Sokka: Sokka gets to keep his/her name. An alternative, however, would be Sukka, from the Inuit name Suka, meaning "Fast".
Girl Aang
Aang: Aang also keeps her/his name for nostalgia's sake. True, the name is a bit boyish, but I like the idea since her personality in a female character (one of my my favorite parts of this AU is that if she were written as a girl, there'd be very little change to her personality) would make her seem a little tomboyish.
Girl Zuko
Zuleika: A bit wiser than male Zuko, but no less impulsive and hotheaded. She's still two years older than her brother Azulon (Azula)
Boy Toph
Toph: One of few that keep their original name because I think Toph was already a bit of a boyish or gender-neutral name. Like with Aang, there honestly wouldn't be much of an impact on his personality or story if his character had been written as a boy. In fact, I think it was said his original design was male.
Man Yue (Wait for it, I swear there's a reason for that one change here with the introduction)
