How to choose the right gender-neutral name?
Find a gender-neutral name that speaks to you
Are you looking for a name that works just as well for a girl as for a boy? Great choice! Gender-neutral names often have that modern touch that makes them unique. Some are simple, others more original or striking. Take the time to say them out loud, test them in your daily life, and let yourself be won over by the ones that make you smile.
A first name that matches the last name
A simple little trick: say the gender-neutral name with the last name. Is it easy to pronounce and pleasant to the ear? Even for a name that can work for both genders, this helps make sure the combination works well.
Ask for opinions from your loved ones
Talking about your ideas with those around you can open up new avenues. Your friends, your family… or even your colleagues — sometimes an unexpected suggestion becomes a true favourite. And it can also confirm your preferences.
Get inspired… and trust your instincts
You can go for a classic or dare something original. Trust your instincts: the name that feels right will be the one. Find more ideas in our name catalogue to help you make the best choice.
