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.
