There are many reasons to consider a gender-neutral name when deciding what to name your child. It may be a family name. You may believe it will help to prevent gender stereotyping or sexism in your childs future. You may like the idea of a gender fluid or non-binary name. Or, you may just think unisex names are unique, cool, cute, and fun!

Whatever the reason, more and more families are trending toward using gender-neutral names for their babies. And, while there was a time when it seemed a little odd to use a last name as a first name or to take a more traditionally male name and use it for a girl, it's now commonplace. So, if you do choose this type of name, your child will surely know other kids with unisex names, too.
