Unisex names that start with N include, somewhat surprisingly, boys’ Number 2 Noah, given to over 100 girls per year since 2014, along with the girls' same-sounding Noa, also sometimes used for boys.
Notable gender-neutral N names in the Nameberry database include quirky celebrity picks North, Nesta, and Nouvel, none of which quite caught on in the real world. But the latter, used by Brad and Angelina back in 2006, predicted a growing trend of today: N/V names like Navy, Nova, and November, which all make the unisex N name list.
Here, our full selection of unisex names that start with N, ordered by their current popularity on Nameberry. Each name is used more often for the gender indicated by its heart.
