A lot of gender-bending!
Of your male names, I like:
Ellison
Iain
Dorian (one of my favorites!)
Even with Ellison, though, it's one letter away from being Allison, which - despite ending in "son" - has been thoroughly adopted as a female name in most Anglophone cultures. Same with Addison; though I wouldn't use either name for a daughter, personally. Of the other listed names, I would genuinely use Marian or Leslie for a girl.
Of your female names, I quite like Merline.
Forrest, for me, is a quite dashing male name. And maybe it's because I'm an American and was not much older than the kid when the story first, but Elian will forever make me think of poor little Elián González. :-(
Please rate my personal short name lists (the latter includes combos):
