For the longest time Asian names have stayed largely the same. Often, the names are derived from temples or “si fu” masters who bestow the name upon an unborn child. But modern parents in Asia nowadays are more interested in giving their children names that they have picked out on their own, such as gender neutral Asian names.

If you also haven’t found out what gender your baby will be and saving it for a surprise when they’re born, it would be helpful to look through gender neutral Asian names. Even if just for now, you might just find the perfect name for your little one.
