The Rise of Unisex Names
Unisex and gender-neutral names have grown dramatically in popularity over the past two decades. Parents choosing these names cite several reasons: they want their child to be free from gender assumptions before the world meets them, they appreciate names that work across different cultural contexts, and many unisex names have beautiful meanings that stand independently of gender associations.
Names like Sage (wisdom), Phoenix (rebirth), River (flow and change), and Sky (limitless freedom) carry meanings so strong and beautiful that assigning them to one gender would diminish them. These names belong to everyone.
