HelpWhat To Name An Agender Character?
I'm creating a story inspired around Alice in Wonderland, with each charather being based on a different character! I'm having trouble naming the March Hare parallel who is agender, the main reason being is that Agenderness doesn't fall into a specific name category so I'm left to wondering what name is gonna fit them!
Here are a few names I've though of but I'm not sold on any of them yet:
March
Marchelle
Marshel
Any tips or advice of any kind will help get through this because I'm stuck on ideas!

I don't really have anything to add, but when I first read the subj., I read it as "Avenger" (as in Thor, Hulk, Captain America, IronMan…). And then I read it as Agender, but rhyming with "avenger" and pictured a team of a-gendered super heroes, and completely understood the conundrum since so many superheroes have "man" or "woman" or "girl" in their names.
Anyway, it entertained me.

Lol. I read it as age-ender. As if it meant, something about the end of an age??
There's no such thing as agender IMO. That's like saying it's neither day nor night. There's androgyny, that's it. Unisex and agendered are the same thing. I have no use for new categories - it's okay that words are not perfectly precise. It doesn't stop the poets, it isn't gonna stop me either.
On topic: I think March is a great choice! It's very androgynous but it doesn't have any of the pathetic vibe of names that try too hard to avoid giving clues about gender.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I think I'm just getting old. I don't understand the agender thing, and I don't understand switching from one gender to another on any given day (I just read another article on that delightful trainwreck of a site I always mention, and someone wrote about doing that.) I keep thinking I'm a jerk for not *getting* it, but maybe not getting it is perfectly fine. After all, it's not the same as saying it's wrong, or that people shouldn't live that way. I'm not going to understand every little thing in life, that's just how it is.
And I realize this is Ops, not the Lounge, so I will stop. :P

Conill

Kuniklo
Kani
Tokki
Krolyka
I think some of those are fairly amazing.

Marchelle feels pretty feminine.
Marshel feels pretty masculine.
March would definitely fall in the middle somewhere.
Some suggestions for 'mar'
Amarachi
Maren
Marlen
Marley
Marlowe
Martie
Some suggestions for 'char' (if you smoosh Marchare together)
Charlie
Archer
Shachar
Some suggestions for 'har'
Harley
Harlow
Harper
Harri
