Names that suit anyone

Names like Rowan, River, Sage and Kai are used for boys and girls. The wheel presents ten, many of them inspired by nature, and invites you to add more.

Gender-neutral names give a child room to define themselves. Check how they sound with your surname and whether a nickname feels natural.

Narrowing the list

Spin and keep a running list of your favorites. Ask friends and relatives which names they like, then remove any that carry unwanted associations. Use the wheel to break a tie when two names seem equally good.

What makes a name gender-neutral

A gender-neutral name is one that is used for people of any gender, such as Rowan, River, Sage and Kai. Some come from nature, some from surnames and some from other languages. The same name can lean masculine in one country and feminine in another, so look at how it is used where you live.

Check the meaning in other languages

A name that sounds pleasant in English may mean something unexpected elsewhere. Look up each name on your shortlist in the languages your family and community speak. A quick search also shows how the name is pronounced, which matters for names borrowed from other cultures.

Nicknames, formality and the future

Think about how the name will work at every age: as a baby, as a teenager, in a job interview. Check whether it offers both a short and a formal version, such as Alexis and Lex or Rowan and Ro. Offering choices later lets the child decide how they want to be known.
