Here are the most popular unisex baby names for 2025
Picking the perfect name for your baby can be tough. Not only are there literally millions to choose from, but for those having children with a partner, there's the minor (see: major) issue of both agreeing on the name. Which sometimes can be impossible.
Then of course, what if the title you had in mind for the little one just doesn't suit them when you finally get to see their face? Plus, if you decide not to find out the sex of the baby until you give birth, it might be difficult to narrow down names for each gender.
This is where we come in...
Of all the different baby names out there, did you know a lot of them are actually unisex? Meaning you can literally pick your baby's name from the minute you find out you're expecting.
And even if you're not ready to become a parent – or perhaps you never want to be, but instead are searching for the perfect name for your pooch – there's no denying that it's always fun finding out the most popular and questionable names that are doing the rounds.
From traditional to contemporary to completely unique, hopefully, the expansive list below makes the process a little easier.
Gender-neutral names are on the rise
According to Sophie Kihm, name expert at Nameberry, the number of titles considered unisex increased by 56% in England and Wales in 2023. She told Metro that the reason gender-neutral names are rising is because they "give children flexibility should they not identify with their birth gender [later down the line]."
She also explained that a lot of unisex names are typically more modern than traditional 'male' and 'female' names. And, that contemporary titles are proving to be more popular, with the influence of major pop culture moments driving this increase. For example, after the release of Greta Gerwig's Barbie in 2023, there was a 603% spike in the name of the iconic doll.
So, without further ado, here's the full lowdown (in no particular order) on some of the most popular unisex baby names right now.

What other name trends have been popular in 2024?
It's not just unisex names that have been leading the way this year. Other trends have proven popular, too. For example, Nameberry's 2024 baby name trend predictions revealed that there have been a few themes favoured by parents.
As mentioned, one of the biggest trends was 'Barbie-themed' names. However, they were not directly linked to the film, rather the movie influenced a shift towards feminity. Names included Billie (for obvious reasons), Matilda, Eleanora and Tallulah.
Secondly, there was a big surge in 'grown up' names, a lot of which had vintage vibes. Popular names included Betty, Florence and Stanley.
And finally, there was a big trend whereby parents used 'traditional' boy names for baby girls. Examples include Romy, Blair and Eden.
Happy baby name picking!
