Maybe make 4 ♂ symbols and 4 ♀ symbols (if you know there will be 8 cases together) and shuffle them? Oh, I guess even in that case someone would complain if one set of symbols happened to get predominantly at the top of the article, and other set at the bottom of the article...

So probably it is best to alter them like this: ABABABAB... or maybe like this: ABBAABBA... with a coin flip deciding who is A and who is B.

You can also simply use standard names:

Alice, Bob, Carol, Dave, Erin, Frank...
