Aesthetic Gender Neutral Names Novels & Stories

"You're getting more beautiful every day, Indie. Your skin, the way you carry her. I want to spend the rest of this break just touching you." Claudine sighed, leaning into his strength. "I've been thinking about the names again. We agreed on Alexandra Lena as our choice, but it still feels so formal for a little girl." "It's strong," Hades insisted. "She needs a strong name for the life she has. But she needs love, too." Claudine smiled softly. "She needs a sweet nickname, a private one, for when she's small."

Sometimes crying while putting lotion on my stomach because… how did something so small make me feel so big inside? Complete. Boy and girl. I hadn’t picked names yet, but the list on my nightstand kept growing. For the girl: Lily Ava Aurora Isla Maya For the boy: Elijah Luca Noah Elias Kai I kept circling “Aurora” and “Kai.” Something about those two stuck with me. Light and sea. Morning and calm. “Aurora and Kai,” I whispered one night, lying in bed and pressing a hand to my belly. “Do you like that? Hmm? My stars.”

"And if it's a girl? She'll probably have you wrapped around her little finger in five seconds." "She’ll never leave the house," Killian joked, though his voice had a protective edge. "But seriously... if she has your spirit, she’ll be the heart of this pack. We need a name that reflects that." He slowed down as they turned onto the long, wooded drive leading to the pack house. "What about Aiden for a boy? It means 'little fire.' He’s already survived so much drama; it fits." "Aiden," Isabella whispered, testing the weight of it. "It’s strong. I like it. And for a girl?"

Is there any you have in mind? 'I really love your name. What about names beginning with Z?' 'Like Zelda? I can't think of any other names beginning with Z.' 'I was thinking more like Zion or Zayne, for a boy, and Zara or Zoey for a girl.' 'Oh! I really like those names!' 'I think we have the side rail upside down,' Ace frowns at the half-assembled cot, and jiggles the rail that won't move up and down like it’s meant to. I pick up the instructions and take a closer look.

I was elated. Upon walking in, we grabbed a cart. First things first we went to the clothes. Everything was so divided by gender. Pink for girls and blue for boys. "Cade, we don't know the gender? Not to mention boys like pink too, and girls like blue." I mind-linked him. "I know. I think it is ridiculous, too. Let's pick out some things we both like that are gender-neutral." "Everything is gender-neutral." he laughed. But a lot of the clothes we picked out were green. When he suggested creams, I laughed so hard I thought I would die. "Cream for a baby? Are you kidding? All the throw-up and poop, those stains never come out. Trust me, I have three younger siblings." I mind-linked. He promptl

I ask, watching his careful, considering expression. "They're beautiful," he says finally, his voice rough. "Meaningful, without being burdened by expectation. I think they're exactly right." Landon considers the names with his usual thorough seriousness. "Kael and Ashira," he repeats. "Those are good names. Easy to say clearly, which is important for effective communication." I laugh at his characteristically practical assessment, pulling him close again. "I'm glad you approve." "I do," he confirms. "Very much."

he whispered against my lips with a smile before sitting back beside me. We had been going over baby names for over an hour and have only found a handful. Which were mostly boy names and a couple girl ones I picked. But, they didn't have a spark to them, like they weren't meant to be. "Sam?" he suggested, that one didn't sound half bad and was gender neutral. "I actually really like that one." I smiled up at him and he grinned. "Me too." he replied, leaning over to kiss me again which made me smile even more.

"Only our places are reversed and you're having difficulty controlling yourself. So. Cesar is out. Brutus is out. Hmm. Flavia is too flamboyant. Demosthenes is a dog name... Sinna?" Nyxen's face blanked momentarily, and then he burst out laughing. "So it was highly tasteful," Declan murmured. "Subtle power. A name to reckon with. Elekectra is too cliche, as is Hera, Venus, Hestia. I'll guess her name, you know I will. Tell me and I'll stop naming names." Nyxen slowly stopped laughing, though continued grinning. He looked at Declan with a relaxed smile. "You're right. This is ridiculous." Then he walked over and backhand slapped him, hard.

We went back to chatting about the babies and Kira gushing about her plans for the nursery. "For the girl’s side of the room, I’m thinking pastel yellow and gray," she said, her eyes lighting up. "And for the boy, sage green and gray. I want them to feel cozy, not super cliché." "Cute!" I smiled. "Very gender neutral and fresh. They're gonna love it." I glanced at the clock and excused myself casually, trying not to look too eager. “There’s, uh, something I need to check upstairs real quick…”

The children sat with unusual seriousness while May lowered herself comfortably into a chair. “All right,” Damien said. “Let’s hear the ideas.” Aria raised her hand like she was in school. “I think her name should be something pretty and soft. Like... Bella. Or Lily. Or Angel.” Aiden immediately shook his head. “No. She should have a strong name. Like Zara. Or Nova. Or Captain.” May laughed so suddenly she had to hold her stomach. Damien covered his grin with his hand. “Captain?” he repeated. “For confidence,” Aiden said.
