girl or a boy?
