Neutral
Sheridan
As a gender-neutral name, Sheridan traces back to Irish, where it is understood to mean "Irish Ó Sirideáin". It peaked back in the 1990s and has been gradually easing since. In the current registry, it is uncommon enough to feel personal. Few names stick around this long: it shows up across almost the entire twelve-decade span this registry covers.
