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
