[Opinions] Re: I hope this explains it! :)
I was told that names like Kerry, Shannon and Colleen, which were at one time popular girls names here, were not girls names in Ireland because they are place names (Kerry, Shannon) or the Irish word for girl (Colleen). Even Tara, which is popular in Ireland now, became a girls name in the US first.
