But even though our society is constantly changing, our names have not. Unisex Hausa names are a new way of naming that is becoming popular in our society. This type of naming has been used to help people who don’t feel comfortable with their gender identity.
Unisex names are great for a variety of reasons;
- Unisex names allow parents to choose whatever name they like, regardless of whether they have a son or daughter.
- They are gender-neutral, which means they can be given to a child of either gender.
