I'm pretty flexible with it. It's also pretty arbitrary for me. I don't know if there are any hard and fast rules, it's all very fickle and based entirely on my own feelings. It can change any time, it's chaos.
I have a "gender neutral" list, and I also have lots of names that are technically not unisex, but for whatever reason I think they would work for any gender. Stuff like
Albie,
Ezra, Calloway,
Enyo,
Fiadh,
Jonquil,
Neith,
Sloane, etc.
There are definitely some names that I prefer having a more strict gender assignment association for, but even that is highly personal - I don't think it's "wrong" and would demand that everyone else agree with me; it's just a personal preference.
