Hi all,

I know there are lots of "unisex" names out there, with lots of boys' names becoming unisex lately. Just wanted to draw up a list of names you all consider unisex. Also, please list any spelling differences and whether you consider them more for boys, girls or really either-or.

What is your personal opinion about unisex names?

Thanks :)

I like unisex names for the most part, although I'm not too fond of my son's name being a girl name. His name is Cameron, and I don't think I'd ever use it for a girl, Camryn for a girl spelled like that is okay, but I still think of it as a boy. Here are the unisex names I can think of:
