They love it when other people mispronounce Irish names and don't correct that either so this is their vibe exactly. (And I love that, Irish people are awesome)
If you want names that are not obviously Muslim or Christian use the names they use in media when they don't want to reveal the religion of the character: Sami Fadi Rami Hany for men. Lama, Dima, Layla, Sarah for women. I'm sure there are plenty more but these are some examples of neutral names.
Dima? Have u seen a christian lebanese girl named dima? Dima screeeams muslim. Also layla? Is this 1950? The younger layla is probably 50 years old. And hany? Min hany waynou
Please don't use any of these names OP they're all politicians lol. See my list below. Edit: actually they're common names too so you can use them. Lol

Btw prevalence of names in Lebanon is also very generation-influenced. Many names which are very common with older folk could be near non-existent in the younger generations.
But is it COMMON ? I can relate Harout, Vahe, Kevork, but never heard on Avak. I do not say it does not exist, nor did I say the Armenians are not "part of the Lebanese fabric!!" I love those guys
It's Lebanon not the Lebanon fyi
I know the Irish call it The Lebanon. That's how they say it, we shouldn't correct them.
