Friend of mine is looking for "race neutral" names. Names that, when you hear them, you don't think "Oh that probably a Chinese man's name", or "That's a white girl name".

I've really never thought of the racial aspect of names, so I don't really know how to help her.
She also wants names that "travel" well between culture (like, are easy pronounceable in multiple languages).


Help? ...Thoughts?

Anna is a name that I think is easily pronounced in many languages and isn't too conforming to a certain race/ethnicity.

My friend picked this because she is Australian, but her husband is Dutch and they live in Europe.
