It would depend on their personal preference.

I do not think masculine given names are the answer.

This is the only correct answer. If you aren't sure, "parent" is a neutral option to which you can default, which is why you've already used it to refer to a parent of unknown gender.

So what is the actual question?

How to refer to them in reference to their kid? "(Kid's name) parent" works.

How their children should address them? Whatever comes natural to them and their kids.

I'm assuming that the kind of parents who would use gender neutral pronouns are also the sort of parents who probably insist on having their kids call them by their names rather than titles.

They're probably also the sort of people who want to be their kids' friend rather than their parent. And whose kids grow up to be assholes.
