unisex names

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

what are some names that if you saw written down, you wouldn't assume either way?  any name I liked was either obviously male or obviously female and that just isn't working now.

I really like "sage".   and I did like bristol and paris.  but celebs have made those names pretty femme. 

so far I've found these, but can't decide if they lean one way or another:
bronte
bronwyn
roman
rowan
arden
celestine
emery
ellery
hadley
december
ainsley

bonus points if the name is somehow winter/christmas related.

I looked on behindthename.com because I was curious and it's the only reputable name-meaning site I know of ... and it says Bronwyn is from Bronwen and says:

"Derived from the Welsh elements bron "breast" and gwen "white, fair, blessed"."

So I wouldn't give it to a boy. XD I'm not even sure I'd give it to a girl, now. Branwen is super similar, though, with a less giggly meaning (Bran = raven).

The -wyn ending is masculine, -wen is feminine. But I agree, the meaning isn't very masculine.
