(I double-checked all the names, and expanded their entries with more information, making this a finished draft of how I want all the names pages to be. As part of quality control, I removed names where the data did not support them being gender neutral, such as if demographics show that they are over 90% masculine or over 90% feminine in use. I retained a few such names when I had evidence that they have been neutral in some cultures and times in history.)

Azriel (עֲזְרִיאֵל). Hebrew. Meaning "God helps" or "God is my help." Also transliterated as Asriel or Azrael. In the Bible, Asriel was the son of Manasseh, and a couple of other masculine figures, so it was a commonplace name for men. Azrael is the name of the Angel of Death in some Jewish traditions, Islam, and sometimes Christianity. This angel can be a fearful symbol of mortality, or seen as helpfully guiding the soul of the deceased to the afterlife. Angels are traditionally believed to be neither male nor female, because they are not mortal. Angel names usually end in -el (meaning "of God"), and are usually gender neutral, but more often used as masculine names.[279][280] US SSA data shows about 1,434 people named Azriel, used as a masculine name 73% of the time;[281] about 478 people named Azrael, masculine 81% of the time;[282] and about 31 people named Asriel, masculine 75% of the time.[283] Keywords: Biblical, gothic, masculine inclined, three syllables, uncommon
