What is your favorite gender-neutral name?

Comments

Robin, Sasha, Carol (I don't know how unisex people consider Carol these days, though, it's pretty much been taken over by females)

Shannon is nice too :)

I'd been conversing with a colleague that I had never met before via email for about 3 months before I met them. Their name was Shannon, the whole time I was talking to them I assumed he was a woman, nope he's a man.

Ashley, Kelly, or Kerry.

[sweetest-asylum.livejournal.com]

i love kerry for a boys name.

I really like Kyle for a girl, but I know I'm in the minority there.

for more common gender-neutral name, my favorite is Robin.

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

:) I like Kyle for a girl too.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

Alex.

Taylor

I feel the same way a few commenters below do- I like plenty of gender-neutral names but they aren't all gender neutral to me- as in, I prefer them for one gender over the other. Taylor is the only one I can think of that I like equally on boys and girls.

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

My favorite is probably Alex or Joey. Joey may not be one most people think of for girls but I don't flippin care! lol

[inebriatedcharm.livejournal.com]

I like Joey on a girl! That's really cute.

Sage and grey. I really like paris on a boy, but I guess it's gender neutral. I've seen ellis on boys and girls and I love that name. But I absolutely adore sage and grey.

[bandnerd88.livejournal.com]

Depends. There's a lot of "gender neutral" names I only like on boys and a lot I only like on girls, so they don't really feel gender neutral to me. I think the only ones I really like on both equally are Carol and Shannon.

[satunian.livejournal.com]

I sort of agree with with - there are a lot of gender neutral names that I dont feel are too neutral, I like Claire (as opposed to Clair) Morgan, Kelly, Kerry and Terry all for girls (I hate them on boys) and I like Taylor, Jordan, Evan and Cameron but only for boys, I hate them on girls. I don't think there is any one name that I like equally for both.

[farawaysong.livejournal.com]

Kelly.

[babyjess8.livejournal.com]

The only one on my list: Darcy

I also like:
Robin
Alexey/Alexis (but the first moreso on boys and the second on girls)
Indigo (guilty pleasure)
Morgan (moreso for boys)

[sweetest-asylum.livejournal.com]

oh. forgot about morgan. thats one i like equally for boy/girl

[quitmyscene.livejournal.com]

Riley.

Quinn would be second. I like it enough on both genders, whereas with Riley, I really like it on both genders. Most other "gender neutral" names I can think of I only like on one gender, or at the least, STRONGLY associate it with one gender more so than another.

[swimminglyso.livejournal.com]

Riley is my favorite, too.

[hwar.livejournal.com]

Robin is my number one, and if we're talking nicknames I also like Sam, Alex, Charlie, Jamie.

Other names that are nice even though they are NMS: Cameron, Dylan, Emerson.

[aimeewins.livejournal.com]

Lately I've been loving Ashley.

[snailrevolution.livejournal.com]

Same here. I recently met a guy named Ashley and it made my day. :D

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

For me it's hard to determine what I truly would call a gender-neutral name. There are some names more commonly seen on girls that I ardently claim are 100% boy's names, although clearly in use they aren't! My other problem is that I have to like it for both genders, which is even harder!

So I guess I'll go with... Meredith. Although if I can do same sound/different spelling I'd go with Francis/Frances.

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

I had no idea Meredith could be a male name. Interesting.

Adrian

Most of these are not gender neutral names.

Taylor, Riley, and the like- they're only gender neutral because they're surnames taking them out of the legitimate name park anyway.

[lethe-cat.livejournal.com]

lol, "legitimate" names.

[my-little-voice.livejournal.com]

ashley, avery, emery, grey or logan.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Rowan, Sasha, Morgan, and Cameron are names that I a) like a lot, and b) like equally on both genders. Rowan is probably my favorite, but then again it may be disqualified by my slightly preferring it on boys...

[starskye.livejournal.com]

I like Cameron and Alex, but overall I am not into gender neutral names

[mrssubee.livejournal.com]

Jordan- but, I like it for a girl

[celebrate.livejournal.com]

Aubrey.

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

Robin & Morgan.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Hayden and Avery. They're the only gender-neutral names I like that I would actually be willing to use on either sex, unlike something like Sage, that I only like on boys, or Cassidy for girls.

Taylor

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Sasha, Sage, Morgan, Avery
