Re: Suggestions for Irish gender neutral names
in reply to a message by Casey
My family tree on my Mothers (Irish) side is full of Frances's / Francis's. Ailbhe is both a female warrior and a male saint
Carey comes from an Irish surname and is pretty established on both genders
Kelly
Rowan I usually consider nature names unisex

Thank you. I mentioned liking Carey and Kelly to the poster above. The only Carey I know thinking about it is Carey Mullighan but it's growing on me more and more. I love the meaning behind Ailbhe, but when I saw he pronunciation I wondered if it would get butchered. I am not a big fan of Rowan on either gender. Not sure why. I do like nature names, but just not this one.
