Names are nouns not pronouns
Even for gender cishet people a Dylan, Casey or Sam might be a "he/him" or "she/her" and its just not obvious from the name.
So?
Does that mean we all have to waste our time with pronouns?
I can think of only one time I thought a female was a male from their name. It was not a problem. The name was Noel
Seems like the name argument is no argument at all
Pronouns are optional. Nobody is forcing you to list them.
