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
