Why? A few of my male characters have names that end with the latin ending “um” which is gender neutral.
As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives.

Long ago, I took it opon myself to memorize several semi obscure nursery rhymes.
i find it really interesting sometimes to have the females with male names
such as miguel who is most definitely not a guy
and the nonbinary characters with 21st century names
like ivy
(bonus: there’s a girl named theophanu)

I thought by 21st century names you meant the word-salad of names like “caaaylie”. Ivy sounds modern but did you know that there is such a thing as Ivy flowers?

It is pretty unique.

Ah, I see.
Let me start with Epoch. I didn’t come up with this name, and I have the right to this because the original draft–the play–was written by many teenagers and me. In my version, Epoch is non-binary mainly because the play never specified Epoch’s gender.
I also have Vail, who is also non-binary.
Others include:
Pisces - she’s female, but I know the name is unisex.
Skye - non-binary character. Unisex name.
Deryn - non-binary character. Unisex name.
Quarry - non-binary character. Unisex name.
Briar - non-binary character. Unisex name.
Gale - non-binary character. Unisex name.
Dai - non-binary character. Unisex name.
Sam - non-binary character. Unisex name.
Jo - non-binary character. Unisex name.

Some of my character names might be gender-neutral.
The first is Arden. I’ve always thought of it as a feminine name, until the second ARG happened on Wacky. There’s an NPC named Arden, and he’s male XD I also saw a story being promoted on the one of the Promote Your Writing threads, and one of them mentions a character named Arden… who’s male XD
Loren may also be gender-neutral. I thought it was masculine sounding, until I searched online and saw that there were girls named Loren. I also opened Snapchat and saw that one of the popular people on Snapchat is called Loren, and she’s a girl. I also know a girl named Lauren, and while the spelling’s different, the pronunciation is pretty much the same XD
I don’t think I have any other gender-neutral names besides that 
oh wait, Rowan is a gender-neutral name. I know someone on Wattpad who’s a girl and her pen name (or real name, idk) is Rowan, but Rowan is a male character in my book.
