Gender-neutral names – those that work for boys and girls alike – can be utterly charming, giving male and female bearers a dash of strength and sensitivity. It's no wonder parents like to borrow names from the "other gender." (Did you know that Lindsey and Hilary used to be strictly for boys?) Here are names that work for either sex.

The rise of gender-neutral names
In 2015, our site declared that it was "The Year of the Gender-Neutral Baby," and the trend of rejecting the idea of traditional "boy" and "girl" names is still going strong. These categories have fallen by the wayside, much like boy- and girl-specific toys, careers, and hairstyles. (We're looking at you, man bun.)
Today's parents are upending these old naming rules, ignoring gender categories, and making many popular names winners for both boys and girls. Consider Carson, Amari, Karter and Sawyer. River, Rory, and Phoenix, names that are growing in popularity for both boys and girls.
You are wrong. Let's discuss. Email me at PM, we will talk.
