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?

Oh, and I just thought of some more. We have a small population of students from Africa and two of the girls we work with from that group are named Nancy and Grace.

And another boy name is Anthony. Yes, it's Italian in origin, but is heavily used by numerous races.
