As a self-confessed name nerd and non-binary person, I love finding gender-neutral names. This list contains 130 non-binary names for characters, with every letter of the alphabet having 5 unique names.
When I say “non-binary names for characters”, I mean names that can be used by non-binary characters, and many of these names are used by real people who identify as non-binary.
Enjoy this list, and if you’re looking for more lists and resources, I’ve added some links to the bottom of the post!
List of 130 non-binary names for characters
This list of names are perfect for non-binary characters, and I’ve included common, rare, and some unique names too.
I’ve tried not to include names that are too close to each other to give the most variety. If a name sounds nice but you aren’t fond of the spelling you might be able to find a variant online.
You may feel that some names are more masculine or feminine than you were expecting. How you perceive the gender expression of names is usually linked to your expectations – often because of how or where you grew up.
Disclaimer: As a white person living in England, many of these names come from an English or Western origin, but there are some from other languages. If you’re looking for names from a particular origin, I recommend doing your own research.
