I much prefer gender neutral language to using "she" or "he".

Unless of course we are talking about a specific example like "John foolishly unscrewed the cap on his radiator while the engine was running".

In which case I would generally try and mix the gender across examples.

"Jane stabbed herself in the eye with a pencil when she was rear-ended by John on the way to the hospital"

Those aren't pronouns. Making up fake names would get very confusing for the reader.
