The 25 Most Popular Unisex Baby Names (From A-Z)

18. Parker (PAR-kur)

Another name of English origin meaning “park keeper,” Parker is becoming a very trendy unisex name. It was put on the map by indie actress Parker Posey who took this common surname and turned it into a lovely feminine given name.

Nameberry does point out that Parker is about three times more common for boys than it is for girls, but nonetheless it is on the rise for both genders. It’s one of the Top 100 names for boys.

19. Peyton (pai-tUHN)

Peyton is of English origin meaning “fighting-man’s estate.” Despite its masculine meaning, Peyton is a popular unisex name. We expected to see this name drop off since it’s peak in the ’90s, but it’s maintained its rank throughout the years. We think this may have to do with its traditional southern roots.

In 2019, Peyton broke through the Top 100 for girl names at #98, but sits somewhere in the 400’s for boys. On Nameberry’s unisex list, it’s the #6 unisex name in the U.S.

20. Quinn (KWIN)

Quinn is a strong Irish name meaning “descendant of Conn, chief leader, intelligence.” Nameberry also lists it as the Anglicized version of the Irish patronymic surname Ó Cuinn. It is a well recognized name in Ireland as one of the most sobresaliente clans from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland.

While it’s no doubt a strong, masculine name, this Celtic surname is becoming more popular among the ladies! In fact, nowadays this name is more commonly seen in girls than it is in boys. This may have been encouraged with the help of female characters on television like on Glee, as well as the MTV show Daria and Zoey 101.

If you like the sound of this name but aren’t finta sold on it, try other variations like Quinton, Quincy, or Finn.
