Here's how I have it in my world with three genders: babies are not named at birth, just called by a temporary baby name until they're old enough to receive their real ones. Around the age of two or three, the child's gender is divined--this is a world where intricate forms of divination are practiced, mainly by priests (it takes some expertise to really know those intricate forms of divination). At that time, a suitable name is chosen.
So the cisgender characters have the kinds of gendered names we'd expect them to have. For my non-binary characters, I use names that are rarely if ever used in the real world and do not have a solid association with masculinity or femininity. Or names that go either way in reality. Some of the cisgender characters also have made up names, but those sound similar to real world male or female names.
