    I'm writing a novel that includes some characters from China, and I need to create reasonable Chinese names. Can any native Chinese speakers give me some advice?

    Gender misunderstandings are a big part of the plot, so I need names that are good for both men and women. The characters were born in the 80s or 90s. They have realistic names that a real person would have, not weird fictional names. One of them has the family name 洛. I haven't chosen a family name for the other characters yet. I also need names for their family members.

    The 洛 family has 4 girls and 2 boys, but some of them have gender neutral names.

    Some names I am considering for the 洛 family:
    洛伊希
    洛星
    洛心希
    洛杰希
    洛渊明
    洛明朗
    洛菊瑞
    洛菊岚
    洛菊莲
    洛菊利

    Are there any good resources for gender neutral Chinese names? It's okay if the website is in Chinese.

    Chinese has a lot of homonyms, so I don't want to accidentally choose a name like 洛希乐 that sounds like 落希了.
