gender neutral names I personally like
- Brook
Origin:
English nature nameMeaning:
"small stream"Description:
Brooke variation – or is the other way around? – that makes it more a nature name, less an eighties-style androgynous name.
- Brookes
Description:
Brookes is a masculine surname-turned-first-name of English origin, derived from the Old English 'broc' meaning 'brook' or 'stream.' Originally denoting someone who lived near a brook, it has the pleasant association of flowing water and natural landscapes. As a first name, Brookes emerged following the trend of using surnames as given names, offering a distinguished and preppy quality. The additional 's' gives it a more distinctive feel than the more common 'Brook' or 'Brooks.' While not among the most popular names, Brookes has appeal for parents seeking something sophisticated with English heritage and a subtle connection to nature.
- Brooks
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"of the brook"Description:
A nature name, a word name, and a surname name, Brooks has plenty of cool factor. It gives off cowboy vibes and a sporty feel, while also maintaining a smart, collected image.
- Brooks
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"of the brook"Description:
A fresh and gender-neutral take on Gen Z favorite Brooke, Brooks is a stylish and sleek choice. Currently in the US Top 100 for boys, Brooks is also given to 70 girls each year. A small number at the moment, but, with Harper, Avery, Emerson and Marlowe trending upwards, that number could increase in coming years.
- Bryony
Origin:
Latin flower nameMeaning:
"to sprout"Description:
Bryony is an unusually strong plant name --the bryony is a wild climbing vine with green flowers --that caught on in the U.K. before sprouting here. The name of the young character in the Ian McEwan novel Atonement is spelled Briony, which is the variation and Bryony the original.
