Favourite neutral names

We are expecting our first in October and haven't found out the sex. Really struggling with names and just haven't found anything that the both of us love. We have a handful of names for boys and girls but feel pretty luke warm to them!

Would be amazing if we could find a neutral name that would work for either. I do like Robin/Robyn for a boy or girl so anything along those lines. Nothing too wacky but up for any inspo at this point please!

It sounds like you don’t actually want a unisex name, more that you’re not inspired by the girl and boy names you have come up with.

Love Robin for a boy, not as keen for a girl

Drew?

I love Robin/Robyn for a girl. Less so for a boy.

Whatsyourflava · 11/09/2020 15:34

Noah/Noa is lovely @NWnature

I've heard of girls called James but it's not a unisex name really is it. It's a boys name

Twizbe · 11/09/2020 14:56

Francis/Frances

Lweji · 11/09/2020 14:34

I was thinking Robin before reading your OP.

NWnature · 11/09/2020 14:32

Thanks for all these. Lesley/Leslie is a family name (both boys and girls) but I can't stand it personally.

I quite like Noah/Noa and Cameron was on the list too!

Morgan
Jo
Cameron

Dazzedandconfused · 11/09/2020 11:27

I love Theo! It could be short for Theodore or Theodora. Also names like Quinn, Harper, Sloane or Monroe are good unisex names.

Remi/Remy is nice and fairly neutral

Remy seems to be the preference for boys and Remi for girls
