Unisex name

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!

I'd just choose 2 names, 1 boy and 1 girl.

I don't mind unisex names, but as your other 3 kids have very feminine names, it would be a bit strange to choose something like that for your 4th child!

We're not finding out the gender of baby. So would like to have a name picked for arrival hence why we would love to hear some unisex names :) x

Why unisex though? Why not just pick out a boy name and a girl name, and announce the name with the birth announcement?

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

Also Hilary

I wouldn't have 3 daughters with girls names, then a much younger half sibling with a unisex name.

why does this one need a unisex name when the others clearly didn't, unless you knew the sex before they were born? But why not have a boys name you love & a girls name you love & give them a name you actually love instead of a unisex name that's 'ok' & has the potential to be a pita their whole lives??

My favorite unisex name is Quinn , I know of both boys and girls called Quinn and I think it works for both

Absolutely nothing wrong with me 🤣. I'm pregnant and wanting a unisex name for my baby. That can be used for male and female. Obviously we have a list of girls and boys name but just asked for suggestions for unisex names. Not committing a crime. And yes I knew the sex of my babys before I gave birth.

So instead of choosing two decent names you will pick one meh name? Unisex names are always a bit better for one sex than the other. I think the issue of you having 3 girls with classic girls names and then one called Sonny is asking for trouble.

How about Remi?

Both you and DH have neutral names, neither of you seem very happy with them, yet you're considering a neutral names for your baby????

Although to be fair I agree with many of the comments about unisex names.

But why??? Why do you specifically need a 'unisex' name just because you aren't going to find out the sex before birth?
It doesn't make any sense.
