ByJayme Kennedy

Naming a baby can be rough. You’ve got all these amazing girl names, and all these amazing boy names. How can you possibly choose?! Well, just to make it even harder, we’ve got all these amazing unisex baby names for you to choose from, too. Maybe you don’t want something super girly or masculine. Or maybe you’re waiting to find out what you’re having, and only want to pick one name. Either way, going unisex with your baby’s name is a excellent choice, and these names are all perfection.

Amazing unisex baby names should work for a girl or a boy.

1. Take Dylan, for example.

Did you know that Dylan’s Candy Bar was started by Ralph Lauren’s daughter Dylan? It’s not super common as a girl’s name, but it is amazing for girls or boys.

2. Charlie

Charlie has always been a popular boys name. But it’s gotten a bit of a boost for girls recently, and it’s also an excellent nickname for Charlotte.

3. Justice

4. Skyler/Skylar/Schuyler

This is one of those unisex names that you can change the spelling of, depending on if it’s for a boy or a girl.

5. Elliot/Elliette

Another one that’s always been popular as a boy’s name, but we’re seeing a lot of little girls named Elliot lately. You can also spell it Elliette, for a more feminine spin. And how sweet is Ellie as a nickname.

6. Sawyer

7. Sidney/Sydney

River just flows (get it?) for either a boy or a girl. It’s very gender-neutral.

11. Stevie

It doesn’t get more beautifully witchy than Stevie Nicks.

12. Devon/Devan/Devin

We love Devon/Devan for a boy or a girl, it works perfectly for both.

13. Jamie

Jamie is a classic unisex name. There are a few ways you can spell it, depending on if it’s for a boy or a girl, and it has tons of nickname potential (little girl named James, anyone?).

14. Drew

Honestly, any child named after Drew Barrymore, boy or girl, is a star in our book.

15. Maxwell

Jessica Simpson sort of moved Maxwell into unisex territory when she picked the name for her daughter.

16. Rory

Now, in Gilmore Girls, Rory is short for Lorelai. But it works on it’s own too, for a boy or a girl.

17. Reese

If it’s for a girl, you can say she was named after one of your favorite actresses. If it’s for a boy, say he was named after your favorite chocolate candy. Easy!

18. Kendall

Arguably the most famous Kendall is one Ms. Kendall Jenner. But before she came on the scene, it was a pretty popular boy’s name.
