My friends are having a baby girl in a few weeks and are looking for unusual (but not too out there) or unisex names for the baby. The middle name will be Kate and the surname is only 4 letters starting H

Any suggestions?

Addison? That's not to common and unisex

Kimberly would sound nice with Kate and a short surname. There was a boy in my class in school named Kimberly or Kim for short so it works for boys and girls.

Blair? It's my husbands name but is unisex.

What about Hunter?

My niece is called Hunter, but it's also a boys name.

Let us know what they choose.


Short and sweet because I sent this from my iPhone.

Dylan is their first preference atm. They did have Charli on the list but they are not as keen on that anymore

Thanks for the suggestions, I am passing them along :)

I think Rory for a girl comes from Aurora

2 of my kids are girls and their names are Baylee and Cody.....one of my boys is Riley and the other is Cooper. I realise Cooper is not a unisex name traditionally, and I dont like it for a girl, but I was reading the birth announcements a few weeks ago and there was a baby girl names Cooper in there!

Oh I forgot to mention. The aforementioned Kim had trouble at school. Teased by classmates for having a girls name. And a few yrs got put down as a female on the school rosters :O

Maybe it's not so bad now that there are more unusual and unisex names about. This was back in the 80's early 90's. Once he was in high school the teasing stopped.

One of my friends liked Tommi/Tommy for a girl.. i think it would be cute, short for Tomika or something like that... I also like Frankie, (short for francesca etc) super cool! I also love Hunter for a girl, I always wanted a Hunter Lily (Hunter Kate is also cute!)... a nice feminine middle name makes a unisex name sound prettier, IMO :)
