Rowan - 1st choice

Wren - surely this is a girl's name? I can't imagine a boy being pleased that you'd saddled him with this one.

Robin - not gender neutral as spelt differently for both sexes.

Frankie - dreadful.

Stevie - see Frankie.

Sidney - again not gender neutral as spelt Sydney for girls usually.

Francis
Ashley
Frankie (I love!)

I’ve always loved Darrell for a girl after reading Malory Towers.

Sue

Rowan and Robin: love both of these

Wren: ok

Frankie, Stevie, Sidney: not so keen, feel a bit dated to me

1. Rowan
2. Robin
3. Frankie
4. Wren
5. Stevie
6. Sidney (like Sydney for a girl though )

Most of your names don't look gender neutral to me. Either that or they aren't actual names.

For gender neutral, maybe Evelyn, Vivian, Hilary, Ashley or Lindsay.

I love Brodie and Georgie ☺️ I know both boys and girls with these names.

Also know male and female Harley and Brooklyn. I prefer Brooklyn for a girl (think it's the Lyn part that makes it look feminine to me).

I know a few kids called Ellis as well, both sexes.

Rowan - love it for a boy, like it for a girl. I've known 4 males and 2 females with this name.
Wren - not keen for a girl. Not sure it's a boys' name at all? Never met a Wren at all though.
Robin - love it for a boy or a girl but would spell Robyn for a girl. I've known 1 boy Robin and 3 girl Robyns. Never met a girl Robin.
Frankie - not keen on it for a girl, don't like it at all for a boy. I do love Francesca but not keen on Frank, Francis or Franklin.
Stevie - like it for a girl, it's 'cool and funky'. Don't like it for a boy. I know 1 female Stevie.
Sidney - like it for a girl but spelled Sydney. Don't like it for a boy, it seems too middle aged although I know it's trendy now. Only ever met 1 girl Sydney and no boys.

My rankings would be very different for girls and boys:
girls - Robin, Stevie, Rowan, Sidney, Wren, Frankie
boys - Robin, Rowan, Frankie, Stevie, Sidney, Wren

As gender neutral names go, I like the surnamey kind of names which seem to have become very popular for girls but were originally male. I don't know if they're truly gender neutral or just female now. Names like:
Addison, Aubrey, Avery, Brodie, Bailey, Colby, Dakota, Eden, Erin, Fallon, Harley, Hadley, Jocelyn, Kennedy, London, Madison, Morgan, Peyton, Quinn, Riley, Sutton, Spencer, Taylor

Rowan - love this, one of my favourite names!
Wren - I struggle to think of this as gender neutral, I think because it was strongly associated with women in history.
Robin - also love this!
Frankie - I dislike it, for no particular reason.
Stevie - nice as a nickname but not as a full name, use Stephen or Stephanie.
Sidney - also struggle to think of this as gender neutral and associate it generally as a male name.

My favourite gender neutral name would be Casey.

Rowan is one of my favourites ever. Wren I love but I like it spelt Renn instead for a girl

I love Sydney for a girl, or Rowan.

Ashley or Robin for a boy. I wouldn't call a girl Ashley because it conjures up blonde airhead stereotypes for me on a girl but interestingly I really like it for a boy.
