not sure it would work to be honest because it is one partner telling his dad about the relationship not working well. Maybe I should leave them as Nate and Socrates most people think one or other of them is a girl unless they have read the whole book
How about Christian? I have a male character named Christian, but I know 2 girls and one boy named that in real life, and it seems to work for either gender pretty well. Danny/Dani would also work, or Riley, as that's commonly used by both males and females. Same with names like Jordan or Jamie.
OOOH! I Know what scene you're talking about, it's the one I've read!! Nat (Could be Nathanial or Natalie/Natalia, just say Nat, short is better) and do you really need to refer to Soc's name? Can you just have the dad call him "Kiddo" or something?
I need names I think to do it. I want to write it as a piece of flash fiction for a competition. I'll change it a lot but the same idea of a Dad talking to his child. I like the idea of people not knowing the sex of the couple. I may reveal it at the end like call Chris and Sam - Christopher and Samuel. Maybe Sam and Nat to keep the same intial and length as Soc. Yup I do believe we have it Sam and Nat.
