Could ルフレ be considered a gender-neutral name? In the Fire Emblem: Awakening game, the avatar character#Fire_Emblem:_Awakening) — that is, the main character whose name and gender you pick — has a default name. In English, the default name is Robin, because the character can be male or female. Robin is arguably a gender-neutral name in English, so it seems to be a good choice. In the Japanese version, the default name is (Reflet). Does this reasonably come across as "sounding" gender-neutral in the minds of Japanese players? Or do they have no such context because it's a foreign name?

This. sounds very foreign to me, a native Japanese speaker who loves games. People don't have any clue how to determine whether it's a male name or female name. (But if I have to guess, I would imagine it's possibly an European female name.)

I googled "", and then excluded "-", and "-" (where from FE appears as a playable character). I could find only one different character with the same name, and I think she is not so famous.
