I don't think gender-neutral names are a problem. I've gotten the gender wrong once or twice over the phone ("May I speak with Ms. X?") and, after a blushing apology on my part, was graciously forgiven--inevitably, the person was used to it (as opposed to, say, scarred for life already, or this was the straw that broke the camel's back that sent 'em hunting for a pack of ammo).
