Suggested relatively genderless names:

	Dana (my son's name)
	Lee
	Jody
	Robin
	Sandy (Alexander/Alexandra)
	
It's interesting to note that names tend to gravitate
from being men's names to being women's names.  Consider
that Robin was originally a form of Robert.  All the
Dana's I knew growing up were men; now people are
coming to think of it as a woman's name.

The recent fad of using Irish surnames, e.g., Ryan, as first
names for both boys and girls is curious, too.
