My wife's name is Keiko. She grew up in Japan, lived there 30 years, and is Japanese. "Kay-koh" is okay to say. If you want to get real technical, it is "Kay-ee-koh" with very little emphasis on "ee." Either way is perfectly acceptable. Her family (mother and 4 sisters in Japan) chooses "Kay-koh" because it is easier to say.
Also could be 恵子 (blessed child). [noted -ed]

Keiko (Kay-ko) is definitely a feminine name in Japan.
It can also mean "joy child" or "grace child" or "revelation child" or "the beginning/opening of a letter child" or numerous other things. In the generations before me, this was an EXTREMELY common name (I know lots of Keikos).As for being a unisex name, I can't speak for other languages, but no Japanese in their right minds would name their boys Keiko unless maybe they wanted him to get beat up or something. It's a very feminine name in Japanese.
No. It's definitely a feminine name.
