Unisex baby names or gender-bending names are one of the hottest baby name trends. Jessica Simpson got in on this trend when she named her daughter Maxwell Drew. Tiger Wood’s ex-mistress, Rachel Uchitel, named her daughter the traditionally boy name Wyatt.

Many unisex baby names, such as Logan, Jayden or Cameron, are great names for both boys and girls, however it is interesting to note whether they are given more to girls or boys.
