Any suggestions? Think Dylan, James, Aaron, etc for a little girl.

The most obvious are Charlie and Jamie but I'm not so keen on those.

I love American "surname for first names" especially unisex ones, already used Parker and Carter.

I think unisex names are nice, but agree it does all tend to be a bit, here is a pool of good, strong, normal names, all of which would be cool for boys and for girls, but 'just' girl names are only for girls and therefore somehow inferior, because they are for girls, the implication being girls and girl things are also slightly inferior. You know, like the anti-pinkification issue. I am all for not pinkifying everything for girls and do not agree with blue for boys/pink for girls, but there is a certain school of thought that is happy and proud for a daughter to play with boy things and would look down on a doll. If your kid, of either sex, wants to play with a doll, that should be fine, not looked down on because it was traditionally a girl thing, otherwise we are just back to the old routine of women and girls being regarded as second best. Sorry for inarticulate ramblings.

No names are gender neutral, they all originate as boys or girls name, and then if they are used by either sex, then they become gender neutral. Or they start as surnames, and are then used as given names.

Call your baby exactly what you want, irregardless of sex, be it Alex, Noah, Charlotte or Michael.
