Short, gender neutral names

Looking for short (5 letters or less) unisex names.

Currently on my list:

Kit
[name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]

*[name_m]How[/name_m] do you feel on [name_u]Theo[/name_u] for a girl, not [name_f]Thea[/name_f] or [name_f]Theodora[/name_f], just [name_u]Theo[/name_u]?

Theo definitely feels way too masculine for me to consider it gender neutral. From your list, my favorites are [name_u]Kit[/name_u] and [name_u]Sage[/name_u].

Some other ideas:
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] (I know 7 letters but it feels pretty short)
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_u]Ash[/name_u]
[name_u]Sky[/name_u]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_u]Jamie[/name_u]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

Consider repeats as seconds!

I love all the names you have listed! I think [name_u]Theo[/name_u] would work. [name_f]My[/name_f] dad has a cousin named [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] “[name_u]Theo[/name_u]” but she has only ever gone by [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. It also makes me think of the character from The Haunting of [name_m]Hill[/name_m] House, even though she was [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] “[name_u]Theo[/name_u]” too, she only went by [name_u]Theo[/name_u].

I’m sorry I don’t think [name_u]Theo[/name_u] works for a girl. It’s very boyish charm.
I get charlie ( I’m a [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f])
Other short unisex names I think could work are
[name_u]Billie[/name_u]
[name_f]Terri[/name_f]
[name_u]Leigh[/name_u] ( pronounced [name_u]Lee[/name_u])
[name_u]Jo[/name_u]

Theo for a girl is kind of cute

I can’t think of any other names different from the great ones others have suggested but my initial though was [name_u]Beau[/name_u] or [name_f]Brynn[/name_f].

In terms of ‘[name_u]Theo[/name_u]’ for a girl I would personally only use it if the full name was [name_f]Theodora[/name_f], [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] etc. I think its cute but too boyish as a stand-alone in my opinion. But go with what you love!

I like your names! I like [name_u]Theo[/name_u] for a girl but only as a nn, sorry. I’d like her to have the option of something that’s considered less boyish (unisex or feminine). Though I have included some more boyish names on the list so I kind of contradict myself lol.

Though I prefer the names on your list to my suggestions (except [name_u]Rory[/name_u]!).
