Irish Unisex Names
Many Irish names, particularly the surname-names, swing both ways, an increasingly popular method of injecting coolness into your baby’s name. While names such as Kerry and Kelly, once used for boys as well as girls, have largely shifted to the female side, a whole new raft of choices has arrived to take their place. Here is a selection of names equally appropriate, not to mention cool, for both girls and boys.

Pan-Celtic Cool
As Celtic languages have several different branches, you may want to look beyond Irish names to those of your fellow Celts: the Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Breton and even the Manx, from the Isle of Man. As with Irish names, many of these are being revived in their native lands, offering the perfect blend of tradition and exotic cool. Note that a few of the boys’ names—Dylan, Idris, Reese—would work and perhaps be even cooler for girls.
