Finding a Masculine Name that Works in English and German

General Name Discussion
1

Hello, everyone!!
Not exactly a baby name, but as of lately I’ve spent a lot of time looking for a new name I can go by online/use for myself, since my given one is very feminine and I’d feel more comfortable with an unisex or commonly masculine name.
[name_f]My[/name_f] biggest issue so far is that it has to be pronouncable/used in [name_f]English[/name_f] and in [name_m]German[/name_m].

So far I really like
-[name_u]Julian[/name_u]/Julius (sadly I know too many people IRL with those names…)
-[name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] (current favourite, but possibly too close to [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f])
-a bit more unusual names like [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] and [name_m]Merlin[/name_m]
-Ancient [name_u]Rome[/name_u]/Greece related names that aren’t too “far out”
I’d also want it to not be too popular/common!

Thank you in advance for any insights or suggestions!!

I think the perfect name to match your requirements and favourites/taste is [name_m]Kasper[/name_m]!!

My first thought was [name_u]Konstantin[/name_u]! This is the [name_m]German[/name_m] variant of [name_u]Constantine[/name_u], which has the [name_m]Roman[/name_m] emperor connection!

Gabriel is lovely too.
