Re: Kerrigan

It reminds me of other Anglicized Irish surname-names that Americans like to use as trendy firstnames. So it works, although is not my style. It's better than about a third of them, and worse than another third of them, imo. Slightly more appealing than Sullivan, Rafferty, Keegan, and Murphy. About as good as Tiernan.
Kerry / Carey / Cary / Carrie make it seem flexible genderwise. But the -igan surname-ending makes it seem more masculine to me personally.
I think I would like it more if it did not sound so much like "care again."
