HelpRe: Character Name in a Cross World Story
in reply to a message by AileKahleil
People are going to respond differently depending on their experience with a name. So I think your best choice is to invent something. The truly unisex names make it seem humorous that the person is ambiguous. Lee, Chris, Jamie, Taylor, Quinn, Casey, Alex - it risks becoming funny, and there's such a letdown if the mystery is ever solved.
I think you should use something so unfamiliar that it gives the reader a purely "unknown" vibe that will make them just accept the lack of gender info, instead of making their brain struggle between picturing one gender and the other. Nym, Deve, Tass, Zil, Keth, something like that.
