gender neutral names

a list of gender neutral names that usually goes one way over another. (i've put down male if it's a name usually used for a girl and female if it's usually used for a boy; why, oh why, are we required to write down the gender)
  1. Ryan
    • Origin:

      Irish
    • Meaning:

      "little king"
    • Description:

      This ultrapopular boys' name is rapidly becoming a hot name for girls; admired for its buoyant Irish spirit.
  2. Nico
    • Origin:

      Italian, diminutive of Nicola
    • Meaning:

      "people of victory"
    • Description:

      A much more dynamic nickname than Nicky for any of the Nic-names. Part of a growing trend of boyish nicknames for girls - alongside Stevie and Lou - Nico has cheerful, snappy sounds, and a fresh, sassy image.
  3. Percy
    • Origin:

      French surname from place name Perci-en-Auge
    • Description:

      Percy is a traditional boys' name that could be cute and unexpected for a girl – perhaps as a short form for Persephone or Persis. Adventurous and literary Percy could follow in the footsteps of other boyish nicknames for girls, like Frankie and Charlie.
