Character names that are Androgynous

  1. Calendar

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      If you don't want to limit yourself to one month of the year, this unique baby name offers the plus of the friendly nickname, Cal.
  2. Silence

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      The Puritans used it as a virtue name -- but today it would just be considered weird: silence is no longer golden.
  3. Kirin

    • Origin:

      Chinese mythological name

    • Description:

      Kirin is a unisex name by virtue of representing a mythological creature that is part horse and part dragon and combines qualities that are both male and female. This is one Chinese name that translates beautifully to the Western world, where it resembles Kieran for boys, Kyra or Karen for girls.
  4. Truth

    • Origin:

      English word name

    • Meaning:

      "truth"

    • Description:

      With the first name True receiving a Kardashian dose of popularity for girls, Truth is gaining in visibility too. Though its still more popular for boys two to one, the truth is that the name works equally well for both genders -- but may inspire a lot of puns.
  5. Welby

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "from farm by a spring"

    • Description:

      Although it connotes a sense of well-being, not likely to be a popular choice.
  6. Elex

    • Description:

      Elex is an uncommon masculine name with multiple potential origins. It may be a modern variant of Alex or Alexander, offering a distinctive spelling while maintaining familiar pronunciation. Alternatively, it could be an entirely contemporary creation, appreciated for its brevity and the trendy 'x' ending. The name has a sleek, modern feel with just four letters, making it both distinctive and straightforward. Elex has never ranked among popular names in any major English-speaking country, remaining exceedingly rare. This rarity gives the name a unique quality while still being intuitive to pronounce. The name's contemporary sound makes it feel forward-looking and innovative, potentially appealing to parents seeking something modern and distinctive yet not completely unfamiliar in structure.

  7. Guitar

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      Toni Morrison, a master of character naming, coined this one for the best friend of hero Milkman Dead in Song of Solomon. Definitely a cool choice, with a twang.
  8. Raddix

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "root"

    • Description:

      This eye-catchingly unique name was coined by Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, who gave it to their daughter, born in 2020. It may derive from the Latin radix, meaning "root", or perhaps from the Slavic name element rad, meaning "happy; willing".

      Raddix is among the most unique celebrity baby names of recent years.
  9. Aeryal

    • Description:

      Aeryal is a modern feminine name with an ethereal quality, likely derived as a creative spelling variation of 'Aerial' or 'Ariel'. The distinctive spelling gives it a contemporary feel while maintaining connections to concepts of air, lightness, and freedom. Though not traditional, Aeryal has gained some usage in recent decades among parents seeking unique names with a melodic sound. The name evokes images of something heavenly or sky-related, suggesting a free-spirited personality. Its uncommon nature makes it stand out on class rosters while still being pronounceable and accessible.

      Ax makes a somewhat threatening short form of the popular Axel, given to more than 3000 baby boys last year. It can also be used on its own, though it usually isn't. There were, however, seven baby boys named Axe in the US in 2015.

  16. Pinky

    • Description:

      Pinky is an unconventional masculine name that originated as a nickname before occasionally being used as a given name.

As a given name for boys, it remains quite rare in Western countries but has seen some usage in India and other South Asian communities. The name carries playful, endearing qualities that challenge traditional masculine naming conventions. Pinky may be used as a diminutive for names like Peter or Paul in some cases, though increasingly it stands on its own. Parents choosing this name might appreciate its cheerful connotations and distinctive character that sets their son apart from more conventional names.

    • Origin:

      English and Scottish occupational name
