Unisex Name
A unisex name (also known as an epicene name, a gender-neutral name or an androgynous name) is a given name that is not gender-specific. Unisex names are common in the English-speaking world, especially in the United States. By contrast, some countries have Naming laws, laws preventing unisex names, requiring parents to give their children sex-specific names.

Names may have different gender connotations from country to country or language to language.

For example, Christians, particularly Catholics, may give a child a se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
