I'm semi-familiar with Kiernan Shipka (she was on
Mad Men before
Chilling Adventures), and even if it's not the case, her name screams "mother's maiden name became child's first name regardless of gender."
People can really grow into their names, and in watching her she does rather look like a Kiernan, if that makes sense; but it's not a name I can imagine on any other girl / woman.
I do kind of like Kiernan for a boy; but I prefer both Kieran and Tiernan.
