unisex J-names? - 10-16-2011, 06:53 PM

In English there are some 'uni-sex' names that can be given to a boy or a girl, such as Kim, Rory, Ash, in fact here's a whole list of less-commonly known ones;
Behind the Name: English Unisex Names

It just occurred to me, what -if any- are some of the more common, interesting, or picturesque Japanese uni-sex names?

I mean, ones that can be used -completely unchanged- for the actual given name of either a boy or a girl?

And is this very common in Japan, or extremely uncommon?

I can't read kanji, so please don't answer in that.
If you like, I can read Hiragana or Romaji.

Thank you.
