Unisex names???
Replies
I love unisex names, though most of them I prefer on one sex or the other.
However, of my long list, here are those I wouldn't mind for either gender technically:
Arden
Adilet
Sheridan
Briar
Joss
Michi
Rain
Temple
Arlie
Robin
Sora
Blair
Camille
Hollis
Whitney
Nima
Desta
Selby
Min (probably as a nickname though)
Brook
Cyril / Cyrille
Evren
Jordan
Gale
Eden
Liore

Really? Why not go with Shawntal then? Although, that would be atrocious.
Chantal is such a pretty name. . . I suppose the Shawn sound is the popular nickname as well... usually spelled Chan or Channy I am sure. I know a Shantal... and she goes by Shan (Shawn) or Shanny (Shawnny). She is Filipina though... so naming works differently there.

Diamonds are hard ... haha? Anyway I think it sounds "strong." Not that I would ever use it for either sex. It seems to have been used quietly as a male name in the past - broke into top 1k sometime in the 1890s.
I'm influenced by actress Sean Young, who made the name Sean unisex for me. There's also Sian.

Oo, I like Sian... and I could support a female Sean. DH likes Seth for a girl, a lot... so I guess it is the same thing. Plus, I secretly adore Noah on girls.
Diamante is Tagalog for Diamond, and a unisex name in the Philippines. I guess I can see it, but for some reason Diamond is not even really name-ish to me in English.
That said, I am all in favor of breaking out the obscure fashions of the 1800s. One of the reasons that I like Silver and Stirling for boys, and Gilda and Golden for girls.

I don't think I like any names for either gender
Unisex names I don't mind...
Lindsey - for a boy (though is it still really considered unisex or purely girl name)
Jocelyn - for a boy
Morgan - for a boy
Hayden - for a boy
Madison - for a boy
Sky - for a boy
Rowan - for a boy
Pip - for a boy
Actually like Eden and Robin for either gender, though prefer on boys
