Fun thing! Yuri is a Male Russian name but Female Japanese name (or femenine but more gender-neutral, as there are Japanese men named Yuri), Andrea is a Male Italian Name but a Female Name elsewhere. Nicknames like Charlie, Sam, Bobby (Bobbie), Joey (Jo/Joe) and other are also pretty gender-neutral. So telling a person's gender just by their name is not as easy as you make it sound. Also, while the Viera are vaguely Icelandic-identified, they are explicitly a Fantasy race.

The Lore team could indeed choose to give them gendered names, and update the Naming Conventions appropriately, but so far there seems to be more evidence to them having mono-gendered names (What with the "Indistiguishable until puberty" thing) than the alternative. Unless, as Halivel mentioned, they forgo naming until adolescence/change their names upon adolescence.
