An alphabetical list of neutral names starting with Y, continued from the [[names]] page (see for more information). These are neutral-gender names, otherwise known as unisex names. They are equally appropriate for girls, boys, and people of any gender. [[Nonbinary]] people don't have to have neutral names, and many [[notable nonbinary people]] have names that are usually either masculine or feminine. Neutral names can help make it safer for people to explore their gender expressions. There are many unisex names from around the world that start with Y, more than 60 of them, as listed below. Previous page: [[neutral names starting with X]]. Next page: [[neutral names starting with Z]].
