Need short gender-neutral names
Hello,
I’m currently working on a private fiction project, however several characters within it have been either nameless or have had unsatisfactory placeholder names for a while now. (To make things less confusing I will make separate threads for each enquiry)
This particular character I am currently seeking a name for doesn’t have much of a characterisation as they are meant to be more of an viewer surrogate than anything (the project is planned to be in a visual novel format). Their name should be short and easy to remember. I’m also interested in the idea of a set of 2 different names (one male name and one female name that are alternate versions of one another, but still maintaining the masculine-feminine neutrality) as in the project the reader is able to pick the gender of the character they control in the story.
I’d prefer names that aren’t too odd-sounding or hard to pronounce.
Thanks in advance!

No longer in need of suggestions— thanks to all who responded!
Thanks for all the responses so far! I actually rediscovered a name I really liked whilst looking through some user-submitted name lists earlier today, so I am no longer in need of suggestions for this character’s name. However, I will post an inquest for a different character later today (in the correct topic group this time!)

I adore the name Robin, but I feel like people would immediately draw connections to the Fire Emblem character (who funnily enough also happens to be a customisable audience surrogate)
I suppose what I mean by “unisex” was actually “gender neutral” since I don’t really like the idea of them having a name that sounds too boyish or girly
