Boy or Girl Unicorn Names?
There is something you should know about unicorn names. In general, all names for unicorns are gender-neutral. Therefore, we do not make separate lists for male and female unicorn names.
Some names on the list are male or female names in the human world. But in the unicorns’ world, they are unisex names. There’s no need to worry about whether a unicorn name you like is a “boy or girl name” because all unicorn names are fine for both!
If you want to know what your personal unicorn name is, check out our unicorn name quiz and unicorn name generator!
Unicorn Names Reflect the Unicorn Mythology
You probably connect unicorns with the rich mythology that surrounds them. Some of the famous unicorn names are more modern, while some sound as ancient as the unicorn myth itself.
There are some My Little Pony names on the list, such as Twilight. Then, there are ancient Greek names, for example, Hippolyta and Hesperia.
Some of the most well-known unicorns in books and movies, such as the unicorns in the Harry Potter series, are left anonymous. However, there are many unicorns in popular culture and literature that do have individual names. So, we’re going to reveal the famous unicorn characters behind some of the top names on our list.
Make Up Your Own Unicorn Name!
Do you want to create an original name for a unicorn character in your novel? Use your creativity and make up your own unicorn name!
To find inspiration for an original name for a unicorn, the best sources are flowers or stars. Unicorns are connected to nature and flowers, as well as stars. Many of the existing unicorn names are also names of flowers or stars.
Names of gemstones also make great names for unicorns. Many names on the list are names of gemstones, such as Amber, Crystal, Jade, and Ruby. There are so many gemstones in the World. Do some research, and you might find the perfect jewel for a unicorn name!

Thank you for leaving a comment and sharing your favorite unicorn name with us. 🙂
Hi.
I am a unicorn and horse lover! I love the names Showed on your website. I had to make a unicorn story so I came to this website and it was great! I got loads of great names for my unicorns! Thank you so much!
Hi Matilda,
I’m so happy to hear my post helped you find unicorn names for your story. 🙂
Oh that is so cute! I used to love making up stories with fairies and unicorns and I loved coming up with new names for them all.
I did your Unicorn Name Quiz and my Unicorn name is Cassiopeia, love it 🙂 I also like the name Cloudberry, just something about it.
Thanks, Petra!
That’s awesome you made up stories about fairies and unicorns. It´s so much fun making up names for the fictional characters, isn’t it? Especially if they´re fairies and unicorns. 🙂
Cassiopeia is one of my favorite unicorn names too. 🙂
Cloudberry is a unicorn name I made up myself. Many unicorn names are based on nature, so I thought it would be a great unicorn name.
Cloudberries are very precious berries that only grow in the Arctic areas, such as the northernmost parts of the country here in Finland, and in Arctic areas in Canada. They even look like clouds (well, orange clouds), as the name suggests.
Wow! I did not realize that there were so many awesome names to consider. Great that these names are unisex. They are all very unique and I find it difficult to pick one. I feel inspired already, and I believe the flowers and stars are also another great source of inspiration. Thank you for expounding on the names especially the gemstones. I learnt a few gemstone names that I had no idea of. I’ll gladly pick this criteria. Ruby’ will do it for me’Thank you for putting together such a great list.
Hi Carol,
Thanks for leaving a comment and sharing your favorite unicorn name with us. 🙂
It may sound weird but I (we) call my BF (best friend) as turbo unicorn in real life cause he has used turbo unicorn as a nickname in some games and gaming related forums for a decade. Sometimes we call him as Tunicorn.
If I should name unicorn using these names on the list, in my opinion Vanilla and Firefly would be my first picks I guess.
By the way, my name, Jesse would be a great unicorn name, it’s unisex but may be too boring, hard to say.
You should make some sort of unicorn name generator, that would be lots of fun! 🙂 Thanks for sharing -Jesse
Hi Jesse,
You should check out the unicorn name quiz on this site. 🙂 It’s not exactly a name generator, but you need to answer a few simple questions, and based on them, you get to know your unicorn name.
Tunicorn, that’s a hilarious nickname! Awesome! 😀
Hi Kirsti,
When I first to read your post, I thought it’s introducing all the unicorn startups in the world. Although it’s not, it’s still a good article whoever tries to find the best name for their startup companies, a simple project name, or a team name! I love to get inspirations from fairy tales, myths, and stars. Maybe next time I will directly come to your blog as an easiest way to get a new name.
I think I might choose “Reina” too for my next project name since I think it gives a sense of royalty. I checked on wikipedia and found it’s also a word for the queen in Spanish which is nice and excellent. I love to see more of your posts in the future. Thanks.
Hi Matt,
I never thought of unicorn names (magical creature names) could work as company names too. Thank you, that’s a great idea, actually! Feel free to use any of the unicorn names on the list, if you need inspiration. 🙂
“Raina” is my favorite too, and it indeed means “queen” in Spanish (or it´s written reina in Spanish, but that´s the origin of the name Raina).
I love your names for unicorns!! they are so cute names!
Thank you, Megan! Happy to hear you like them. 🙂
I loved all your names! But I’m wondering why you didn’t put the name Midnight up there.
Hi Mai! Thank you so much. And thanks for the tip, I’ll add up Midnight on the list. 🙂
Hi! I really love this website. It helped me through a really hard time in my life. Thanks for being such a big help! I’m gonna give myself a unicorn name its not on this list though: Annabelle. That’s my unicorn name if I gave myself one. Thanks!
– Anonymous unicorn lover.
I don’t mean to be mean but i need more ideas🦄
We’re working on it! TY!

I love all these type of names, whether they’re for unicorns or not! My cuddly unicorns are named Yasmin, Harmonie, Destiny, Alexa, Rosette, Skylar and Fantasia. Destiny was the only one who I named myself- the others came already named (Beanie Babies, Clip Pals etc.) Was delighted to see a few of my unicorns names on the list- and some other names on your list are the names of different cuddly animals I have!!
Thank you, Sarah! Destiny is an excellent choice for a name! I’m always in search of new unicorn names!
I wrote lots of names Amber,Blossom,Faith,Hope,Luna,Midnight, Pear,Ruby

Blossom is a lovely name! 🌺 So is Lilly. I’m sure you will flourish and thrive in life with a name such as this 🌷
