So I've been trying to figure out a gender-neutral name for myself; something that won't have me cringing over femininity on some days or masculinity on others. My birth name is Brianna, so I was thinking maybe "Bry" or something like that... dropping the "an" sound from "Bryan" makes it sound gender-neutral to me, but then there's the issue of spelling and how to keep it from looking like "bree". Anyone have any suggestions on this?
Have you looked into baby name websites or books? There's a lot of unisex/gender neutral names out there. Here are some sites: Unisex Baby Names | Names for both Girls and Boys Behind the Name: Unisex Names 10 Unisex Names That Are Still Actually Unisex | BabyZone
I have a name i really like: Yosia. It fits with my birth name (Joshua) and i love it. I guess i will change at somepoint in my life.
From your actual name into a gender neutral? Bryan isn't gender neutral. Definitely male. Bree or Bri sounds more female than male. Definitely look at what Daydreamer said. Luckily I was born with a gender neutral name.
I think Bry is a good name, and I pronounce it like the beginning of "Bryan" when written that way. You could also spell it Brye. Your name is a bit hard otherwise :O You could go for something Like Reese? Or Ryan (that's too boyish, though, I think?)
Thanks for the ideas, everybody. I know it's kind of a hard name to work with, but I didn't want to stray too far from it. Still not exactly sure exactly what I'm going to go with, but I think I have it narrowed down now, so it's a bit less overwhelming.
