Because if you had some common sense, "Ruby" is a nickname for Ruben, regardless of gender, and Rubyn is just an alternate spelling. I specifically chose not to use Garnet because IT"S NOT AN R NAME. What iswrong with you? Team GRBY? Is that what you want?

Jaunne because it's Jaune but the feminine form, like Jean - Jeanne. It's a color based name, not the French based name. So again, what is wrong with you?

Norras is a different way to say Norris, which is a Viking name. Viking as in Anglo/French.

Sun is also a girl's name in other languages. And Sun Wukong is Chinese you idiot...

Cacao changes the pronunciation. No.

I kept Yatsuhashi because it's not really gender specific.

The point of these names are to keep them true to the character, not the name chame for the sake of names itself.
