Unisex names?
Aug. 12th, 2008 10:51 amI saw part of a documentary on parents coping with children born with both sex organs, bringing up a topic of using unisex names (One of the children on the program had a very masculine name, Jacob).
What unisex names do you like/think of?
Here are a few I've found:
Cary
Enfys
Emmery
Francis
Kinsey
Loren
Robin
Sage
Sevan
Shea
Sky
River
Terry

Addison
Jamie
Bryce (yes on a girl)
Harper

Also some people consider Briar and Hadley unisex, but I think they are strictly feminine.
The only unisex name I like on boys is Ashley.

London- Male
Ocean- Male
Rhys (i.e. Reese)- Male
Riley- Male
Rowan- Female
Sasha- Female (I like it as a boy's name, but that's too Eastern European to me, and I live in the US)

Especially not Morgan, Jordan, Riley, Avery, Bailey, Harper, Taylor, Kelly an Ashley.

Apologies. Poorly written.
