HelpRe: Do you think flower/gemstone girl names can be unisex names?
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
There are quite a few names that fall into those categories that are considered masculine or at least would not invite confusion.
Aster
Jonquil
Alder
Cedar
Linden
(Insert other tree names)
I also know in some parts of the world, even English speaking, Jade is gender neutral.
Onyx and Garnet could also pass as masculine.
I do think it’s important that parents realize that binary names do exist, and while as an adult you may think it’s sweet to name your boy Ruby or Lily, the child may not appreciate always having his gender assumed to be female based on a traditionally feminine name. There are lots of other ways to teach a child to be non-conforming.
