While it is still pretty common in the southeast, gender neutral names have grown in the midwest and Pacific Northwest.Louisiana takes the top spot with 17.5% of babies given gender neutral names. Rhode Island has the fewest number of babies with unisex names at 9.1%.Do Nicknames Count as Gender Neutral Names?When it comes to gender neutral nicknames, that's a bit more difficult to analyze.

Because of that, Names.org says it's very likely gender neutral names are even more common than the data can show.For example, Charlie is a gender neutral name that can be used every day as a nickname for both Charles and Charlotte. The same goes for Alex as a nickname for both Alexander and Alexandra.Some other gender neutral nicknames:Terry (Terrence, Teresa)Bobbie (Robert, Roberta)Jackie (Jack, Jacqueline)Chris (Christopher, Christian, Christine, Christina)Top Gender Neutral Names of All TimeAs we mentioned, gender neutral names are not new.
