pink and blue cupcakes

In 2024, close to 2,700 names appeared in the U.S. baby name data both as girl names and as boy names.

Which of these names were the most gender-neutral overall?

To create a useful set of rankings, I focused on names given to at least 150 babies in total. I sorted these names by how evenly they were given to babies of both genders, and the following came out on top:

Female usageMale usage
1. Charlie50.3% (2,109 girls)49.7% (2,084 boys)
2. Arden49.5% (237 girls)50.5% (242 boys)
3. Justice50.6% (206 girls)49.4% (201 boys)
4. Akari50.7% (107 girls)49.3% (104 boys)
5. Kit50.8% (188 girls)49.2% (182 boys)
6. Huntley51.0% (102 girls)49.0% (98 boys)
7. Alexis48.7% (604 girls)51.3% (636 boys)
8. Kacey51.6% (225 girls)48.4% (211 boys)
9. Divine48.3% (97 girls)51.7% (104 boys)
10. Jael51.7% (148 girls)48.3% (138 boys)
11. Jelani48.1% (87 girls)51.9% (94 boys)
12. Ashtyn47.9% (81 girls)52.1% (88 boys)
13. Jules47.9% (81 girls)52.1% (88 boys)
14. Campbell52.1% (273 girls)47.9% (251 boys)
15. Iman52.3% (92 girls)47.7% (84 boys)
16. Dakota52.3% (1,155 girls)47.7% (1,053 boys)
17. Hollis47.5% (188 girls)52.5% (208 boys)
18. True47.5% (206 girls)52.5% (228 boys)
19. Blake52.6% (1,457 girls)47.4% (1,311 boys)
20. Brighton53.0% (88 girls)47.0% (78 boys)

22. Jamie46.3% (391 girls)53.7% (453 boys)
23. Joan46.1% (188 girls)53.9% (220 boys)
24. Sidney46.1% (117 girls)53.9% (137 boys)
25. Chandler46.0% (297 girls)54.0% (348 boys)

More than half of the above appeared on the 2023 list as well.

None of last year’s fifty-fifty splits were popular enough to make the cut, but Lou — given to 70 girls and 70 boys — came close.

Where did the baby name Cymphonique come from in 2012?

Cymphonique Miller

The unique name Cymphonique appeared in the U.S. baby name data twice in the early 2010s, then dropped back below the SSA’s five-baby threshold:

  • 2014: unlisted
  • 2013: 7 baby girls named Cymphonique
  • 2012: 5 baby girls named Cymphonique [debut]
  • 2011: unlisted
  • 2010: unlisted

Where did it come from?

Teenage singer and actress Cymphonique Miller.

She was the star of the music-focused Nickelodeon sitcom How to Rock, which aired in its entirety during 2012 (from February to December). Her character, Kacey Simon, was both a high school student and the lead vocalist of a pop band called Gravity 5.

Cymphonique also co-wrote and sang the show’s theme song, “Only You Can Be You.”

Cymphonique Miller is the daughter of rapper Master P (born Percy Miller) and niece of rapper Silkk The Shocker (born Vyshonn Miller, probably).

Her half-brother, Percy Miller, Jr., became famous as pre-teen rapper Lil’ Romeo in the early 2000s. In fact, the baby name Romeo saw an uptick in usage in 2001 thanks to Lil’ Romeo’s biggest hit, “My Baby,” which reached #3 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart in June of that year.

The most gender-neutral baby names in the U.S. in 2023

pink and blue cupcakes

In 2023, more than 2,700 names appeared in the U.S. baby name data both as girl names and as boy names.

Which of these names were the most gender-neutral overall?

To create a useful set of rankings, I (first) excluded any name not given to at least 150 babies in total, then (second) sorted the remaining names by how evenly they were given to babies of each gender.

Here are the 25 names that came out on top:

Female usageMale usage
1. Blake49.63% (1,346 girls)50.37% (1,366 boys)
2. Akari50.46% (110 girls)49.54% (108 boys)
3. Campbell50.47% (215 girls)49.53% (211 boys)
4. Brighton50.60% (85 girls)49.40% (83 boys)
5. Marlo49.26% (100 girls)50.74% (103 boys)
6. Azariah50.77% (527 girls)49.23% (511 boys)
7. Bellamy48.74% (330 girls)51.26% (347 boys)
8. Justice48.70% (243 girls)51.30% (256 boys)
9. Ramsey48.68% (92 girls)51.32% (97 boys)
10. Arie51.34% (96 girls)48.66% (91 boys)
11. Finley48.57% (1,106 girls)51.43% (1,171 boys)
12. Ashtyn48.54% (100 girls)51.46% (106 boys)
13. Alexis51.51% (681 girls)48.49% (641 boys)
14. Wynn48.48% (80 girls)51.52% (85 boys)
15. Charlie51.66% (2,235 girls)48.34% (2,091 boys)
16. Kacey47.75% (191 girls)52.25% (209 boys)
17. Robin52.37% (354 girls)47.63% (322 boys)
18. True47.54% (203 girls)52.46% (224 boys)
19. Perry47.47% (122 girls)52.53% (135 boys)
20. Honor47.37% (99 girls)52.63% (110 boys)
21. Arden52.67% (237 girls)47.33% (213 boys)
22. Jael47.31% (132 girls)52.69% (147 boys)
23. Tatum46.83% (1,314 girls)53.17% (1,492 boys)
24. Aris46.49% (86 girls)53.51% (99 boys)
25. Divine53.55% (113 girls)46.45% (98 boys)

I did experiment with other cut-off points (e.g., 50 babies, 100 babies, 200 babies), but I thought 150 offered the best result — an interesting mix of names, backed up by numbers high enough to be meaningful.

Nearly all of the (more than seventy) baby names that were even fifty-fifty splits last year were bestowed just a handful of times.
