Britney’s Jayden Has One Of America’s Top Unisex Baby Names


Britney Spears

Britney Spears, pictured here just before she went with the bald look, has given her son Jayden James one of the top androgynous names in America, based on the findings of a new study about unisex baby names.

The study, from the editors of Baby Names Garden, a leading website for baby names, shows that Jayden is the 8th most popular unisex name, or a name that is popular with both girls and boys. Did Britney know that Jayden was popular with both sexes before she picked it? Probably not. Other parents may be surprised to find their child’s name on the list as well.

Actress Holly Marie Combs named her baby boy Riley in 2006 - that’s the number 4 unisex name. Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett’s baby boy, Angel, also born in 2006, has the third most popular androgynous name.

America’s number 1 unisex name? Jordan, by a wide margin. It ranks in the top 100 names for both boys and girls.

And for fans of country singer Brad Paisley - relax. Huckleberry is not on the list.
