If you like gender neutral baby names then you’re going to LOVE these 30 options. All of them are edgy, modern, stylish, and completely on-trend for 2020.
They will equally suit a boy or a girl and many of them are on the top 100 baby names list for both genders.
Ash
Short, sweet, easy to write – what’s not to love?
StevieÂ
There’s something so edgy about the name Stevie for both girls and boys.
MorganÂ
Morgan used to be popular back in the 80s and it’s set to make a comeback this year. It’s hard to tell whether it’s more masculine or feminine. When we asked 20 people what they thought, 10 said it’s a boy name and 10 said a girl name. Go figure.
Elliot
Now this one I always thought was a boy’s name but how cute is it for a little girl? If you want something extra feminine you can always add a “te” to the end (Elliotte).
Gray and Indigo
Are you a fan of coloured-inspired names? Gray is a great choice for all babies. Another option that can easily be for a boy or a girl is Indigo (also trending right now).
Finley
This is a really popular option in America for both genders, although it’s normally reserved for little boys here in Australia. According to Motherly, the name Finley is a 58-42 split in favour of girls’ names.
Logan and LincolnÂ
Another name that I’ve always thought was best for a boy, Logan is so cute for a little girl. A few L names are – Lincoln is another cute option. However, when a French couple attempted to name their daughter Liam, it landed them in hot water.
Harper and Parker
Harper has been climbing the girl’s names list for years now but it’s also commonly used as a male name. Another name with a similar sound and ending that works on all babies is Parker.Â
Avery
Another popular unisex name and when we asked 20 people if Avery was more masculine or feminine, 11 said feminine.
EmersonÂ
“Son” names, such as Harrison, Jamieson and Hudson are often reserved for the boys, but Emerson is different. It can easily be used as a little girl’s name and often is. I know quite a few Emersons, both male and female.
Remy
Expect the name Remy to rise on both sides of the coin this year. It’s one of the names tipped to make a big mark on 2020.
Jordan
Jordan, like Kelly and Billy is one of the classic gender-neutral names that’s been around for AGES.
Mika
Mike is considered a girl’s name is many countries and a boy’s name in many other countries. In Australia, it can easily be either and we reckon it’s a cute option regardless. Other spellings include Micah or Mica.Â
Charlie
Charlie is one of the most popular gender-neutral names in Australia, currently on both lists. For boys, it’s #9 and for girls, it’s #85.
Cameron and Drew
Or Camryn if you’re looking for a more feminine version. Another gender-neutral name we have a Charlie’s Angel to thank for is Drew (Barrymore).
River
Nature-themed names are all the rage this year and River is one that’s gained serious momentum over the past few years. But is it best for a boy or a girl? We reckon both!
Phoenix
Another rising name to the top 100, Phoenix is both edgy and unique for any baby.
Marlow
If you like literary names, Marlow is a winner – it’s the name of a famous writer from the olden days. But in modern times, it’s part classic, part bad-ass and super cute to boot. Variations include Marlo and Marlowe.
Lennon, Jagger, Dylan and PresleyÂ
Little Lennie is as hip as they come and definitely has that rock-n-roll cool. Other names that can be used for both genders and have roots in music include Jagger, Dylan and Presley.Â
Johnnie
Take a classic name like John, add a cute ending and what do you have? Another great unisex baby name and a lovely way to honour a relative named John or Johnathon.
FrankieÂ
Perhaps the coolest gender-neutral name on the list is Frankie, especially for little girls. It’s colourful and charming and as hip as they come. Get ready for a whole parade of Frankies, both boys and girls, to rule the playground in the upcoming years.
AustinÂ
Austin was once a traditionally male name but I know both an Austin Rose and an Austin Mae so the name works great for girls too.
Dallas
Dallas is another option and, like Austin, has that country feel to it. Both Austin and Dallas are cities in Texas. Yee Haw.
