Looking for unisex names for a boy/girl. I'm currently pregnant with my 4th baby with my husband ( our first together) but have 3 girls to previous relationship.

My girls names are
Aimee (19)
Laura (17)
Grace (9)

We're planning on keeping the sex of the baby a surprise until baby arrives❤️We're looking at names already seeing as I'm 15+weeks. ( scan this thursday). So could be further on😆.

2 names we like so far .
Sonny
Casey
Husband liked Teddy but I'm not a fan!

There's an Irish politician with a child called Juniper who is being raised gender neutral.

Poor kid.

Some will think this is snobby but the fact is that Beau is the masculine form of the French word for beautiful. Belle is the feminine form. I find it jarring to see Beau applied to a girl. Lots of people who've studied French will know this.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g true and there's another option for you op Bo/Beau

You can my friend has a daughter called that but spelt sunny. Not a fan personally although she is very cute and suits it

Show quote history

Sunny is a completely different name. Calling a girl Sonny is like calling her Beau. They're masculine names by definition.

Why do you want a unisex name?

This? Why?

How about Sunny?
or Remy
or Jo
or Laurie

StressyMessyJess · 14/10/2024 14:18

My brothers are Sunny and Casey and I'm Jessie..then our other sister is Daisy. Parents obviously ran out of Unisex names

Marley
Torin
Raven
Morgan
Phoenix

TheCultureHusks · 14/10/2024 14:14

Not Jesse in Scotland!

OP don’t get hung up on unisex! They’re often kind of colourless names for that very reason. Or gimmicky. Sonny is pretty naff, Sonnie is even worse!

Maeve is gorgeous. For a boy, how about Brodie?

PubicZirconia · 14/10/2024 12:59

Jesse/Jessie?

I know Vivian and Evelyn are unlikely choices these days but still! They're true unisex names and might make a comeback for boys

Love Vivian ❤️

I know two girls, Frankie and Bobbie (Bobbie's brother is Sonny).
I also used to love the model Frankie Rayder. And her daughter is named Sunny.

Ari
Blake
Avery
Blair
Robin
Ray/Rae

Love Avery for a girl that is high on my list along with Maeve for girls names and instead of Blake. Blane for a boy 👦 we are in scotland too and husband picked Blane/Clyde for boys. Frankie is also in the Family. Twins... Francesca & Frankie 🤦🏻‍♀️ they are teenagers now. X

I like Stevie! Stev/phen for a boy but actually I like it standalone for a girl

Waterboatlass · 14/10/2024 12:42

I'd say Sonny and Romy are definitely not unisex.

Robyn/ Robin
Rowan
Ashley
Ali
Vivian (ne)
Evelyn
Francis/es

What about names that have a males and female version
Robert/a (Bobbie for short)
Alexander/a (Alex)

CookieMonster28 · 14/10/2024 12:42

Not my personal taste but ...
Stevie
River
Robyn/Robin
Riley

Your girls names are beautiful.
I don't like Sonny or Casey - sorry.
I love Teddy for a girl ( Theadora - I think that's the spelling, but I don't like it for a boy.

Thank you 🥹❤️
