18 Unisex Names You'll Want To Give Your Baby

Who says names have to be gender exclusive?

1. Alex

Netflix / Via giphy.com

It's short and sweet, plus it's easy to remember, which is a bonus if you have more than one child.

2. Hayden

ABC / Via giphy.com

If you wanted to get a little creative, you could even drop the "e" for Haydn. You don't need the extra vowel anyway – live a little.

3. Freddie

http://W.L.S.T. / Via giphy.com

Given the opportunity, you should always name your child after one of the best performers of all time.

4. Shannon

The WB / Via giphy.com

If you choose Shannon, you can secure your name but still keep the gender a surprise. Perfect!

5. Stevie

FX / Via diantos.tumblr.com

It's just such a sweet name tbh.

6. Ashley

Warner Bros. Pictures / Via thejariana.tumblr.com

Don't let one half of the Olsen twins fool you; this name totally works for baby boys as well as girls.

7. Charlie

United Artists / Via giphy.com

Possibly the greatest unisex name. It's just so quirky, fun, and adorable. Why wouldn't you want it?

8. Billy

Universal Pictures / Focus Features / Via giphy.com

Apparently Billy means "determined protector." Sure, why not?

10. Franky

If it's good enough for the reigning princess of pop, it's good enough for everyone.

12. Morgan

Morgan has been making a comeback as a female name, but that doesn't mean you can't also use it for your future boy.

13. Jesse

Your child could be Jesse's girl. Or boy. Whatever.

14. Riley

17. Drew

18. Blake

The CW / Via only-gossip-girl.tumblr.com

Blake Lively has proven this name can be feminine as well as masculine. Because, let's be real, no name should ever be reserved for one gender, that's just a waste. Bonus points for this actress naming her daughter James, which is another unisex gem.
