100 Unique Unisex Names for Girls

Updated Mon Sep 02 2024

Unique unisex names are one of our favorite categories for baby girls. (For boys too, but that’s another story.)

The 110 names here are our favorites below the Top 1000 baby girl names in the US. They also are all truly gender-neutral, used between 35 percent and 65 percent of the time for baby girls. In other words, all of them are both uncommon and unisex.

Unique unisex names are becoming more popular for both baby girls and baby boys. Some unisex names that were once quite rare, such as Harper and Riley and Quinn, now rank among the Top 100 baby names for girls.

If you’re looking for unique unisex names that sidestep conventional gender identity for your daughter, all of these have a lot of style.

Top Unique Unisex Girl Names

This list ranks our group of unique unisex names for girls by popularity, with the top names such as Shea, Arden and Campbell given to more than 200 baby girls last year, while those at the bottom of the list — Rise, Poe, and Mckinnon — were used for only a handful of baby girls.

Unique Unisex Names Ranked by Gender

This list ranks our group of unique unisex names by their relative usage for girls and boys. All these names are truly gender-neutral, but some are slightly more neutral than others — so the names at the top of the list, Tommie and Raleigh, are used 65 percent of the time for baby girls, while the names at the bottom of the list — Itzae and Rise — are used 35 percent of the time for girls. Hani, Indra, Kindred, Athens, and Marti hit the 50-50 mark, achieving true gender parity.
