Top 50 gender-neutral baby names you’ll obsess over 😍

Many gender-neutral baby names are not truly unisex, meaning they're used predominantly for one sex and only rarely for the other.

I'm thinking of names like Addison and Madison, which started as boys' names but are now used nearly exclusively for girls, and names like James, in the Top 10 for boys but receiving a lot of attention as the middle name for a couple of high profile celebrity baby girls.

But which names are most evenly split between the sexes, so that they can truly be called gender-neutral? We analyzed all unisex names to find the most popular choices with at least a 40-60 split in either direction.

The number one truly unisex name is, surprisingly, Charlie, which started as a boys' nickname-name but is now used exactly evenly for girls and boys. Surname-names Finley and Skyler rank second and third, with word-names Justice and Royal rounding out the top five.

Here, the top 50 truly androgynous baby names, with the gender split by percentage, according to recent Social Security statistics.
