"Unisex" Names--SSA 2013

I know, I know--the 2014 SSA list is coming in less than 2 weeks. But surely the names won't change that much, right?
Anyway, I've refined my method a bit more than last time, taking alternate spellings into account (well, trying to, anyway). I looked at the percentage of kids given each name rather than ranking or number of babies, since a) more boys tend to be given the top names each year, and b) more boys are born each year than girls for some reason. Anyway, enjoy!

The most unisex names that appear in the Top 2000 for both genders:
(only the top spelling for each gender is listed, however, all were taken into account)
  1. Merritt
  2. Sonny (b) / Sunny (g)
  3. Salem
  4. Layton (b) / Leighton (g)
  5. Rebel
  6. Britton
  7. Justice
  8. Ever
  9. Milan
  10. Alexi
  11. Perry
  12. Storm
  13. Armani
  14. Lennon
  15. Francis (b) / Frances (g)
  16. Anay (b) / Anai (g)
  17. Brylan (b) / Brilynn (g)
  18. Ocean
  19. Palmer
  20. Dakota

Of course, even in the Top 2000, we're mostly still talking about names only given to about 100 kids (of each gender). Here are the most unisex names in both Top 1000s:
  1. Sonny (b) / Sunny (g)
  2. Layton (b) / Leighton (g)
  3. Justice
  4. Milan
  5. Armani
  6. Lennon
  7. Francis (b) / Frances (g)
  8. Brylan (b) / Brilynn (g)
  9. Dakota
  10. Jasiah (b) / Jaziyah (g)
  11. Phoenix
  12. Dominique
  13. Landry
  14. Jael
  15. Kamari
  16. Rene (b) / Renee (g)
