Sam

EllaBlaire · 17/07/2021 18:14

Not sure Danny and Lee are unisex.

Darryl can be used for both. Meredith, Hilary and Lindsay can be either…. I suspect these aren’t to your taste though.

EllaBlaire · 17/07/2021 18:15

Robyn is a girl’s name, if you’re following that logic you could add Francis to your list.

CrouchEndTiger12 · 17/07/2021 18:15

Morgan

CrouchEndTiger12 · 17/07/2021 18:16

Alexis
Beverley

Both unisex

user1493494961 · 17/07/2021 18:54

Out of all the suggestions, I think I would choose Satchel Poh.

TeenMinusTests · 17/07/2021 19:06

Very few of the names are really what I would consider proper unisex names.
They are mainly either

  • names that were boys but are now 99% associated with girls
  • nicknames/shortenings
  • using y as an ending when the girl's name is usually ie
  • surnames
None of which of course are a problem if it's what the OP wants. Smile

TotorosCatBus · 17/07/2021 20:13

You could go down the initial route. You wouldn't know if AJ was really an Alexander Jack or Alexandra Jacqueline until you met them.

Cheesypea · 17/07/2021 20:17

Terrazzo · 20/07/2021 12:48

Miller

But might sound too much like Mila so people will assume it's that/assume she's a girl anyway. Although I do like Miller for a boy too.
