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Sherry and the sher-sound in general is pretty outdated.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.
