*a uni-sex name is a ‘given name’ that can be used by a ‘person’ regardless of their ‘sex’*
.
(‘unisex names’ are common in the ‘english-speaking world’)
(especially in the ‘united states’)
.
(by contrast, some countries have ‘laws’ preventing ‘unisex names’, requiring ‘parents’ to give their children ‘sex-specific names’)
(in other countries, ‘unisex names’ are sometimes avoided for ‘social reasons’ such as ‘potential discrimination’, ‘ridicule’, and ‘psychological abuse’)
(‘names’ may have different ‘gender connotations’ from ‘country’ to ‘country’ or ‘language’ to ‘language’)
(for example, the italian male name andrea (derived from greek andreas) is understood as a ‘female name’ in many languages (such as ‘english’, ‘german’, ‘hungarian’, ‘czech’, and ‘spanish’)
(‘parents’ may name their child in honor of a person of another ‘sex’, which – if done widely – can result in the name becoming ‘unisex’)
(for example, ‘christians’ (particularly ‘catholics’) may give a child a ‘second’ (/ ‘middle name’) of the ‘opposite sex’)
(e.g. name a son ‘marie’ or ‘maria’ in honor of the ‘virgin mary’)
(or formerly ‘anne’ for ‘saint anne’)
(…or name a daughter ‘josé’ in honor of ‘saint joseph’)
(…or ‘jean’ in honor of ‘john the baptist’)
(this practice is rare in ‘english-speaking countries’)
(some ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ names are ‘homophones’, pronounced the same for both ‘sexes’ but spelled differently)
(for example, ‘yves’ + ‘eve’)
(and (for some speakers) ‘artemus’ + ‘artemis’)
.
(these names are not strictly ‘unisex names’)
