A different take on gendered names
In today's society, some couples are going the opposite of the traditional route and throwing gender rules out the window. Some parents are choosing names that are traditionally considered boy names, like Harper or Riley. Some other names that are on the list are: Rowan, Finley, Teagan, Peyton, Sage, and Everly. However, boys' names are adopting this trend as well. For example, some of the most popular boy names can also work as girls' names, too such as Jayden, Elliot and Charlie.
