If I see Kerrigan, I think Nancy Kerrigan. But if you use Carrigan, I don’t have any strong association with another person. It just sounds distinguished and unique.

I agree with above poster but I don’t think kids will know who Nancy is or was anyways so I don’t think it matters. I prefer Kerry, Kari, or Carrie to Carrigan/Kerrigan but that is just my opinion.

I think Kerrigan is beautiful! It’s so different. I’ve never met ANYONE with a name like this. It’s on my top girl names as well. I LOVE IT! I would def. say go for it. And I seriosuly doubt anyone is going too associate your daughter with Nancy Kerrigan. Kerrigan is a beautiful and unique name! You should def. use it! GL!

I voted for Carrigan because of the Nancy Kerrigan association but actually, I like either. I think Carrigan/Kerrigan is a pretty and unique name, without being over the top.

Kerrigan! It’s so unique and your daughter would be lucky to get such an adorable, yet classy name! I absolutely love it.

It’s not my favorite name but it’s tolerable. It’s not one of those odd, ’out there’ names that nobody knows how to pronounce but it’s different. (As a teacher, I feel the need to say this...there’s nothing worse that incomprehensible names on an attendance sheet). Kerri would make a nice nick name.
