| title = Lists of neutral names
An alphabetical list of [[neutral names starting with B]], continued from the [[names]] page, see for more information. These are neutral-gender names, otherwise known as unisex names.

Neutral names can help make it safer for people to explore their gender expressions. In English-speaking countries, some of the most familiar gender-neutral names starting with the letter B include Bailey, Bernie, and Billie.
