60 Gender Neutral Names

The past few weeks, I’ve been working on a mystery to be told via Instagram, using photos, captions, and videos. Because the gender and the race of any of the actors won’t change anything with the story, I chose to name each of the characters with a gender-neutral name. We’ll see what happens when we cast the group.

However, while I was gathering names, I figured I’d gather some more and share them with you.
