I’ve a great disdain for flowery feminine names or anything twee, and am keen for daughter to have a strong name that the sex would be ambiguous when read. I’ve always been drawn to these names on powerful, gorgeous women and definitely want to go unisex.

This is what we have so far, keen to hear favourites:

Blake
Blair
Drew
Morgan
Robin

@Whattocall

Out of curiosity, op, why did you put ‘for a girl’ in your title, because if they’re unisex, the sex doesn’t matter!!

Because they are a girl, so keen to hear what people think would be potentially flattering or just an outright no. I like unisex names because it can be advantageous with work, and because I don’t personally like overtly feminine names — I have one and dislike it.

I came across a female Jude today, likely a shortening of Judith /Judie I guess but needn't be.

My daughter is Max (Maxine). I've had great feed back on the name from friends and coworkers (but we're not british so it probably sounds more unusual to us than people on this forum).

Names I like but didn't/couldn't use :

Riley
Blake
Ashton
Jo(hanna)
Jamie

Loved Alex too but couldn't use it as several close family members have similar names.
