[Opinions] Re: Names That Are Truly Unisex
in reply to a message by JemimahGertrude
I still have gender preferences for these but in theory I think these work equally on boys and girls:
(*s are the ones I like most)
Sage *
Robin *
Lark *
Morgan *
Alex
Sam *
Cameron *
Shay *
Shane
Jordan
Taylor
Luca *
Mackenzie
Rowan *
River *
Rune *
Emlyn
Irian *
Aquila
Briar *
Francis *
Indigo *
Hyacinth *
Shiloh
Loren
Phoenix
Raven *
Angel
Jewel
Ari
Avi
Bailey
Jesse
Sorrell *
Bellamy
Bronte *
Harley
March
Chandra
Sequoia *
Aster
Imani *
Dakota
Kei *
Onyx
Devin
Devon
Quinn
Winn
Juniper *
Emery
Jackie
Jamie
Isidore *
Ellis
Hollis
Holland
Finley
Garnet
Kendall
Kennedy
Nikita *
Oakley
Vin *
Clemence
Quinley
Quincy
Kinley
Regan
Remy
Rene
Percy
Salem
Hartley
Of yours, I'd group them like this (* = I like it)
Boy:
Cedar *
Peregrine *
Hayden
Jasper *
Adair *
Glenn
Kyle
Dale
Evan *
Parker
Girl:
Kelly (I've met a couple of boy Kellys so I don't find it too weird, but I still see it as a girl name)
Evelyn
Cheyenne (I've met one boy Cheyenne and it seemed weird )
Jocelyn (I think Joscelin or Josselin work on boys, but not Jocelyn)
Shirley
Vivian (never seen this on a boy so I don't think of it as unisex, but it would be cool on a boy who could pull it off)
Wren (same here, I could see it working on the right boy but in general I think of it as a girl name)
Truly Unisex:
Bryn *
Gwyn * (although I'd expect this to be short for a girl's name like Gwyneth)
Ainsley * (I'd expect it on a girl but I think it works for both)
Lane
Merle (I'd expect it on a boy but it would also work on a girl. Old either way.)
Kahurangi *
Inyene *
Manu (I'm not very familiar with this name though)
Amandeep
Naphtali (;looks unisex to me but probably only because it reminds me of girl names like Nefertari and Natalie)
