There are many names I don't have a preference about, but they aren't names I like, and they're usually surnames - such as Madison, Taylor, Harper, Aubrey, Mackenzie, Ashley, Whitney, Payton, Riley, Reese, Tatum, Casey, Avery, Indigo, Indiana. I don't really expect either sex, and I don't care because I don't care for the names.

There are some names I think make good names for either sex, but I have a personal gender preference:
Morgan (g), Blair (g), Leslie (b), Kelsey (b), Kelly (g), Robin (b), Eden (g), Leith (b), Laurence (b), Terry (b), Zephyr (b), Merle (g), Maria (g), Andrea (g), Sasha (g), Misha (g), Shannon (g), Blythe (g), Jess (g), Cass (g), Lindsay (g), Quinn (g), Paris (g), Sage (g), Shelley (g),

There are some names that have alternate spellings or pronunciations, that determine whether they're good for boys or girls, to me. Like Sidney (b) / Sydney (g), Meredith "MAIR-ed-ith" (g) / Meredith "Muh-RED-ith" (b), Dara or Darragh "DAH-ra" (b) / Dara "DAIR-a" (g), Carey or Cary (b) / Carrie or Kerry etc (g), Skylar (g) / Schuyler (b)

Of yours I think Ariel is kind of two different names ... AIR- on a girl, AHR- on a boy. Rowan I strongly prefer for boys, Noah is a boy name to me (Noa is more a girl name), Parker seems really masculine. Georgie's unisex but awful on men. Frankie and Charlie seem very masculine to me, and funny on women; Louie is a name I've never heard of on a woman but I guess I can picture it. I agree with you about Jude being suitable for either, and I slightly prefer it as a feminine name, but I'd expect a male.

Names I like at least a little bit, that I like about the same on either sex:
River
Tracy
Dana
Jordan
Lee / Leigh
Lynn
Jamie
Hollis
Diamond
Alex as a full name
Vivian
Merlin (on a girl it's a very "guilty pleasure" though)
Vaughn
Liberty
Dale
Gale
Garnet
Ira
Kim
Laurie
Mitra
Sean
Ocean
