Help[Opinions] Suggestions for Irish gender neutral names
Hi. Sorry for the confusing subject but I had to use gender neutral instead of unisex for the board to let me post.
I'm a first time poster and I am looking for some ideas for unisex names that have some connection to Ireland. I've had a guilty pleasure crush on Cassidy for a boy for years now and even though I know it's much more common for girls, it just sounds boyish to me and I can't shake it. It got me thinking about other unisex names though that had an Irish theme, like Shannon perhaps too. I am looking for others though that maybe are more usable. Please help.

Thank you. Some great suggestions here. The ones I really like (both for a girl or boy) are in order of preference:
Carey
Kelly
Tierney
Shea
Riley
Kennedy
Sloane
Delaney
I like my name (Casey) but don't want to use that. Would it be too cutesy to use a name with a hard "ka" sound, like Casey, Cassidy, Carey, Kelly etc with my name starting with that sound?

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.

Thank you.
Finley is a nice one. It's growing for both boys and girls but isn't too popular yet.
Faelan / Faolan makes me think of felon a bit too much so I don't care so much for that one.
Caelan / Caolan sounded a bit like Kaylin and all the different variations of spellings of that name which puts it a bit more in the girls only camp for me.
Teague I am not sure on. I don't dislike it but think I prefer some of the others mentioned ahead of this one.
