ParkerGirl:
Kelly (I've met a couple of boy Kellys so I don't find it too weird, but I still see it as a girl name)
Evelyn
Cheyenne (I've met one boy Cheyenne and it seemed weird )
Jocelyn (I think Joscelin or Josselin work on boys, but not Jocelyn)
Shirley
Vivian (never seen this on a boy so I don't think of it as unisex, but it would be cool on a boy who could pull it off)
Wren (same here, I could see it working on the right boy but in general I think of it as a girl name) Truly Unisex:
Bryn *
Gwyn * (although I'd expect this to be short for a girl's name like Gwyneth)
Ainsley * (I'd expect it on a girl but I think it works for both)
Lane
Merle (I'd expect it on a boy but it would also work on a girl. Old either way.)
Kahurangi *
Inyene *
Manu (I'm not very familiar with this name though)
Amandeep
Naphtali (;looks unisex to me but probably only because it reminds me of girl names like Nefertari and Natalie)

It's not listed here as such, but it's a unisex Maori name meaning "bird".Naphtali (;looks unisex to me but probably only because it reminds me of girl names like Nefertari and Natalie)
I agree. In the Bible he was a son of Jacob
