Bryce, Jordan, Jude, and 200+ More of the Best Gender Neutral Baby Names

There are plenty of reasons you might want a shortlist of gender neutral baby names. For instance, if you're not finding out the gender of your baby before their born, but you want to have a name decided on ahead of time - picking a name that works for any gender is the perfect solve. Or maybe you just prefer gender neutral names to baby names that are more traditionally masculine or feminine (although, of course, we love using a baby boy name for girls!) Gender neutral baby names cut across categories. You can find gender neutral names amongst Victorian-era baby names, trendy names, and more unique picks, which means you can find the perfect gender neutral baby name no matter what "vibe" of name you're going for. And to get your creativity going, we rounded up more than 200 unisex names that will suit your baby no matter what. Ahead, find some of our favorite gender-neutral names for babies, from A to Z.

Ease and Erase

For some reason I am writing this series in reverse?

Jax x Shiloh, Adrian x Shiloh (platonic) 

warning: mentions miscarriage and fertility issues 

tagging the same list from the last Blood Bound entry. Let me know if you would like to be added or removed :  @ooo-barff-ooo @zaffrenotes@sleepwalkingelite@brightpinkpeppercorn @endlessly-searching-for-you @nekkidmolerat @notoriouscs @cordoniantrash@endlesshero1122 @mind-reader1@indiacater@moneyfordiamonds @simmerbychoices 

Shiloh squeezed her eyes shut against the pain. She’d just woken up, the last rays of daylight mixing with the purple blue of dusk, and already the flare ups were enough to make her breath shudder and tears prick her tightly shut eyes. The dreams of course hadn’t helped either. She brought her fist to her mouth to stifle a small gasp, and turned away from Jax so as not to wake him. Her other arm rested against her sore abdomen, palm flat against it.

Her dreams hadn’t really been dreams but flashbacks, vivid ones, of her relationship with Andrew; of its dissolution. Snippets of real life dialogue, color images of people and places.

“Marry Me, Shi,” he dropped to his knee pulling the ring box he’d been carrying for months and months from his pocket. He’d been waiting for the right moment, and finding out that he was about to be a father seemed perfect.

“Shiloh,” he asked quietly but seriously, two months later, “did you know about this?” The doctor had just left the room and she and Andrew were left looking at the bloodwork results. “I only knew it might be hard to get pregnant…but then…then we did, so…”

“We’re going to have to be very careful, Miss Andersen,” the doctor said at her five month checkup, Andrew’s hand tightly holding hers, a look of concern on his face. “You had quite a bit of bleeding, more than the average spotting, and due to your condition you’ll be on bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy.” They’d given her a list of instructions and some recommendations of what to read but she’d just been staring at a poster on the wall of a new mother holding her baby, and she felt a disconnect- that could never be me, could it?

Crying and crying without knowing why, pain and depression and just this overwhelming feeling of emptiness that she knew couldn’t be right. “Come on, Shi, stop crying it’s fine.” He was getting agitated with this, with her.

Waking up to a sickening smell and a sticky warmth. Red. So much red. On the sheets and her legs and even when she shut her eyes.

“I’m sorry Miss Andersen, Mr. Reed, there’s been a miscarriage…”  She stared at the poster in the room, tears falling freely as she heard the news that she knew would change everything.

“Andrew… you…you can’t mean that…” she pleaded with him as he avoided her eyes, moving away as she reached for his hand. It was three weeks later and he hadn’t touched her, hadn’t even kissed her. He couldn’t look at her. In his mind she tricked him- knew that she was damaged, knew that he wanted children more than anything, and didn’t tell him how unlikely it would be. She’d dragged him through this loss and now he just couldn’t go through with it. “I’m sorry Shiloh, I am. But I can’t do this…I can’t marry you…”

He opened her eyes and sighed into her pillow, the dull pain in her lower abdomen settling in for the day. She took a deep breath and sat up slowly, nausea rising and head feeling foggy. It was nothing new, but she hadn’t had a flare up like this in quite a long time. In the three years she’d been with Jax there’d only been one or two that were at this magnitude, and they were early in their relationship. She’d convinced him that they were bouts of the stomach flu, or food poisoning- sharing that you had medical problems that could potentially become serious was not her idea of romance. But this was the first time in over a year and a half, and so Shiloh had started to hope that perhaps the issue was passing, that it wouldn’t even be an issue anymore.  She had clearly been wrong.

She swung her feet out of bed and let them take her to the shower, hoping the hot water and steam would erase the dreams and ease the ache. She peeled her clothes off and stepped under the rainfall showerhead, sighing as she ran her hands through her hair. The water was scalding but she didn’t care. If her skin burned she wouldn’t feel the pain she was in. Suddenly the door to the shower opened and Jax popped his head in, hair messy and eyes still full of sleep. “Good morning, babe,” he joked- it was roughly 7:30 pm- morning when you were a creature of the night or worked for them, like Shiloh did. He let himself into the shower and she moved aside to make room as his arms came around the wet skin of her waist. He kissed the back of her neck gently and she leaned into his body.

“Good morning,” she said softly before turning to kiss him. She brought her hands up to massage through his hair and he closed his eyes with a satisfied smile.

They finished their shower and got themselves dressed and ready, Shiloh fastening her earrings, Jax lacing up his boots. He turned to look at her, taking her in for a few seconds before speaking. “Hey, babe,” he waited for her to turn toward him, one hand still working the clasp of her earring, a tired look on her face. He finished his laces and rose to his feet, crossing the room to brush the hair away from her ear. His fingers took over for hers and he fastened the small diamond studs that he’d given her for Christmas the year before. “Is everything okay? You just seem…” he trailed off, brows furrowed, and she could tell that he knew something was up. She laid a peck to his lips then wiped her thumb across them to remove the burgundy lipstick she’d left there.

“I’ll be okay, baby, just feeling a little nauseous. I’m gonna go to work, and if I have to leave early because I don’t feel well, I will, okay? It’s just been a really busy time for us and I know there’s tons of work to do. ” She gave him a weak smile.

Jax hated when she was sick or in pain. He hated that he couldn’t take it from her. He’d swallow anything that ever hurt her if he could. He hated even more being away from her when he knew she wasn’t feeling well, preferring to take care of her. His only comfort was that she worked for Adrian, and he trusted him more than anyone but Shiloh. He knew Adrian would take care of her if she needed anything. “Okay, Shi, but if you need to leave, call me and I’ll come walk you home, alright?”

She felt a burn in her chest and she wanted to reassure him that she’d be fine, that there was nothing to worry about, but another wave of pain barreled into her body and she couldn’t lie to him. She inhaled almost imperceptibly through her nose, but she knew Jax’s sharp awareness wouldn’t miss it. She was really just trying to control her voice as she said, “I know, Mr. Councilman,” she squeezed his hand. “I know you will.”

They left the apartment and walked down to the street level together before he took both of her hands in his and pulled her arms out to his sides, taking a step towards her until her body was pressed against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and pressed his lips into her curls, blowing gently in the fall night air. “Have a great day, lovely,” he said, “feel good and take care of yourself.” He kissed her behind the ear and came out from behind her hair with a smile on his face and love in his eyes. “I love you Shi, with all of me.”

“I love you too, Jax, with all of me,” she responded, and with a quick but sweet kiss, they parted ways.

It was a busy night at Raines Corp. Adrian had been working on some extremely large deals with some new humanitarian organization, and they were only about a week or two from finalizing everything. Both of their desks were covered in documents and folders, other employees buzzing about the outer office. Shiloh’s head pounded and the dull ache had become a sharp, stabbing pain. She’d tried to stick it out as long as she could, but it was only 10 pm and they had another 4 or 5 hours to go before the work day was through, and she was starting to think she should have stayed home after all… or maybe even gone to the hospital… she thought. Adrian had noticed that she didn’t seem well, commenting on how pale she looked when she came in, how she looked exhausted despite having just woken up not long before. She tried to swallow down her nausea to make it through the next few hours, but her body rebelled and she rose to her feet, needing to get to the restroom to be sick.

The sudden motion of standing sent her into a fit of vertigo, her vision going black from the corners of her eyes inward. “Adrian…” she barely whimpered his name, speaking suddenly proving difficult as she felt the blood rush from her limbs to her core. Her vision completely black now, and heart pounding unevenly, she tried to take a step towards where she knew he was, and the world moved beneath her. She felt herself losing consciousness and felt the air blow past her ears as she went down.

Adrian was on his feet in nothing flat, and across the office in time to catch her before she hit the floor. “Shiloh!” he yelped, concern and panic in his normally calm voice. His strong arms scooped her up and he set her down on the chaise lounge in the corner before shouting to one of his assistants to call an ambulance. He turned back to her as her eyes fluttered open, his hand flying to her face to lay against her cheek. “Oh, thank God,” he muttered, feeling her clammy skin. She felt hot all over, but shivered as she came to, trying to sit up. His strong hand on her shoulder kept her in place, and the look of worry in his eyes told her that she wasn’t going to win this battle. “Hey, no, no you’re not going anywhere,” he said in a soothing voice, and she let herself be pushed back into the cushions.

“I’m sorry, A, I think I just need to go home, can you call Jax?” Her voice sounded strange to her, small and woozy.  Her head swam but her vision was slowly coming back, from the inside out, opposite of how it had faded.

Adrian looked at her with a frown and she knew she hadn’t fooled him. “I’ll call Jax but there’s an ambulance on the way, you need to see a doctor, Shiloh.” He was clearly afraid for her, his hand still on her shoulder as he sat on the edge of the chaise with her. “You haven’t been well for a while, have you?”

Tears came to her eyes and she started to say something but again, trying to speak felt like she had a mouth full or rocks, and even though she was already laying still, she felt her vision going dark again. Adrian’s voice was the last thing she heard, sounding like he was standing in a tunnel, as it all faded out completely.

She woke up in a white room, extremely bright and piercing lights overhead making her shut her eyes immediately. She was distantly aware of an I.V. drip attached to her left hand, and felt the cool, smooth skin of Jax’s hand closed around her right one. He squeezed her hand comfortingly, a massive sigh of relief coming from him as she gently squeezed back and opened her eyes narrowly against the light. “Hey, baby,” she said softly, unable to keep the tears from her eyes. He reached over the bed and wiped the moisture from her cheeks with his thumb.

“Hey, beautiful,” he said, his voice cracking despite how hard she knew he was trying to keep a straight face and an even tone. “How are you feeling?”

“Embarrassed, mostly,” she said, trying to offer a weak smile which only brought more tears to her eyes, to her dismay. “And a little scared,” she added quietly.

He smoothed her hair gently, avoiding the oxygen tube she now realized she was wearing. “I bet,” he said, wishing he’d been more insistent that she stay home, that she went to see a doctor. “I’m so sorry this happened to you, Shi, I’m so sorry I wasn’t here sooner.” He kissed her hand. “I’m just glad Adrian was there and that he called the ambulance for you...”

“Me too,” she said, barely audible. “Is he here?”

“He’s outside, wouldn’t leave until he knew you were awake. He’s a great friend.” It was the understatement of the century. Adrian had already done so much for her, had saved her best friend’s life, had saved Jax’s and all of the clanless’ lives as well. He’d given her a job and a family with Raines Corp. and he’d taken to her like a brother.

Shiloh nodded slowly, testing the motion. It only made her slightly dizzy, but her vision remained; the I.V. was working. “Yes, he is…” she hesitated and he continued to stroke her hair, waiting for her to continue. “Jax, I’m sorry I didn’t listen to you this morning, I was just…” she swallowed, “I was scared. I…you were right this morning... I have been off. I…” he noticed her fingers shaking in his and raised them to his lips, his dark eyes never leaving hers.

“I know, babe, it’s okay. It’s all okay. They did some bloodwork and set you up with a follow up appointment for two weeks with a specialist. We’re gonna find out what’s wrong, okay? And I’m going to be here for you no matter what it is, so is Adrian. You’re not alone, Shi, you don’t have to keep going through everything alone.”

“Thank you, Jax,” she said, tears filling her tired eyes again. She noticed sunlight creeping in through the blinds and panicked. “We should get home…”

He followed her eyes to the window and knew that she was worrying about him going out in the sunlight, like she wasn’t the one currently connected to tubes and laying in a hospital bed. This woman and her capacity to put others before herself…it was both a blessing and a curse. “Don’t worry,” he assured her, “Adrian’s taking us back in his car.” She nodded slowly again, knowing that his car was equipped with heavily tinted windows.

“When can I leave?” she asked.

“The doctor said whenever you wake up…they just need to clear you. Should I go get her?”

“Please,” she responded. “I want to go home…I want to go home with you.” She closed her eyes and he let go of her hand gently.

“I’ll be right back, okay?” he left the room and she took the hand he’d been holding and pressed it to her abdomen. I guess it didn’t pass…I guess it’s here to stay… she thought, remembering how she had fooled herself into thinking that if she ignored her condition it might go away. An appointment with a specialist… She felt her chest tighten as she started to wrap her mind around all the things she knew…and all the things she didn’t know…and what it probably meant. She let out a long, shuddering sigh and stared at the ceiling until the patterns there swirled before her eyes.

Jax had come back as promised with the doctor in tow, and before long they were home. He’d taken her straight to bed and settled in beside her, pulling her onto his chest. “Shiloh,” he whispered after some time. He felt her hum a response against the fabric of his shirt. “I was so scared of losing you today…”

She answered without thinking. “You know what you could do…”

He tightened his hold on her. “Yeah…yeah, I know…but I can’t do that, babe…” and the way he said ‘can’t’ simply broke her heart. She wouldn’t ask again, not unless it was dire. Right now she just wanted to feel him close to her, to feel him there with her, knowing that he’d be there when she needed him. She just wanted to let him ease her fears and erase her pain, and that he could do simply by opening his arms.

“Adrian,” they had been working silently together, music playing softly in the background. Or at least, Adrain had been working:Shiloh's mind had been far too busy, too noisy. The words she'd heard the day before rumbling a jackhammer beat, keeping her from focusing on the mountainous pile of documents on her desk. She'd tried but the words on the page kept rearranging themselves, swirling until they became a language she wasn't familiar with. It caused pressure behind her eyes so she finally stopped trying, looking across the room to see his hazel eyes trained on her.

“Yes, Shiloh?” He held a pen between his fingers, suspended in the middle of adding his signature to some contract or application.

She set the document that she had been wrestling with down and stood from her chair, arms crossed over her chest as she paced towards the bookcase. She could feel Adrian's eyes still on her, could feel how he sensed that something was wrong. He was her boss, yes, but he was also one of her best friends; in truth he was more like the older brother she'd always wanted. Regardless of how much trepidation she had about having  conversation, she knew she'd have to eventually. Especially since Adrian was with you when you passed out, remember? He knows everything, more than Jax does. You owe him answers, you know he's been worried. She looked over to him and her resolve crumbled a bit. He'd set the pen down and pushed his chair back slightly, not sure if he should rise and come towards her.

“I... can we talk about something that isn't work for a minute?” she asked in a small, shaking voice.

Seeing the way her face had fallen, brow furrowed and usually bright eyes gone flat, he made his decision and stood up, crossing the room in just a few quick strides. He reached out to lightly touch her arm, as if the gesture could reduce her burden- he wished it could. “Of course,” he said, trying to keep his eyes level. He knew without a doubt what she was about to bring up- he'd noticed how distracted she'd been all day, how quiet she was, how she didn't touch the food she'd brought, how her coffee had gone cold hours ago. He'd seen the change in her eyes, in the way she moved, and he knew- he knew that she'd been expecting a phone call yesterday morning...and that she'd taken one, in private, yesterday afternoon.

She took a deep breath. “I heard back from... you know... and... its,” she paused, biting at her cuticles- her least favorite attribute of her own, stress bringing it out in her. “Its like I thought. I... I won't be able to...” she didn't have to finish, she'd shared her concerns with Adrian after her first appointment. He knew what she was saying, and it hurt him to see her hurting, to see her trying so hard to keep it together while she felt like she was falling apart. But he strained to keep the hurt from showing, to keep her from feeling pity or sorrow from him...it wasn't what she needed. She needed support, so that's what he'd give her. He wrapped her in a hug, rubbing her back soothingly. She squeezed him briefly before detaching herself and looking up at him. “Its...there's also more, though...other things to...other risks to consider. I'm,” she looked away and breathed out. “I'm having the discussion,” she brought her eyes back up to his and he nodded, he knew what she meant, “with Jax later. But...Adrian, if he says no...” she put her hand on his arm. “If he says no, will you say yes?”

Adrian froze, completely unsure of how to answer. He wanted to assure her of course, to tell her yes right away, that he'd help her should Jax refuse. But he knew how much the man loved Shiloh, how fiercely he tried to protect her, how he tried to shelter her from the darker sides of their world. He knew that Shiloh had brought this up to Jax before and that he'd shot it down, and he understood Jax's reasons. But having had a much longer time to think about things- to see and feel and experience things  like loss and pain- than Jax, Adrian could also understand giving in to Shiloh's request and feeling that it was the right thing to do; for her...for himself...even for Jax.

“Shiloh,” he started, keeping his voice as even as possible. “I...I know that you're hurting but-”

“Then say yes, Adrian, please,” she pleaded. He took in the bags beneath her eyes, the pale color of her skin. She'd not been sleeping; she hadn't had trouble sleeping since they'd dealt with Gaius years before, but he could see the same symptoms reflected in front of him, and he ached to give her some relief.

“You'll talk to Jax first,” he said finally, ultimately giving in like he knew he would.

“Yes,” she breathed, and hugged his midsection, pressing her face to his chest. “Yes, and I hope you won't have to Adrian...I...I know I shouldn't ask you, I'm with Jax but...but thank you,” she let the tears that she'd been holding in trickle out now, hoping beyond hope that Jax would agree and that she wouldn't have to burden Adrian more than she already had.

“Why don't you go home now then,” he suggested after a long moment of letting her clutch his chest like a pillar in a storm, “Jax is probably home, you should talk to him Shiloh...even if he says no...you...you should tell him what you know. He loves you, its unquestionable, and I know you love him.” he looked down at her and offered a kind smile, the one that he'd given her on her first day with Raines Corp., that he'd always used to put her at ease. “Go ahead, go home early...or, late,” he shrugged trying to make her smile with a joke about their unconventional working hours.

Shiloh nodded, thanked Adrian- he knew she was thanking him for more than just the early dismissal- and grabbed her things to leave. She raced to the apartment only to find Jax sprawled out asleep in their bed, the moonlight streaming in highlighting his handsome features, glinting off his jet black hair. She slowly removed her shoes, followed by her jeans and shirt, all the while watching Jax sleep, thinking about how much she loved him, how perfect their lives were together...and how she could wait just a little while before she ruined it with their discussion. She climbed into bed with him, snuggling to his side, holding her breath so as not to wake him. Just let me enjoy this...just for a bit. She tried to close her eyes and sleep, tried to melt into Jax's side, but instead she found herself staring at the ceiling, the pit in her stomach not letting her enjoy it, not at all.

Fool for You

A/N: Here is the last of the Kiss Prompts  that I posted a while back. These were a lot of fun to write, and I would love to do more if anyone wants to request some!! This one was requested by @brightpinkpeppercorn for:  Jax&Shiloh: On the street because of a celebration. I am re-booting Jax and Shiloh, and these versions of them do not line up with the previous versions of them that I have written in the past- this is the new and improved happy Jax and Shiloh, and I am happy to share them with you!! :) 

Pairing: Jax x Shiloh

Word count: 1,001

It was unseasonably warm for the time of year, especially as the sun had set a few hours earlier, and Jax and Shiloh decided to take advantage of that fact. They opted to walk down to Grand Central instead of hopping on the 7 at Times Square. Strolling hand in hand, they took their time, not in any rush to head below ground and out of the warm night air. They were headed out to dinner, to some new trendy place in Queens that Shiloh had read about, that she’d been excitedly talking about for the past few days. Jax looked over at his foodie girlfriend, smiling at the way the city lights reflected in her wide eyes. He didn’t much care for trendy restaurants or hip bars, but he knew that Shiloh enjoyed trying new things and staying up on trends, so he agreed to go anywhere that she wanted to go. He preferred to cook at home and stay in with her, the two of them comfortable at the counter, listening to music as they reached across one another and passed seasonings like they were performing a choreographed dance. He liked how easy and right everything felt with her, how natural it was to have her become a part of his life, how seamlessly she’d worked her way into his daily routines. He liked how he didn’t think twice before doing things that he knew would make her smile, how she was his first thought every day. He liked her warmth and her laugh. He liked her boldness and her sarcasm and the way she’d stomp her foot when she was frustrated- even when it was him she was frustrated with. Jax had fallen head over boot-clad heels for Shiloh, and he liked it.

He thought back on the past year, on how it was the best he’d had in longer than he cared to remember. So much had changed for him, and all of it for the better- he was now a member of the council, no longer had to worry about the Clanless, about protecting them. He’d opened up to Shiloh and let her carry some of the weight he’d been shouldering for the past decade. He’d learned to trust and work with others like Adrian and Kamilah. He’d learned to look at himself differently- not just as someone who was destine to a life in the shadows, but someone who could let a little light into his life…someone who deserved a little light in his life. He looked down to where his and Shiloh’s hands were joined; his large, cool fingers twined with her thin warm ones, and he recalled the first time he’d grabbed her by the hand, when he rescued her from the Baron’s men in that club. He hadn’t known her then, hadn’t known how he’d fall hopelessly in love with her, how she’d change his life and save him in ways that he didn’t know he was failing in. He recalled the way he felt, the way he recoiled internally at the thought of the Baron touching her, hurting her. He thought to all the times since that first one that he’d held her hand in his… about a year’s worth of times…

Neither of them knew the actual date that they had gotten together. They were on the verge of an all-out clan war while simultaneously fighting off powers far stronger than either of them could imagine, cheating death at every turn. They were more concerned with making it from day to day than they were with knowing what the date was; more concerned with finding one another’s lips, with relishing every kiss, every touch…just in case.

But Jax knew it had been about a year since they’d been together, and he decided, right then and there as Shiloh chattered excitedly about the review she’d read, that they needed to decide on a date for their anniversary. “How about tonight?” he asked, interrupting Shiloh’s thought.

She turned her head and cocked it to one side. “Huh?” she asked, perplexed. “What about tonight, Jax? What are you talking about, babe?” She smiled quizzically as she kept walking.

Jax had paused though, right in the middle of the crosswalk, tugging on her hand. She spun into him, laughing as his other arm came around her waist, hand settling on her hip. He pulled her close enough to touch his nose to hers, his eyes shut and his lips just inches from hers. “We need an anniversary date, how about tonight?” he whispered. He opened his eyes and their dark depths glistened with desire, the corners creased with the way he was smiling.

Shiloh let out a breath that was half laugh, and half surprise at the way he’d suddenly pulled her to his chest. “Tonight?” she asked, arching one eyebrow. “That supposed to be a joke, babe? Today’s April Fool’s day. You really want that to be our anniversary?” She ran her nose along his in a slow eskimo kiss, pedestrians still bustling past them to cross the busy NYC street.

Jax just nodded, grinning. “I’m sure, Shi. It’s perfect. I’m a damn fool for you.” He didn’t wait for her response. Instead, he dropped her hand and gripped the back of her neck, dipping her low in a kiss that took her breath away and made some passersby clap and whoop.

When he righted her, her cheeks had flushed pink and her breathing had become ragged. One hand flew to fix the errant hair that had fallen from her ponytail, the other clutched her chest where her heart was pounding out a drumbeat. “Well,” she said breathlessly, her lips still brushing against his and both of them smiling, “Happy anniversary to you too, Jax.” She kissed him again, a short and sweet peck as the walk signal changed and they finished crossing the street. “How about we head back home and celebrate? Suddenly I’m in the mood for whatever you’re cooking up.”

HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY EVERYONE!!
