Let’s say there’s someone I want to call Mr/Ms/Mrs [Name], but I don’t know their gender, is there a title I can use that doesn’t assume their gender?

“Hey cunt” works for anybody. But your mileage may vary depending on your location.
Should that not be properly, “Oi, cunt!” ?
Depends on what you’re going for, I guess. I’m just an American who doesn’t like most people.

Not a contemporary one, but during the French Revolution, they used ‘Citizen’ for everyone.
comrade
Which, in French, is “citoyen” (masculine) or “citoyenne” (feminine). Not a neutral gendered word.

Well, it depends. Some nouns are epicene, like “enfant” or “adulte” (“un/une enfant/adulte”). Many adjectives are: “rapide”, solide", “mobile”…
But it is gender neutral in English, the language OP was asking about.
Too bad we can’t adopt the Japanese “-san” honorific, as it is gender neutral!
I think we can!
Sup, fool?
Wagwan fam?
Mx. seems the most commonly used for gender neutral. It’s used both by non-binary people and in cases where you purposefully don’t want to put a gender as a prefix.
Is it just pronounced “mix?”
Usually, yes. Or Mixter sometimes.
Homie
This is the one.
Mx (pronounced “mix”) is getting more common
Also, Dr
Comrade, or Captain
This is exactly my approach, except I usually use Cap’n.
Lord [name], my [name], my dear [name], the one they call [name], oh great and powerful [name].
Jokes aside, one I’ve heard of that I liked was “misc” like miscellaneous lol. That one works a bit better in writing that verbal though.
Some other popular ones include Mx, M, Ind/Div, N/A, Mt, Nb, and many others.
For my own personal suggestion, I kinda like the idea of using “The” as a gender neutral title. Like instead of Mr or Ms Smith, it’s The Smith. Has a nice ring to it lol
Hello, The Gary…
You can’t tell me that isn’t objectively the best way to refer to someone named Gary.
