I th ink it is an interesting concept, however with a very few acceptions, I just assume you would use these for a female.
Stephen Rose being the real exception to that. I also kind of like Stephen Rose, honestly.
There are female writers named Curtis & George (pen name), so that could be cool in a way.
Kingston Belle sounds like a ship name to me.

These are interesting. My mind wants to feminize some of the names on sight, but others make striking combos.
Stephen Rose - read this as Stephanie Rose right away. However, since Rose is a noun-name, I think this could work. I am not a fan persay, but it's disarmingly disorienting. I could see some new-age parent running with this. Though, I personally don't find it realistic.
George Ann - Totally can see this. The French use Jean all the time for men and women. This looks like it could be a hyphenated Southern (US) name. I honestly think it would work well for a girl, but not so much for a boy.
Rhys Ava - I don't like the flow to the names regardless of the genders. It all meshes together into one sound. As a cross-gender combo, it has a slight edge that Rhys is not so popular where I live, so people would just assume it is a girl's name if paired with Ava. That said, I think this would sound better on a guy, and would not reccommend it for anyone.
Ryker Marine - The first name names Marine into a US Armed Services noun-name. This totally works. There is a military base named Riker and I am thinking that this name would fit right in at the Army-Brat school (not derogatory).
Daniel Joanne - Nope. I would think this girl was French and I would be confused if this was a girl. I love Danielle, so my brain keeps reading that. It would be kind of sad to see this name on a boy... it's not spunky enough that the girly name is chic and it is boring enough that the whole combo is like "A boy named Sue".

The only ones I really like are Wynn Orlanda and Rigby Leah, since I could actually see those first names being used on a female. The rest are just trying too hard to be cool or hip. There are truly unisex names out there, but it's just too much to assign names from both genders to the same person at his or her birth. And some of these masculine names have feminine versions and vice versa (i.e. Augusta for August, Danielle/Daniella for Daniel, Stephanie for Stephen).

Why? Just why?

If that's you're thing, okay. They are aesthetically pleasant, but the concept is one I'd have to warm up to. I am all for challenging the gender dichotomy, but I also believe we should celebrate our own specific gender (even if it is not the one we are assigned at birth). I'll have to think more about it before I make any conclusions.
I do like Wynn, but that to me has always been a female name.

I can't give you any opinions, because I have no idea if I should think of them as boys names or girls names. I can't see them as unisex names either because of the obvious masculine/feminine names.
What I can say, though, is that I like Rose as a middle name for a boy. And I don't mind Sterling Serene for a boy either.
