Help[Opinions] Re: Names that are easy to cause a person to be misgendered

If they were, it wouldn't last long, either way.
FWIW, a couple I know were pregnant and I asked about names. 'Terry!' they chorused. I said 'And if it's a girl?' and they looked at me with sympathetic understanding and once more chorused 'Terry!'.

I knew a couple over 30 years ago in Michigan who deliberately chose one name for their children regardless of gender as a feminist statement. There first child was Eril and the second was Darian. It ended up the first was female and the second male.

Eril is surprising: it probably sounds like Errol, which would be confusing. Darian could be geographical (silent upon a peak in Darien) or a version of Dorian (Gray); either way, I'd guess male for that one as well.
