Don't do it. I've got a unisex name and it irritating when growing up kids tease you for having a boys name. As an adult it is irritating because people phone and email me thinking I might be a man.

P.s. my name is listed above.

Also, what are your thoughts on choosing a unisex name?

[Newname14]

Agree I've got a unisex life and people are always mistaking me for a he and I got teased too don't do it!!!

[Martorana]

Hmm. In my experience "unisex" names are always boys names given to girls. Which is annoying. I think you should only call a girl Michael or Billy if you would call a boy Emily or Winnie.

Pete
Dana

Ultimately it's your decision, and many of these names are lovely. But as you've asked, I have a unisex name, mentioned a few times in this thread. I've always disliked it, it's frustrating when people assume you're a man before they meet you, it always bothered me as a child when at the start of every year the teacher will have made name tags - all the girls' names pink, the boys' names blue, my nametag would be green. Same with pencil boxes, etc. Color thing may no longer be as relevant, but it was a Big Deal when I was child. Now I always have to put my middle name on forms.

LOVE Leonora!

Many thanks for the suggestions and comments. I do think that the many of the "don't do it" ones actually justify why one would want to name their child with a unisex name. It allows for the person not to be gendered pigeon-holed based solely on their name before people even meet them. I may be a bit of an optimist but I hope we are moving beyond the pink/blue divide much more than we were 20-40 years ago (i.e. when we were growing up). Yet it is still there as evident by our instance on giving our girls "cute girlie" names and our boys "strong traditional" names. I am hoping to move past this.

[Martorana]

Always dubious about this from a feminist point of view- "unisex" in this context usually means "boy's"

I have never heard of a boy being given a traditional girl's name and it being called unisex.
