Terry was the first name that popped into mind.
I knew a Christopher/Christine married couple. They both went by Chris. It felt creepy and weird but that might be because they were creepy and weird people.
Sam.
Sure, it’s short for different names; I know several of each, but no-one I know ever uses the full version of either. Most of the names suggested so far are, or at least often are, short forms of names.
Lee
Chris
Francis / Frances
There’s no reason “Chris” couldn’t be the whole name. It doesn’t have to be short for something else. My high school sweetheart had “N” for a middle name; not an initial, no, “N” was her entire middle name.
Of course.
Yeah, if Chris doesn’t count then Alex doesn’t count either since it’s also usually a shortened form but for different names in both genders. (Alexander/Alexandria and their variations.)
Jordan.
Jordan is also very generic on other axis: rich and poor, Black, white, Hispanic. Urban and rural.
Lindsay/Lindsey.
I knew a Pat and Pat who were married. Named their daughter Kat, so stupid, if they wanted to be cute they shoulda named that baby Patette or something. Carroll/Carol is a name that is unisex. A rare one is Aubrey.
Actually, not quite. Where I live, yes, natives pronounce them the same, but in the central-midwest accent, “Don” has a slightly shorter vowel sound than “Dawn”.
Chris came to mind first, followed almost immediately by Pat because of the SNL character.
Dale
Drew
Robin.
Jordan
Taylor
Lindsay/Lindsey

I know that they sound different in other places, which is why I said
Maybe it’s a regional thing, but the ratio of males named Chris vs. females named Chris that I’ve met in my life has to be at least 20 to 1, probably more.
Shannon. I feel like I’ve known equal numbers of both genders named Shannon. Ditto Jo/e.
Yeah, but does it really belong in this thread about unisex names that are split evenly between the genders? It’s my name, and while I have known a significant number of other Carols in my life, not one has been male. Most people don’t even seem to realise it can be a man’s name too. Maybe this varies regionally or generationally, but my experience has been that its technically unisex but in practice overwhelmingly female.
