[Facts] Chinese Names - Help
Hello! I'm looking for some gender-neutral Chinese name characters for a character of mine - a Agender Chinese kid. I know Chinese names are usually boy or girl, but does anyone have a few that are gender-neutral?I have a few ideas: 珍 - precious, 正 敏 - upright and clever, 仁 义 - kind and righteous, or 韧玉 - persevering as jade, but I'm not sure if these are gendered one way or another. I also really like 彤晓 (Tóng Xiǎo)but again, not sure about the genderAny suggestions are helpful, particularly from native speakers!

珍, 敏 - generally feminine but were popular among males in the past, kind of neutral.
仁, 义, 正 - quite masculine.
韧玉 - excellent, dignified, neutral, very Chinese.
彤晓 - 晓彤 is a common neutral Chinese name. The same in the west, many names are or were used by other genders. In China, people are less strict about the gender of names. You don't need to worry about it if your character is asexual.

I like Bao, Chen, Fen, Jin, Lin, Min, Qing, Tai, Wei, Yan, Yi, Yin, Zan and Zhong. All these names are unisex.
