About Journey
One of the new word names, appealing to parents attracted to the idea of a spiritual -- or even an actual -- voyage. The Journee spelling is also being used. Unisex alert: Jenna Jameson used Journey for one of her twin boys, as did the Black Eyed Peas rock musician known as Taboo.
Journey for girls#411 US
Some might associate it with the San Francisco rock band Journey.
Journey for boys#1951 US
Journey is one of the hot new spiritual names. Although Journey was given in 2015 to over 1100 baby girls and fewer than 100 baby boys, it's more visible on the celebrity baby scene as a boys' name: Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green just chose the name for their third son, who also has the unisex middle name River.
Pronounced JER-nee.
As of October 2026, Journey ranked #411 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #226 in 2018.
