In recent years, there’s been a stronger, louder conversation about gender. Specifically, the power to have a say in one’s own identification. More parents are moving toward gender-neutral, or unisex baby names in hopes of promoting more freedom for baby as they grow older. Here are 12 adorable gender neutral baby names!

1. Avery: Believe it or not, this one means “ruler of elves” in Old English. A little quirky but a short and simple choice for sure.

2. Dylan/Dillion: Spelled for boys and girls respectively, this rather common name means “great tide”. Talk about majestic!

3. Jesse/Jessie: Another pick with various spellings, this name represents wealth. Surely your baby will thank you for choosing this one!

4. Peyton: A fitting choice for boys and girls alike. Means “from the town of soldiers and warriors”. Looking to instill a bit of strength in baby? Might be a good choice!

5. Quinn: There are plenty of spellings for this common name, meaning “having wisdom, intelligence, and reason”. Not a bad trio, huh?

6. Ryan/Ryann: The typical boy and girl spelling, respectively. Means “little ruler”! More common for boys but an adorable pick for a girl, too!

7. Jordan: This name is associated with water, specifically meaning “flowing down”. Multiple spelling options here as well!

8. Parker: Translates to “keeper of the park” in Old French. A great choice for both genders, but extra unique for girls!
