Today we're talking baby names, and to be more specific, some seriously badass unisex names that work for baby boys or girls. Whether you call them gender neutral names or non-binary baby names, it's simply strong unisex names that can be used for males or females.

There's been a rise in people choosing gender fluid names for their child, especially celebrities. These days it's quite common to use strong masculine names for girls and softer, feminine boy names.

Why Do Parents Choose Popular Unisex Names?

Why would someone want a unisex name, you ask?

Like I just mentioned, it's just something that's becoming trendy with the way the world is changing and how we look at, and understand gender/sex etc.

Some parents, simply want to wait til the birth of their baby to find out the gender so they like to have a few intersex names on hand.

Some parents want baby names that are unique and uncommon. They may not want their child to be the 5th Britney in the class.

Some people like boy names for girls and vise versa.

Whatever the reason, non gendered baby names are all the rage and on the rise!

Check out these beautiful baby names that aren't gender specific.

Did you know they're actually referred to as epicene baby names.

Tips For Choosing a Strong Badass Unisex Name For Your Baby

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when choosing your badass unisex name for you little boy or girl.

If you're worried about whether people will mistake your child's sex. You could always opt for a more masculine/feminine middle name as a way to distinguish the sex.

You could also consider alternate spellings than what you see traditionally. We often see girl versions of unisex names with an "i" ending like Toni.

The spelling is also another way to make your child's moniker more unique (if that's something you're after). For instance, Rain, Raine and Reign.

If you aren't ready to commit to a unisex name, why not think of a name that has cute unisex nicknames instead? For instance, if you decide to name your little girl Francine, an absolutely adorable unisex nickname could be Frankie!

I think it's important to pick something that speaks to you in some way. Maybe a name you feel a connection to? Some fond memory? This way you can be fairly sure you didn't just pick something trendy that you'll end up hating later!
