Unisex Names

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I was thinking about names the other day and it occurred to me that some of favorites are not gender-specific. Also, I think that names usually associated with one sex are way cooler on the opposite sex. I thought of a few. Any others?

Peanut???

3

Oh yeah, and:

Nat & Tip

4

Yes, I’ve known two people named Peanut. One male, one female. Real names, not nicknames. This is Tennessee, remember.

Peacenut,
TN*hippie

5

Also knew a gal named Cricket…I always thought it was a great name for either sex.

6

Tony.

I have a male and a female cousin by that name

7

I knew a girl nicknamed peanut, but had never heard of it as an actual nake.

Kirby can be either, can’t it?

8

Oh sure, maybe the parents think the idea of a unisex name, one usually associated with the oposite sex, will be cute…but my friend Courtney hates his parents.

9

Jordan and Taylor are also unisex names.

10

Shelley. My mom’s name. Her middle name is Dale.

Kid #7, and the grandparents wanted to be prepared for any eventuality.

11

Ray.

Do Owen and Vivian really qualify? I’ve never heard of a man named Vivian or a woman named Owen . . . Not sure about Xavier, either.

And I hate to do this, but a lot of those “unisex” names are nicknames interchangeable between male and female variants. Eddie is short for Edward and Edwina, but both are pretty strongly “sexed” names.

–
“Darling? Strange name for a guy. Last person I called ‘Darling’ was pregnant 20 second later . . .”

13

Knew a guy who named his first child “Rat.” Not as a nickname, mind you, but as the name on the birth certificate.

14

Genesis
Opium
Skye
George
Jan

15

Morgan.

Just found out that a friends first wife’s name was DUANE.

The current penchant for gals named Michelle to spell it MICHELE which is the Italian spelling for Michael.

Don’t forget actress MICHAEL LEARNED. She played the mother on THE WALTONS.
