We're not even talking about surname/unisex names even; this kind of thing is Hollywood fad, and also seems tailor-made for an angsty YA book. When I was a kid I liked this series of books by Constance C. Greene where the first one in the series was "A Girl Called Al." It was written in the early seventies, I think, and so the book title thing feels a bit cliched. The thing was, the girl called Al was actually Alexandra; one of the later books was called "Al-Exandra) the Great."

Belinda Hurmence took it one better with her book "A Girl Called Boy." My memory of it is very hazy but I do remember it was about a young black girl who somehow got time-traveled back into slavery days and was mistaken for a boy and addressed as Boy throughout.
