Deciding on a name for your baby is one of the most fun parts of pregnancy. There are so many things to consider, including whether you want to use a family name, if you want something classic or modern, and how the name makes you feel.
By the time I was pregnant with our first daughter, I had been teaching for five years and encountered lots of children. How I felt about each name was often based on my relationship with each child. Of course, there were some names that I fell in love with because of a particularly positive experience or names that I never wanted to hear again, especially for my own child!
When you decide on your baby’s name, it’s an exciting time and talking to your or your partner’s belly starts to take on a new meaning. No longer ambiguous, when there is a name attached, it starts to feel a bit more real.
In recent decades, there has been more and more interest in gender-neutral names. In fact, this article in Good Housekeeping sites research that suggests an 88% increase in unisex names from 1988 to 2015.
And it’s easy to see why. Gender-neutral names can allow for a family name regardless of the child’s sex, are often unique, and offer parents an opportunity to name their baby while keeping the gender a surprise. Besides, gender-neutral names are just cool.
Kinsley is a unisex name that has seen a major rise in favor over the last fifteen years. Steadily, it has become one of the most popular girl’s names this year. Kinsley has gone from number 1,000 in popularity in 2005 to top fifty in 2021, according to Babycenter.
Kinsley remains an uncommon name for boys, making it extra cool.

With roots and heritage like that, Kinsley is definitely a trend we can get behind!
