What are some challenges of choosing a unisex name in Italian culture?

Italian names have a uniquely gender-specific grammatical presentation, making it challenging to choose a unisex name in this culture. While they may use names with a common base, the ending changes from o or i to a. For instance, the name John is Italianized as Gianni for boys and Gianna for girls.

Are there any unisex names that are popular in other cultures that also work well in Italian?

Andrea, meaning ‘strong’ in Greek and Cesare, meaning ‘hairy’ in Roman, are a few unisex names from other cultures that work well in Italian.
