Baby Names

EX POST FACTO DISCLAIMER:We are likely NOT going to be using any of these names for our next child. This post was originally written as a part of a series of posts designed to drag out the process of announcing whether we were having a boy or a girl.

The names on this list are examples of what could be considered androgynous or unisex names. We were teasing people by giving a list of names that potentially could be used for either a boy or a girl.

For a current list of the most "gender neutral" baby names click here.


Agreeing on a name for Joseph was a lengthy process that didn't end until after Joseph's birth. We don't want to deal with the same struggle in naming our second child, so we're taking input on a good name.

What do you think of the following names?
  • Pat
  • Chris
  • Jamie
  • Jessie
  • Alex
  • Riley
  • Jean
  • Robin
  • Terry

We're hoping to engender some useful suggestions here.

You two are my least favorite members of the family right now. If you didn't have Joseph, I'd probably disown you.

You forgot Leslie, Ryan, Riley, Dylan, and Jody.

Also, I'm going to forget to mention Erin in my acknowledgments page. Won't THAT be funny.

by the way -- these names are PRETEND. i mean, they are real names, but they are not necessarily on our list of consideration.
