Surname-to-first-name transitions have created fresh possibilities, and this choice exemplifies the trend with understated confidence. The Irish background provides historical depth, while its current usage as a given name feels decidedly modern and somewhat unexpected for girls. This gender-neutral option appeals to parents moving away from traditionally feminine choices toward something more distinctive and versatile. The two-syllable structure creates balance without complexity, and the strong consonant sounds give it grounded, sturdy quality. It stands apart from more common surname-name choices while remaining accessible and easy to live with. Families appreciating heritage-inspired names with contemporary application and cross-gender potential find this an excellent choice that defies expectations while maintaining practicality.
