There are far more unisex baby names than the common variants Kim and René. These names suit little trendsetters.
When a couple is expecting a child, one of the first questions is often: So, do you have a name yet? Then it is pointed out again that we are still waiting to find out the gender. You can now save yourself this time. Because let’s be honest: On the one hand, gender as an identity is now decided by the baby itself and not through previous blood and ultrasound tests. On the other hand, unisex names are very trendy – and are also pretty rare.
So why wait until biological gender is announced? There are now many more gender-neutral names than the usual suspects. In addition to Kim, René and Uli, baby names like Alexis and Mika are becoming increasingly popular. Particularly beautiful: Maris, because the name means star of the sea.
Which brings us to another advantage of unisex names. Despite the popular gender debate, gender-neutral baby names are still quite rare. And for most expectant parents, rarity plays an important role, after all, you don’t want to startle seven children in kindergarten at the same time when you call your own name.
So there are several reasons for a gender-neutral name. To give you inspiration, we’ll present you with a few examples here – maybe there’s something for your baby? With these baby names you are guaranteed to become a little trendsetter!
