“We chose a gender-neutral name, Riley, for my daughter,” said Lori Kinkler, a psychologist in San Antonio, Texas. “We knew her sex, but gender is fluid and yet to be determined. Of all the difficulties faced by those who live beyond, or across, the binary, we didn’t want name-changing to be one of them. ... I like that she feels she has options and knows she’ll be accepted by us no matter what.” Riley is 3.

Kirsten Hammann, 45, in the San Francisco Bay area, and her husband named their daughters Teagan and Sigrid. She considers both names gender neutral.

“We named our baby Avery Morgann. The intention was to give them more room to define themselves as they get older. Also, name changes are expensive and frustrating,” said Portland, Oregon, parent C.J. Alicandro, who strives for gender neutrality in all ways for the 2 1/2-year-old

“We wanted to set up Avery with an opportunity to not be limited as much as possible by a name and be able to choose an identity as much as possible, given the confines that are forced upon them,” said Alicandro, a 31-year-old social worker.

I've seen worse than Riley and Avery.

I find gender neutral names to be a pain, as many parent do. You tell people about your kids, and they wonder if it is a boy or a girl.

I don't really have an issue with those specific names. It's more their justification.

Riley has that dual annoyance of being both gender neutral and a traditional surname popular with people who will eventually send their kids to Hardy Prep, St. Clement's or Francis Xavier Ward.

Kristen has been watching Vikings.
