Gender-neutral names have been recently sought after for all letters of the alphabet. In this list we focus on those unique, gender-neutral names that start with the letter B. Some feel that a name is not unique if it’s common in its country of origin. However, when we use words such as unique or unusual, we are referring to names that are less common in the United States. Therefore, we put gender-neutral names on this list that people may enjoy from all over the world, whether unique in your country or not. Also, when a name is found among all genders, it may be considered super popular for one specific gender but not the other. Or, such as with the name Orion, the name may be more popular for those seeking gender-neutral names. Review this list and let us know which you would use for a bundle of joy – or maybe even for renaming yourself!
