I read a short story a while ago and the main character was a boy named Irish
I think it's cool although I don't know if I'd ever use it.

I watched a documentary once (My Life As A Child on TLC) and there was a girl named Rio.
I think that's a really cute name as well.

And do you think the name Cass (not short for anything) could ever pass for a boy's name?

The name Ria for a girl (REE-ah) is one of my favorite, it means 'wind' in arabic and also Rio means 'river' in portoguese. Rio itself sounds like a boy to me. And I actually think it might be a male's name in japanese.

Irish sounds feminine to me, but it would make a pretty name, I agree.

Cass is just too undefined to me, it could be really any gender, any ethnicity etc. But I'm thinking in anglosaxon countries it would be mostly taken as short for Cassidy.

Rio? That's the name of my spider. :P

I have a friend called Iris, we called her Irish sometimes for fun. So to me, it's too feminine to be used as a boy's name.
Rio is cute.
And yes, Cass could pass as a boy's name, IMO. Why make it a long name if you like the name Cass? =)

I don't mind Irish as a boys name. I wouldn't use it because I'm not Irish and it just seems weird to me.

Rio isn't bad, but it seems more like a boys name to me.

I know a guy named Cass. I always liked his name. He really looked like a Cass too.

I had a friend (male) named Cassidy who went by Cass. I like it, but I think it needs to be short for something. Casey, maybe? Cassidy? Not sure. I do like it on a boy, though.

Rio isn't bad, but I would assume it was a boy's name. River tends to be a boy's name, and Rio is Spanish for River. Also, names that end in O tend to be male names while names that end in A tend to be girl's names.

I don't like Irish at all.

Rio, is a name of the company that made my old MP3 player. xD
I dunno about Cass. It's eh.
Irish? Nuh-uh. I don't like that AT all.

Don't like Rio or Irish but Cass is actually kind of cute.

Like Irish, but like you I wouldn't use it. Rio is cute, but reminds me of Rhea. And I think Cass fits with Cole or Cash. I like it. :-)

Rio is cute because it means River. Weirdly enough I actually like Irish as a name now and Cass comes off too girly for pass for a boy.

I knew a boy names Cass in high school
