Unisex names are less obvious in boys and lots sound the same but have different spelling to hint at the gender

What are you talking about whoops where is the spelling difrerence between sam and sam, please do tell me.

And really you can't think of any names at all

Teddy - robbie williams daughter who was a bridesmaid at princes eugaines wedding spells her name this way

Sam
Billy
Phil

All spelt exactly the same way male or female

I prefer Robin to Robyn. Robin is the true spelling. Robyn has been created to make the name more feminine and show gender through names. Robin is the original spelling, the spelling of the bird. To use the word unkind when describing how to spell a name is absurd.

If you prefer Robyn it’s also a lovely name. But I prefer Robin. My post was to ask for ideas for other unisex names which I can use if I have a boy as I do not like Robin for a boy. The post was not to ask for opinions on Robin for a girl.

Once again, some really lovely name suggestions on here so thank you all for taking the time.

Robin is a boys name. As a teacher if I saw it on the register I'd think it was a boy.

Alex is a pretty well known unisex name.

I love Jude .. also Francis

I said lots not all, I think most are a stretch for a girl.

You’re examples are abbreviations of boys names that are also used for girls.

Phil is short for Philomena
Sam for Samuel or Samantha
Billy is boy spelling
Billie is for girls

Robin is a boys name. As a teacher if I saw it on the register I'd think it was a boy.

^ I would too

Spell it Robyn

Heaven forbid someone see a child’s name and assume the wrong gender

Spell Robyn with the Y though, otherwise it is particularly masculine!

Robin isn't a unisex name. It's a boys name. And throughout her life people will assume male. I'd be so irritated by that.

Sam is a unisex name

I'd also wonder why you want a unisex name? I know of 4 girls who are now saying they are "boys" and wish to be called their new chosen boy name. Is it to potentially avoid this?

One of them has chosen Dan if that helps

Thank You everyone. Some great suggestions for another unisex name for if I have a boy.

I’m very happy with Robin if I have a girl so do not need opinions on that.

Sam is a unisex nickname, usually Samuel or Samantha- neither are particularly unisex.

The notion of 'unisex for a boy' is ridiculous though.

This thread is fascinating though. I wonder why some people think it would be so unkind or annoying to have someone assume you were Male from your name.
As soon as Robin met someone or spoke to them they would know the gender. But what does it matter even if they got it wrong? If your female and on paper you are assumed Male you are likely to have access to Male privalages- more chance of being invited to certain job interviews for example. What’s the harm it would cause if some individuals assumed the wrong gender?

Is this why we are so attached to blue and pink? Because so many people are scared their children will be assumed the wrong gender?

I did not phrase it well. When I say I want a unisex name for a boy I mean that I like Robin but not for a boy so I’m holding that for if I have a girl and So I’m looking for another unisex name that I like. It’s jusf my preference that I dislike Robin as a boys name. A name can be unisex but they are not given to unisex children.

OP I am often assumed to be male because I have a unisex name, not really a problem but certainly no male privileges based on an assumption of my name. It's not an issue now but did used to bother me in my younger days... children can be cruel.

A close relative is a female Robyn and is rarely assumed to be male but does get annoyed when it happens still.

You are however bringing gender into this. if you like robin as a unisex name whether the baby is male or female doesn't matter. Staying you want unisex for a boy is where the questions are coming from, what difference does a penis make to a unisex name? None, exactly none.

It doesn’t, it’s just my preference.

ok then

Sam is a unisex nickname, usually Samuel or Samantha- neither are particularly unisex

I didnt ask for the difference between samuel and samatha code i asked for the diffence between Sam and Sam. Both not nicknames both just those three letters on the birth certs one female one male born within 7 months of each other at the same hospital

So as you are so clever what is the differece between Sam and Sam

I'd spell Robin with an i for either, because I don't see the point of adding a y to a perfectly good 'nature' name.

This Robin is definitely not a chap - I've met her!
