Pronunciation and Spelling Considerations
Maintaining Neutrality Through Spelling
Consistent Spellings: - Camille (never changes) - Dominique (always the same) - Claude (one spelling for all)
Flexible Endings: - Andrea/Andréa/Andree - Gabriel/Gabrielle/Gabrièle - Michel/Michelle/Michele
Creative Solutions: - Yael (instead of Yaël/Yaëlle) - Noe (simplified from Noé/Noë) - Gael (from Gaël/Gaëlle)
International Considerations
When choosing gender-neutral names for international contexts:
Universally Neutral: - Alex, Sam, Max - Charlie, Jamie, Casey - Morgan, Jordan, Taylor
French-Specific Neutral: - Camille, Claude, Dominique - Require explanation in some cultures - Maintain French identity
