I like names that start with A and E. But of course, I'm welcome to all name ideas. Some ideas for names I had were Eccel or Day. Any help?
I have always loved the name Ashton! I really want to change my name but my parents would probably be against it.
Aaron/Erin [similar sounding, A has male usage, E has female usage] Gwyn/Gwen/Guin [Gwyn is male used mostly in Wales, but Gwen is female almost everywhere, Guin is most unisex] Jesse/Jess [with the 'e' at the end has male usage, the latter being short for Jessica which is feminine and used on females] Jaime/Jamie [The first is mainly female and the second is mainly male, but I think both work as unisex] Alexander/Alexandra/Alex/Sasha [Sasha is Russian male nickname of Alexander, but is mostly female elsewhere] Ellis/Elise Emile/Emily [Emile I think is mainly French usage and is male, Emily has female usage] Emmett/Emma/Em [The first is almost all male usage, the second almost all female usage and the last is a shortened probably nick-name form of the two] Jade/Jayde [almost all female name, feminine, but seen some males use the first spelling] Lee/Leigh/Layton [Reminds me of the 'professor layton' games. The first is almost all male, the second almost all female: said as either 'Lee' or 'Lee-ah'] Tobie/Toby Robin/Robyn Billie/Billy Dillon/Dylan/Dylen Kim/Kym Van [Short for Vanessa, feminine, or just by itself] Charlie [Short for Charles or Charlotte] Joshua [almost all male name but feminine] Maria [almost all female but I've heard of some males using it] Some names that were originally male but drifted [or drifting] into female category: Drew Lacy Hillary Ian Finley
Good list. I like the idea of keeping the pronounciation but coming up with a totally different spelling of one of those names. Like, Arin, or whatever. ---------- Post added 30th May 2016 at 05:20 PM ---------- I also like how names that sound like abbreviations or nick names sound ambiguous. Like Raymond or Rachel can be Ray. Christopher or Christina can be Chris. I guess they are typically shortening to the root that sounds more masculine, and you'd have to decide if that's what you want or not. Lots of elementary school age kids have first names that sound like last names, which tends to be a bit gender ambiguous. You could look through lists of sirnames and see if anything fits.
Thanks Secrets5. That's an extremely useful list. My favorites from there were probably: Erin, Robyn, Gwyn, Ellis, Alex, Em (could be changed to Emi? i know males and females use it), Tobie, Layton, Finley, and Van
