Lee. One of the very few names that feels unisex to me.

---

Some nature names, such as River, Sage, Cedar, Bay, Cove, Rain, Storm (although I would say that most floral names feel feminine).

---

Some nicknames, such as Sam, Chris, Alex, Mel, Les, Lou, Ash and Charlie.

---

Some word names, such as Indigo, Journey, Ocean, Lake and Blue.

Taylor
Perry
Charlie
Ash
Jordan
Casey
Jamie
Cameron
Spencer
Sterling
Echo
Kit
Rory

The only ones I can think of are Francis/Frances and Leslie/Lesley, and even they have a spelling difference.

Even though I have preferences for most of them, I wouldn’t blink at these on either gender:
Morgan
Quinn
Rowan
Sage
Cameron
Courtney
Ashley
Bryn
Riley
Avery
Addison
Emerson
Linden
Shannon
Jordan
Taylor
Ellis
Hollis
Mackenzie

---

Any nature/word names in English (or any other non-gendered language)

To me Jasper, Glenn (year I know Glenn Close), Kyle, Dale, Evan and Merle are 100% male. Evelyn, Bryn, Cheyenne, Ainsley, Jocelyn, Shirley and Vivian are 100% feminine.

---

Names that I see as truly unisex:
Angel
Avery
Bailey
Cameron
Casey
Dakota
Hayden
Jamie
Jayden
Jordan
Payton / Peyton
Mackenzie
Morgan
Riley
Rory
Sage
Skylar / Skyler
Taylor

Some nicknames like Chris, Sam and Alex.

---

Morgan, Kelly, Taylor.

I disagree with the entire list, except for maybe Merle. I can absolutely see it being used for both, either on an elderly man or an an elderly woman.
These could also be unisex: Amandeep, Kahurangi & Naphtali, but they do lean more masculine. I honestly don't know enough about them.
Gwyn, Inyene & Ainsley as well perhaps, but definitely lean more feminine.

---

These I prefer as boy names:

---

Lane
Manu
Logan (Love this one for a boy. Can't stand it on a girl)
Elliott (All spellings!)
Shannon
Cedar
Peregrine
Jasper
Adair
Evan
Hayden
Glenn
Kyle
Dale
Parker

---

Girl's:
Jocelyn
Kelly
Evelyn
Bryn
Cheyenne
Shirley
Wren
Vivian

---

I tend to prefer names for a one gender, so there certainly aren't a whole lot of "unisex" names that I see AS being unisex, but for the ones that immediately come to my mind are these:

---

Robin, Taylor & Avery (Prefer more for boys, but don't at all mind on a girl)
Merle (as mentioned above)
Lonnie & Lani
Lauren, Loren/Lorin
That's pretty much it, with maybe a name or two I'm missing. Oh, and I think Monroe.

Evan and Naphtali feel very masculine, Shirley, Wren and Vivian very feminine.

---

I’d say Rowan is truly unisex, also Dominique and Claude.

From your, list the ones I think are truly gender neutral are:
Hayden
Glenn
Lane
Parker

---

I would also add (in my opinion) Angel, Blake, Bronte, Cameron, Dakota, Dallas, Emery, Francis, Holland, Hollis, Jesse, Jordan, Loren, Luca, Morgan, Phoenix, Quinn, Regan, River, Robin, Rowan, Taylor

I still have gender preferences for these but in theory I think these work equally on boys and girls:
(*s are the ones I like most)
Sage *
Robin *
Lark *
Morgan *
Alex
Sam *

Shay *

Jordan
Taylor
Luca *
Mackenzie
Rowan *
River *
