Not Sure If You're Having a Boy or a Girl? Here Are Some Cute Gender-Neutral Baby Names and Their Meanings.

Not yet sure if you're having a girl or a boy? Here are some cute gender-neutral baby names to choose from.

Unisex baby names are all the rage right now. Here’s why.

If you’re expecting a baby or know someone who is, baby names are certainly something you talk about on a regular basis since brainstorming ideas is entertaining.

But the truth is that deciding on a name for your kid can be a difficult undertaking because there are so many factors to consider. Should you choose a surname? Something conventional? Or a one-of-a-kind name? If you’re in a relationship, naming your child can be even more difficult because you may disagree on what to call your child.

Unisex names are becoming more popular as families acknowledge that gender is a construct and prefer to avoid gender stereotypes. Parents giving unisex names to their little ones have grown popular as a method to break free from more traditional girl and boy name preconceptions.

Besides, just tweak the spelling and some names can pass for both boys and girls!

When it comes to gender-neutral names, parents frequently go to their family tree surnames, places that have meaning for the family, nature, colours, and seasons for inspiration. Another source of unisex name ideas is to look at variants of more common names that parents enjoy or have positive associations with.

We’ve compiled a list of unique gender-neutral names and their meanings for you to consider for your upcoming baby:
