Re: Sheridan
in reply to a message by Canielle
Sounds masculine to me. I wouldn't be surprised to meet a female Sheridan but I don't like it.
I'm most familiar with it from the old tv show Babylon 5 (the captain or whatever was addressed by his surname Sheridan).
Despite the Sher-part it just sounds butch to me, like Brendan is Brenda+n but doesn't seem any less masculine for that.
It seems sort of dated to me, because Sheri / Sherry and the sher-sound in general is pretty outdated. It saw some use for girls along with Madison but to me it seems almost seems like a forerunner to Madison, because the Ma- trend was new and the Sher- trend was old.
