Unisex Name for Girl

I’ve a great disdain for flowery feminine names or anything twee, and am keen for daughter to have a strong name that the sex would be ambiguous when read. I’ve always been drawn to these names on powerful, gorgeous women and definitely want to go unisex.

This is what we have so far, keen to hear favourites:

Blake
Blair
Drew
Morgan
Robin

Have a couple of female Christians in my wider family tree, generally late 17th/early 18th century.

I was going to suggest Alex 😂. Max? Jamie?

I like robin and Morgan the best, Morgan is really lovely actually. Blake/Blair and Drew sound a bit American to me so not my favourites although they are inoffensive.

Joelle and Marcelle are the feminine spellings but the names themselves are unisex

All of those names seem like boy names to me but yea there are always a few examples of girls with those names.

How about:
Charlie
Courtney
Ashley
Frankie

Would you want a unisex name for a boy?

Son is Alex, so is ambiguous also.
