2023 is the year of Gender Neutral Baby Names! Want to keep the sex of your little one a surprise, but still pick a name in advance?
Choosing a name for your baby is an exciting yet challenging task for every parent. Speaking from experience, naming my first was easy, but by the time number 2 and 3 rolled around, I was still trying to figure out the name just days before they arrived.
With the rise of gender-neutral names, parents now have more options to choose from. Mums and Dads are looking for names that are more unique and uncommon, preferring not to have their child as the 5th Britney in their class, as was our case. Gender-neutral names are not only versatile but usually unique and extremely versatile.
