When it comes to names given at birth, I don't think it matter if it's unisex or not, because it can always be changed. With or without a unisex name, pretty much all children will be raised with their gender assigned at birth, so a name would only be a part of how their gender and sex are treated as intertwined on a regular basis. There's nothing wrong with gender or having a gendered name, they can always be changed. I don't think the process of naming a child should have to rely on the unlikely (but obviously still present) possibility of their gender identity not fitting their biological sex. I don't think that all unisex names stem from surnames, there's Sage, Dana, Aviv, Kit, Reyes, Angel, Aster, Bryn, Cedar, Onyx, Jade, Cyan, Dee, Haven, Jody, Noah, Guadalupe, ect. and names from cultures and languages like Hawaiian, in which all names are unisex (Leilani, Lehua, Keanu).
Some of my favourite gender neutral names would probably be Sage, Jade, Cedar, Angel, River, Alexis, Rio and Shirley.
