Is the name Shannon equally legit for both genders (in other words a truly unisex name), or is it a case of the girls "taking over" a boy's name? I know that the name comes from the river in Ireland, so the name seems unisex based on that. As for the usage, acoording to the stats here on BTN the name has always been used more for girls in the U.S. (but it has ranked for boys as well during the time that it ranked for girls).
