These 150 Gender-Neutral Baby Names Are Beyond Cute

I probably don't need to tell you this, but gender is a social construct. Despite what the patriarchy has brainwashed us into believing, the male-female binary is not only very tired, but also, like, factually inaccurate. Not to sound like your quirky women's studies professor, but gender is fluid and falls along a spectrum—no need to confine anyone to just two options!

Since gender identity is personal, a lot of folks are becoming more mindful about what name they give their kids. And don't get us wrong, you're free to name your baby whatever you very well please, regardless of their sex at birth. But if you don’t want to give your bundle of joy a traditionally gendered name, then you’ve come to the right place.

We rounded up 150 unisex and gender-neutral baby names so you can scroll through and get inspired. And, as a bonus, a lot of them are super unique, too. So, consider this your sign to toss those outdated, color-coded baby-name books that your mom dusted off. We have all the unisex and gender-neutral baby names you need, below.

1. Atlas

C’mon, baby global citizen! Here’s a unique and modern name for any gender.

2. Valentine

Doesn’t this one just make your heart swell? It’s actually derived from the Latin word “valen,” aka “strong,” which feels perfect somehow.

3. Whitley

This Old English name means “white meadow.” How serene.

4. Camden

Here’s a Scottish name that translates to “winding valley.”

5. Tanner

This name was originally an occupational one, used to signify leather-makers. Now it’s a very trendy name that anyone and everyone can take advantage of.

6. Sailor

Don’t you just love the nautical vibes here? Bonus if you (and hopefully they) love the water.

7. Flynn

This is a Gaelic surname that has become a beloved boy’s name over the years. There’s no reason it wouldn’t be extra cute for any baby, though!

8. Harlowe

This name means “from the hare’s hill,” which already sounds poetic enough. You can choose to drop the ending “e” too for a slightly different vibe. (The same note applies to a bunch of names on this list, FWIW.)

9. Beck

This short and sweet name means “someone who lives by the stream.” The ideal way to live, TBH—plus it’s got musical connotations.

10. Justice

Here’s a real statement name. Who doesn’t love a little justice in life?

11. Ali

This Arabic name means “elevated” or “champion.”

12. Blue

If you’re going to go the color-inspired route, this is a fresh option. Yes, we love a Violet or a Garnet, but I mean…Beyoncé doesn’t have a kid with either of those names, so Blue comes out on top.

13. Brooks

Here’s a derivative of an English surname that makes for a simple, classic moniker.

14. Carter

This is another common surname that works very well for any gender and, again, has some Beyoncé vibes to it.

15. Channing

This name is French for “young wolf.” That’s just powerful as hell. Also, a cool famous namesake!

16. Ramsey

Does this name mean “wild garlic”? Yes. Does that change the fact that it’s still somehow chic as hell? No.

17. Remy

This name has French and Latin origins (so fancy) and means “oarsman.”

18. Max

Here’s a certified classic. It means “greatest,” which is probably why it’s remained a staple for generations. Also, if you watched Stranger Things, you’ll know it’s not just for boys.

19. Honor

This name is a solid way to set the tone for a kid’s life.

20. Jesse

Not only does this name have 50,000 song mentions (approximately), but it’s also Hebrew for “the Lord exists.”

21. Casey

Here’s an Irish unisex name that means “vigilant.”

22. Nicki

Now, this has totally been deemed a girl’s name over the years, but honestly, changing the spelling opens a whole bunch of doors. Nikki, Nicky…there are countless possibilities.

23. Maddox

This is a Welsh name meaning “son of Madoc.” The name was popularized quite a bit when Angelina Jolie made it a thing with her oldest child.

24. Morgan

Here’s a solid unisex name that means “sea dweller.” Again with the water theme!

25. Dylan

The sea seems to inspire all the best names, honestly. Dylan actually means “born from the ocean.” Who knew?

26. Tai

This is a Chinese name meaning “a great extreme,” and is also a totally lovable Clueless character and very attractive singer.

27. Eli

This Hebrew name for “my God” has typically been designated for boys but is gaining traction in the unisex department.

28. Merritt

The gender-neutral name means “boundary gate.”

29. Peyton

This popular unisex name translates to “fighting man’s estate.” That’s so legit.

30. Aubrey

This German name means “magical being.”

31. Oakley

In case you haven’t caught on yet, the whole surname as a first name thing sounds suuuper chic.

32. Colin

This is actually a derivative of the name Nicholas (who knew?) and means “people of victory.” Colins everywhere have essentially won at life, I guess.

33. Hollis

Don’t even front—how delightful does it sound to be a “dweller at the holly trees”?! That’s bliss, baby.

34. Wynn

We all love a winner. This Old English name actually means “friend,” and we def love that too.

35. Rumi

Another Yoncé-approved name here ’cause taste is taste. This one has Japanese origins and translates to “beautiful.”

36. Jo

Joe may seem like a set-in-stone guy’s name, but drop the “e” and you’ve got a flexible name with a Little Women cosign to back it up.

37. Ash

One-syllable names just exude chicness. This one means “of the ash tree.” So, extra cool.

38. Halston

This has English origins and came about from the phrase “hallow stone.” Super trendy too, with some major fashion vibes to go with it.

39. Reese

We have to praise Reese Witherspoon’s mother for giving her this name and putting it on the map for all of us to reuse.

40. Blake

Blake is often automatically associated with boys, but it definitely isn’t that way anymore. Psh, ask Blake Lively!

41. Shiloh

Hebrew for “tranquil,” Shiloh has historically been dubbed as a girl’s name for a long time. But that’s changed recently!

42. Dakota

Dakota originates from the Native American community in the northern Mississippi Valley. It means “a friendly one.”

43. Jamie

We’ve seen this one commonly used with boys and girls throughout the years. It still stands as a very popular gender-neutral name (and not just a nickname).

44. Shawn

This name has English, Irish, and American origins. In English, it translates to “from the shady grove.” In Irish and English, it means “gift from God.” It’s been popularly used as a boy’s name, but it would be just as cute for a baby girl. It can also be spelled as Sean or Shaun.

45. Leslie

Derived from Scotland, the name Leslie translates to “garden of holly.”

46. James

I think we have Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds to thank for popularizing and retooling this boy’s name. They named their daughter and oldest child James and it’s the cutest thing! (Also, you could use Jamie, above, as a nickname.)

47. Cameron

Can’t help but think that maybe Cameron Diaz is the one who changed the game??

48. Billie

The name Billie has an English origin and has been a common name for boys. But all babies can 100 percent have the name too! (Hi, Billie Eilish.)

49. Quinn

An Irish name meaning “chief leader” or “intelligence,” Quinn has become slightly more popular with girls than boys in recent years. TBD on whether or not Glee had anything to do with that.

50. Elliott

This name has been popular with all babies for decades now. You can also opt to spell it with a single “t” or “l” to add a little flair.

51. Emerson

While this one used to skew more female, it’s slowly on the rise as a more gender-neutral name too.

52. Finley

This is one of the few gender-neutral names that is truly unisex, meaning it doesn’t lean heavily one way or another.

53. Marlowe

Marlowe means “driftwood” and has historically been coded as a girl’s name. In recent years, however, it’s been branching out.

54. North

Obviously, Kim K popularized this name when her first child was born in 2013. However, baby-name experts say it’s gaining momentum not just as a girl’s name. Plus, the nickname Nori is a grade-A option.

55. Kai

This name derives meaning in several different spaces—“sea” in Hawaiian culture, and “keeper of the keys” in the Welsh language—and is super popular right now.

56. Rory

You can immortalize Rory from Gilmore Girls.

57. Arden

This is an English name meaning “valley of the eagle.” Although it tends to be almost twice as popular with girls, there are no limits.

58. Riley

It has an Irish origin and means “courageous.” Originally a popular name for boys, Riley has grown so popular that it is the number one female name starting with “R.” Fans of Inside Out, raise your hands!

59. Bailey

While it may forever be thought of as something that should be mixed with coffee (in my mind, at least), Bailey is an adorable name for any baby.

60. Jules

Often a nickname for Julie or Julia, Jules has become popular with the boys over the years as a nickname for Julian and as a stand-alone name. Also, it’s the name of my fave gal from Euphoria.

61. Sage

Sage is of Latin origin and means “wise,” which is pretty cool, if you ask me. Who wouldn’t want a brilliant offspring?

62. Alex

Alex as a nickname for either Alexander or Alexandra has been huge pretty much since the dawn of time.

63. Kendall

Kendall is of British origin, meaning “valley of the river Kent.” It’s been popular with boys (ahem, Succession!) and girls, à la Kendall Jenner.

64. Micah

Traditionally a boy’s name, Micah is now popular across the board—possibly as an alternative to the increasingly popular Michaela. It means “who is like the Lord.”

65. Angel

Angel has been rising in popularity for everyone. Spice Girl Melanie Brown named her daughter Angel Iris, so it’s obvs legit.

66. Kyle

Perhaps popularized by The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, this has typically been a boy’s name but absolutely doesn’t have to be.

67. London

London is a perfectly pleasant name, honoring a beautiful British city (duh).

68. River

One of the most famous Rivers—actor River Phoenix—gave this name a traditionally male association. But since Kelly Clarkson decided to call her daughter River, it’s slowly increasing in popularity on the female side, too.

69. Harper

Once the Beckhams named their only daughter Harper, it immediately shot up in popularity for girls, which checks out. But parents really like it for all their little ones.

70. Charlie

Charlie has long been thought of as the nickname for Charles, but recently, it’s been a popular nickname for the name Charlotte.

71. Drew

Typically a boy’s name (save for the queen, Drew Barrymore), Drew is quite popular for little fellas. But expect to see lots of little girls named Drew running around in the upcoming years, now that Jessica Simpson gave it to her daughter Maxwell as a middle name.

72. Reagan

Reagan, which occasionally is spelled Regan, is more popular with girls but certainly works as a gender-neutral name as well.

73. Logan

It’s damn near impossible to go to a park without running into a little Logan these days. The name has shot up in popularity over the past few years.

74. Sawyer

Sawyer is more popular for boys (maybe thanks to Sawyer from Lost?), but stars like Sara Gilbert have taken to giving the name to their daughters, which no doubt will make it more popular in general over the next few years.

75. Taylor

Once typically used just for girls, Taylor—partly thanks to Taylor Lautner—has been climbing the ranks. While the name may feel a little ’90s for some, Taylor Swift has put it on the map for a new generation. Sort of related: Remember when Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner dated? You had to be there.

76. Kennedy

The name Kennedy sounds trendy and classic for all human babies, but it's often thought of as a girl’s name. However, if name meanings are particularly important to you, you might want to steer clear of this one: Kennedy means “misshapen head.”

77. Hayden

This celebrity name (Hayden Panettiere and Hayden Christensen, anyone?) is currently more popular with boys, but don’t sleep on it as a unisex option.

78. Nico

Actor Thandiwe Newton gave the name Nico to her daughter. Alternate spellings include Nikko and Niko, which are both fab and can be used for anyone.

79. Phoenix

The name of a place and the name of a bird, what more can you ask for?

80. Jaden

More popular for boys—perhaps thanks to Will Smith and Jada Pinkett’s son—Jaden has risen in popularity quite a bit in the past few years.

81. Gray

The name Grayson for boys has been wildly popular. But Gray is cute for everyone!

82. Jordan

Although it’s usually thought of as a boy’s name, Jordan makes it into the top 300 names for girls. The name skyrocketed to popularity in the ’90s during Michael Jordan’s heyday and is still going strong.

83. Skyler

Skyler—also spelled Skylar—is popular for all. The name is actually a variation of the name Schuyler, which is a Dutch surname (hi, Hamilton!).

84. Sasha

Perhaps thanks to Sacha Baron Cohen (who pronounces it “Sasha”), the name Sasha is rising in popularity. The name means “defender of men.”

85. Rowan

Rowan, which means “little redhead,” is popular for all. One of the most famous Rowans is Mr. Bean himself, British comedian Rowan Atkinson. So your kid will have a great legacy there!

86. Parker

The preppy name, which actually means “park keeper,” is trending for boys. But queen Parker Posey ("Piper, nooo!") might boost it back up for girls, too.

87. Reign

This short and sweet name would be the perfect fit for your baby royal. It’s seen a slight uptick in popularity thanks to Kourtney Kardashian’s youngest son, and it’s got a real air of power to it.

88. Noah

Whether you use the typical spelling or drop the “h” and go with Noa, this classic name has always been a hit for boys. In the early 2000s, it gained traction for the girls, too—just look at Noah Cyrus!

89. Anderson

Surnames that work as first names? Forever chic. There’s even the adorable Andi nickname opp!

90. Greer

This name means “watchful” or “vigilant” and derives from Scotland. It’s not the most popular name, but it’s been on the rise since the ’90s.

91. Ellis

This name is basically the unisex answer to many of its counterparts. If you don’t want to go too gendered with names like Elliot, Eleanor, or even Ella, Ellis is a gorgeous, more neutral option.

92. Corey

If you change up the spelling here just a tad, this name comes with a completely different energy. Kori, Cori, Cory…the opportunities are endless.

93. Brooklyn

We love a city-based name. Also, David and Victoria Beckham have, like, the best taste in unisex names?

94. Bowie

This one is famously notable for rock star David Bowie, and since his passing in 2016, it’s skyrocketed in first-name popularity. It’s originally Scottish and it means “fair-haired.”

95. Addison

Originally, this name was developed as the female derivative of Adam, but now it’s a unisex name for common folk and famous TikTokers alike.

96. August

Month names are it. C’mon, look at January Jones! If you appreciate this vibe, August ranks high up there when it comes to months that look good on an ID.

97. Ryan

Has this remained one of the most popular boy’s names for, like, the past century? Sure. But it’s now also a very trendy unisex name. How’s that for a twist?

98. Avery

Now here’s a real classic. It comes from the old English word for “elf,” which...love.

99. Austin

What did I say about city names? They’re usually sooo cool. You can even get a little creative and go with Austyn if you’re looking to switch things up.

100. Robin

Here’s a tried-and-true fave. From Robin Williams to Ms. “Dancing on My Own” Robyn, plenty of icons have done this name proud. I mean, considering it means “bright fame,” that totally adds up.

101. Ezra

After being a common name for boys, Ezra—which means "help"—became one of the top 1,000 names for girls back in 2018, officially making it a true unisex option.

106. Nova

Through the years, this name has been typically used for girls, but since it means "new," it is perfect for all babies.

107. Jett

Is it giving aviation? Sure, but it doesn't have to, especially since some say it's typically associated with edgy and mysteriously cool people. Um, yes please?

108. Tatum

Not sure about you, but I definitely love a baby that's "cheerful" and "full of spirit," which might be the case if Tatum is their name, just sayin'.

109. Frankie

Usually a nickname, Frankie is said to mean "truthful" and "sincere." Awww!

110. Ashton

Funny man Ashton Kutcher has made this name iconic for the boys, but it's so cute as a unisex option too!

111. Wren

Okay, even though this name means "small brown songbird," something about it just gives me fancy vibes, and I want that for your baby. Double win if they actually turn out to be able to sing.

112. Spencer

This name just has an air of sophistication to it, amirite?!

113. Kim

You'll typically see this name for the girls, but change up the spelling to "Kem" (if you want!) and it's the unisex moniker of your dreams.

114. Tracey

121. Lyric

Lyric is typically most common among girls, but it's just sooo beautiful and truly could be used by any music lover.

121. Presley

You just thought about Elvis, didn't you? But believe it or not, this name has been mostly associated with girls for a very long time, especially after legendary country singer Tanya Tucker gave the name to her daughter, Presley Tanita Tucker.

122. True

Khloe Kardashian brought this name into the greater cultural lexicon when she named her daughter this, but it's truly so cool for any person.

123. Dorian

This name has been associated with boys for the longest time, but I've met Dorians of all genders in my life and it just works.

124. Lee

Whether you spell it this way, or "Leigh," this unisex name means "meadow" or "delicate."

131. Bronte

This moniker has Gaelic and Greek origins and means "thunder" or "bestower."

132. Shelby

Shelby was an It Name about 10 years ago, so if you name your kid that now, it's like giving them vintage vibes. That's how that works, right?

133. Ricky

This name means "brave ruler," and you can spell it several different ways.

134. Cedar

While this one might give 2025 vibes, it has an old Greek history and is a super unique and uncommon name.

136. Sidney

Revered actor Sidney Poitier, aka the first Black man to win an Oscar for Best Actor, set the pace with this one.

136. Raine

I just feel like, similar to "Blaze," any gender-neutral name lending to some sort of environmental element is just fly as hell.
