Nickname options for girls include Jane and Jan. Jan is also an acceptable boys’ nickname. A female version of January is Janera.

Garnet

Garnet is the birthstone for babies born in January. Since January is an icy time of year for most parts of the world, it’s a great unisex baby name. Babies born in January with red hair would make the perfect candidate for this icy name as garnets are dark red in color.
