It seems Himaruya stopped using the human names after he deleted his old blog, which was around early '08 or so. The new Kitayume blog only goes as far back as May '08, so it was sometime before that. I guess unless another fan asks what the other characters' names would be, we won't know (and it would depend if such a question would even get through to him, since Gentosha Comics filters the fanmail). You can see a few human names referenced in the April Fools' 08 event (Turkey and Japan's surnames and Korea's full human name).

I agree that the mixture of names can be confusing, and I've slipped up a few times in edits. It gets tricky when you're referring to a character who has a human name alongside one who doesn't (like with Vash/Switzerland and Liechtenstein).

Some of the official genderbends can be found on the Hetalia File Archive: http://www.horror-vacui.net/hetarchive/images/?level=album&id=21

I also saved some other "hidden" images of the genderbends from the Kitayume site: http://i30.tinypic.com/29kucm0.gif (female Axis) http://i30.tinypic.com/219xaw9.gif (female Italy beating a guy up) http://i32.tinypic.com/sem26h.gif (fem Allies, minus Russia) http://i42.tinypic.com/35jhx8h.gif (male Hungary) http://i43.tinypic.com/o0perp.gif (male Hungary again)

And Himaruya has this pic on his Bamboo Thicket gallery of "Igiko": http://kitayume.biz/gallery/?no=7&view=5
